Description

  • Design, implement, and maintain the perception pipeline for autonomous mobile robots, including object detection, segmentation, localization, and mapping.
  • Integrate and calibrate LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, and other sensors on production robot platforms.
  • Develop robust point cloud processing and filtering for reliable robot operation.
  • Build and maintain sensor fusion systems that combine multiple modalities for accurate environment understanding.
  • Create and manage datasets for perception model training, validation, and regression testing.
  • Collaborate closely with navigation, controls, and hardware teams to ensure perception outputs meet downstream requirements.
  • Debug and resolve perception failures on deployed robots using logs, recorded sensor data, and on-site investigation.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for perception software testing and deployment.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience building perception systems for physical robots at a robotics or autonomous vehicle company.
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and Python.
  • Deep experience with LiDAR processing, including point cloud filtering, clustering, registration, and SLAM.
  • Hands-on experience with camera-based perception.
  • Production experience with ROS or ROS 2.
  • Experience with sensor calibration, including intrinsic, extrinsic, and multi-sensor calibration.
  • Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow for perception tasks.
  • Track record of deploying perception software to real robots in real environments, not just simulation.
  • Strong debugging skills and comfort working with physical hardware.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a small, fast-moving team.
  • Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field preferred.
  • Experience with AWS IoT, Greengrass, or similar edge-cloud architectures preferred.
  • Experience in logistics, warehousing, or freight environments preferred.
  • Background in Gazebo or other physics simulation for sensor modeling preferred.
  • Ability to work remotely with reliable high-speed internet access and a dedicated workspace.
  • Willingness to travel periodically to the Atlanta facility for hardware integration and testing.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity in an early-stage robotics company.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
  • Permissive time off policy.
  • A small team where your work has direct, visible impact on shipped products.
  • The opportunity to work on robots operating in production today, not a research project.
  • Company-provided laptop and necessary peripherals for remote work.
