deploying the first billion robots for manufacturing. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We're looking for a Robot Perception Engineer to develop the systems that give our robots a real-time understanding of the parts and workcells in front of them. You'll own the software that turns raw sensor data into the structured observations our controllers depend on, from camera integration and calibration through segmentation, tracking, and the 3D monitoring that lets our robots run alongside people.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of experience in robotics perception, computer vision, or a closely related field
- Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python and C++
- Hands-on experience with sensor integration and calibration (cameras, depth sensors, LiDAR, hand-eye)
- Experience building real-time perception pipelines that ran on real hardware
- Fluency with both learned and classical CV, and the judgment to know which one a problem calls for
- Experience with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics middleware

- Develop and maintain real-time perception pipelines, integrating and calibrating cameras, depth sensors, and LiDAR with our robot platforms
- Build segmentation, tracking, and pose estimation that holds up under part-to-part variation, deformable materials, and unreliable depth on thin or reflective features
- Design the structured observation spaces our learned controllers consume, along with the labeling pipelines that make training them cheap
- Own the 3D safety perception stack: occupancy prediction from point clouds, speed modulation, and protective stops that let our robots operate without fencing
- Work with the controls and policy teams to connect perception outputs to policy inputs at control frequency
- Support bring-up and field testing of new camera and sensor...
