- Build computer vision and sensor fusion systems using camera, LiDAR, and IMU data.
- Integrate learning-based models with robotics software stacks (ROS/ROS2).
- Design pipelines for data collection, simulation, and reinforcement learning.
- Collaborate with robotics and hardware engineers to deploy models in live environments.
- Continuously evaluate model performance and robustness across diverse real-world scenarios.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 3–8 years of hands-on experience in machine learning, robotics, or computer vision with practical production exposure.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a closely related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- Proficiency in Python and C++ for robotics software development.
- Strong experience with ROS/ROS2 for robotics software integration.
- Solid expertise in sensor fusion and multi-sensor perception using camera, LiDAR, and IMU data.
- Hands-on experience with simulation environments such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, CARLA, MuJoCo, or PyBullet.
- Familiarity with reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or adaptive control techniques.
- Proven ability to design, train, and deploy learning-based models in live robotics systems and production pipelines.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills for working with cross-functional hardware and software teams.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary range: $220,000 – $300,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
- Competitive equity and benefits package.
