Research Engineer - Robot Perception and Sensor Fusion

About the role

This role focuses on perception as a system-level capability, including how sensing, representation, and understanding integrate into full robotic stacks. You will design perception pipelines that operate efficiently under real-world constraints and connect seamlessly with planning, reasoning, and control layers across heterogeneous compute systems.

Responsibilities

• Develop perception systems (SLAM, sensor fusion, semantic mapping)
• Design multi-modal sensing pipelines and environment representations
• Integrate perception with planning, reasoning, and control systems
• Evaluate performance under real-world constraints (latency, bandwidth, robustness)
• Contribute to system-level integration and demonstrations
• Translate perception workloads into platform-level requirements

Required Skills and Experience

• Strong background in robotics perception (SLAM, vision, sensor fusion)
• Experience with real-world robotic systems or datasets
• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python
• Familiarity with modern perception and mapping techniques
• Publishations in top-tier venues

Nice to have

• Experience with multi-modal learning (vision, lidar, tactile)
• Familiarity with edge deployment and optimization
• Experience integrating perception with full robot stacks

In Return

You will define how robots perceive and represent the world as part of integrated intelligence systems—shaping both Arm’s research direction and the architectures that will power robots at global scale.
