About the job
Build and own an end-to-end real-time perception pipeline that estimates geometry from degraded imagery and supplies reliable outputs to a robotics control loop on embedded hardware.
What you'll do
- Develop and measure the real-time perception pipeline from sensing through geometry estimation to control-loop output.
- Evaluate sensing options and validate physical accuracy, performance, and failure detection through experiments.
- Set technical direction as perception work expands toward learned methods.
What they ask for
- Experience closing a real-time camera-based loop on physical hardware, with measured rate and end-to-end latency.
- Strong classical vision and 3-D geometry expertise, including camera geometry, triangulation, registration, calibration, and error propagation.
- Deployed real-time segmentation or feature extraction on degraded imagery.
- Strong modern production C++, ROS 2, and GPU-accelerated inference on embedded hardware under a hard per-frame budget.
Tools
C++, ROS 2
AI focus
Set technical direction as perception work grows toward learned methods; GPU-accelerated inference on embedded hardware is also part of the role.
