About the role
- We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain real-time perception pipelines - integrating and calibrating sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, depth sensors) with our humanoid robot platforms
- Build and optimize object detection, tracking, and scene understanding systems for safe operation in complex, unstructured environments
- Own the streaming infrastructure that delivers sensor data reliably to foundation models, teleoperation systems, and onboard control stacks
- Implement and validate safety-certified perception components, including object detection and collision avoidance, to meet real-world deployment requirements
- Support bring-up and field testing of new camera hardware and sensor configurations
- Experience building real-time perception pipelines on embedded or edge compute platforms
- We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots.
- Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design.
- You'll own the software that transforms raw sensor data into reliable, actionable perception - from sensor integration and calibration to safety-certified object detection and streaming data to our foundation models and teleoperation stack.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with sensor integration and calibration (cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, depth sensors)
- Familiarity with streaming and networking systems for low-latency sensor data transport
- Experience with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware in production or research contexts
- Ability to debug across the full stack - from driver-level sensor issues to perception behavior on live hardware
- Experience with safety-certified or safety-critical perception systems (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or similar)
- Familiarity with teleoperation systems and the latency and reliability constraints they impose
- Experience deploying and optimizing perception models on edge or onboard compute (quantization, TensorRT, etc.)
- Familiarity with humanoid or legged robot platforms and the unique perception challenges they present
Nice to have
- Nice to Have (But Not Required)
Benefits
- 4+ years of experience in robotics perception, computer vision, or a closely related field
