Sr. Robotics Engineer, Perception

Job Responsibility

• Detect and estimate 6-DoF poses and 3D dimensions of rigid objects under occlusion and challenging lighting.
• Integrate and synchronize multi-modal sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, radar/ultrasound).
• Perform extrinsic/intrinsic calibration techniques (hand-eye, LiDAR–camera alignment).
• Implement lightweight localization methods (e.g., point-cloud registration, marker-based or feature-map alignment) within constrained, repetitive environments like shipping containers.

Qualification/Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception and sensor fusion, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role.
• Education: Minimum bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
• Technical Expertise: Proficient in C++, Python, and ROS 1/ROS 2. Hands-on with industrial 3D cameras, LiDARs, IMUs, radar sensors, and synchronized data acquisition. Deep understanding of multi-sensor calibration techniques (e.g., hand-eye, LiDAR–camera extrinsics). Strong background in both deep-learning (e.g., YOLO, Mask R-CNN) and classical vision (feature matching, PnP, RANSAC) toolchains. Proficiency with OpenCV, PCL, Open3D for real-time image and point-cloud processing.
• Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving skills and data-driven decision-making. Excellent communication—capable of presenting complex technical concepts clearly to cross-functional teams.
• Preferrable/Plus: Exposure to SLAM-lite or marker-based mapping approaches (AprilTags, ArUco). Prior work with cloud-based monitoring/logging (AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT).
