Your Role

• Design, develop, and implement advanced perception systems for our humanoid robot, focusing on robustness, accuracy, and real-time performance.
• Implement and optimize machine learning models for perception tasks, including deep learning for adaptive perception, object recognition, and scene understanding.
• Develop and implement sensor fusion pipelines, integrating data from diverse sensors (LiDAR, cameras, depth sensors, IMUs).
• Conduct rigorous sensor calibration and develop ML-driven techniques for adaptive calibration and noise reduction.
• Join a team developing cutting-edge technology to improve the safety of humanoid robots in manufacturing.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest research and advancements in computer vision, machine learning, and robotics.

We're Looking For

• MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception or a related field.
• Demonstrated expertise in rigorous sensor calibration and fusion, complemented by the ability to leverage machine learning techniques.
• Deep practical experience with a broad spectrum of sensors (LiDAR, cameras, depth, IMUs) and strong proficiency in applying machine learning algorithms.
• Experience addressing humanoid perception needs (self-occlusion, balance, HRI) through robust CV and sensor fusion.
• Proficiency in C++, Python, and relevant computer vision and machine learning libraries (e.g., OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced startup environment.

Preferred Or Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with CUDA for GPU-accelerated perception algorithms.
• Publications in top-tier robotics or computer vision conferences.
• Experience in a humanoid robot startup environment.
