Responsibilities
End-to-end ownership of perception model development for projects, ensuring high accuracy in model inference
Design and implement data pipelines to collect, clean, and annotate sensor data to improve model performance continuously
Optimizes algorithms for edge deployment, ensuring models run efficiently on embedded systems with limited compute resources
Integrates AI software with hardware or control systems, programming autonomous inspection missions and data capture routines
Designs and develops logic to ensure safe operation, including a robust "clear path" validation logic to distinguish between false positives and real safety hazards
Interfaces sensors (LiDAR, GPS, IMU, Ultrasonic) with software applications to create a complete semantic understanding of the facility surroundings
Designs and develops end-to-end solutions using image analysis techniques to solve complex industrial problems
Collaborates with Systems Engineers to implement data streams for digital twin construction, translating real-world sensor inputs into virtual model states
Leverages latest AI techniques for orchestration, reasoning, or operator-facing intelligence within larger manufacturing systems
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or related Engineering field
2 years of professional experience in software development or data science
Advanced proficiency in Python and C++ for production environments
Experience designing modular, maintainable AI systems and APIs for production deployment
Practical experience with OpenCV, Object Detection (YOLO/SSD), and feature extraction
Proficiency in PyTorch or TensorFlow. Experience with ML libraries like scikit-learn, and LLM APIs/frameworks like LangChain/LlamaIndex
Experience integrating perception and AI software with robotic platforms and sensor systems (cameras, LiDAR, radar), including real-time data ingestion and synchronization
Seeks technical solutions independently and debugs complex hardware-software integration issues without immediate escalation
Proactively recommends code optimizations or new library adoptions to improve system latency
Effectively communicate technical concepts and tradeoffs to cross functional teams, including non-technical stakeholders
Open to exploring, prototyping, and evaluation of new ideas, models, and approaches, using experimentation and data to inform decision making and drive continuous improvement
Python, C++, JavaScript
Preferred
Master's Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
3–5 Years of professional experience in software development or data science
3+ years of experience specifically in Industrial Automation, Manufacturing, or Logistics sectors
Proven track record of 3–5 full lifecycle implementations of engineering automation systems (from concept to production deployment), rather than just research or academic projects
Hands-on experience with SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), VIO (Visual Inertial Odometry), or Structure from Motion (SFM) techniques
Experience working with 3D Point Cloud data (LiDAR/Depth Cameras) for object detection and navigation
Experience deploying AI models on edge computing devices (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi) or embedded microprocessors
Familiarity with model optimization tools (e.g., TensorRT, ONNX) to ensure algorithms run efficiently in real-time environments
Exposure to simulation environments (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or Unity) for testing robotics algorithms before physical deployment
Experience using Agile/Scrum methodologies to manage software development sprints
Computer Vision, Azure AI Engineer Associate, NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) Certificate
