## About the role

That means perception isn't just about capability — it's about trust. Every person Digit works near is counting on our perception systems to see them, understand them, and never get it wrong, whether Digit is in a fixed work cell or navigating a busy, ever-changing facility. We're looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer, Perception to own the design and implementation of the algorithms that let Digit perceive its surroundings and stay safe as we take on these more dynamic, less constrained environments. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Drive adoption of state-of-the-art perception models by evaluating emerging research and technology and deciding what's worth building into future robot architectures
- Promote best practices in model design, implementation and testing to deliver high-quality, scalable software
- Optimize deep neural networks and associated data pipelines to run efficiently on embedded systems (e.g., model structure optimization, CUDA inference etc.)
- Set standards for verification and validation of ML-based perception models, especially for rare and safety-critical scenarios
- Collaborate across navigation, controls, and hardware teams to ensure the perception model serves the whole robot
- 5+ years of experience in machine learning/perception for robotics
