Artificial Intelligence (AI)Machine LearningRobotics
Responsibilities
Develop and implement algorithms, systems, and architecture for high-DOF robotic systems working in manufacturing environments
Ability to configure, troubleshoot, and develop low-latency robust interfaces for high-bandwidth, high-throughput sensor data
Develop and implement computer vision and perception algorithms using multi-modal sensing for 3D geometry reconstruction, segmentation, and inspection for manufacturing applications
Develop high-performance production-ready software packages and systems by enabling GPU programming and other hardware acceleration methods
Stay up to date with new research and novel findings in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence
Test and evaluate current state-of-art algorithms and techniques of planning, learning, perception, and control
Maintain current knowledge of the product and related hardware to offer technical assistance to both internal and external teams, at our facilities and customer locations
Effectively identify and resolve complex and stochastic software issues through systematic debugging, ensuring optimal functionality of the system
Allocate 40% of the time to assist the application team for POCs, FATs and deployments, complementing core software development responsibilities with support in application-related tasks and collaborations
Travel to client locations as needed for on-site system-level debugging, ensuring the restoration and maintenance of optimal system functionality
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science or similar engineering discipline
4+ years of demonstrated industry experience in developing, implementing, and testing algorithms for planning/learning/perception/control
Experienced in developing complex function-based software that interacts with sensor inputs, control loops, and redundancy
Proficiency in C++ and Python production-level coding
Strong experience implementing and optimizing 3D geometry algorithms such as point cloud filtering, registration (ICP, feature-based), and segmentation
Ability to fuse multi-view 2D and 3D sensor data (e.g., RGB + depth, multiple point clouds) into a single aligned point cloud or mesh
Hands-on experience working with hardware vision sensors (e.g., Zivid, LMI, Ensenso, Realsense) and integrating them into existing software stacks
Familiar with ML/DL methods for image and point cloud processing
Proven track record of architecting perception pipelines that combine classical 3D geometry with ML/DL approaches
Strong ML/DL background as a core skill — including 2D image segmentation, 3D semantic/instance segmentation of point clouds, defect detection, and combining learned with geometry-based methods
Experience designing and deploying multi-sensor fusion frameworks (calibration, synchronization, merging outputs from multiple cameras) in real-world systems
Ability to lead hardware–software integration efforts and ensure robustness across deployments
Preferred
MS/PhD degree in Robotics, Computer Science or similar engineering discipline
Experience deploying software systems in production environments
Designing and owning full active perception pipelines, including exploration strategies, viewpoint planning, and coverage optimization, and integrating them into robotic workflows
