## 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
