Senior Engineer, Research-to-Product Perception (R6022)

About the role

Responsibilities

• Evaluate emerging models and methods against representative sensor data and autonomy needs.
• Build prototypes and experiments that reveal strengths, limitations, and practical deployment opportunities.
• Combine learned and classical approaches to improve detection, tracking, geometric vision, or sensor fusion.
• Optimize and integrate capabilities for edge deployment, contributing Python and C++ software with support from experienced product engineers.
• Help deliver tested, documented capabilities and stay involved as other teams adopt them.

Requirements

• A PhD in computer vision, machine learning (ML/DL), robotics, or a related field, or an equivalent record of advanced research and hands-on engineering.
• Research depth in an area such as multimodal vision, visual foundation models, video understanding, open-vocabulary perception, or embodied learning.
• Strong Python skills and experience with PyTorch or a comparable ML framework.
• A thoughtful approach to experiments, evaluation data, and understanding why models fail.
• Experience building substantial research software, an interest in developing production-quality C++, and a collaborative approach to solving problems.
• Experience bringing a research prototype into sustained use.
• Experience with robotics, real sensors, temporal data, or multi-sensor perception.
• Familiarity with vision-language models, vision-language-action models, or embodied AI.
• Experience with C++, edge inference, or model optimization using tools such as ONNX, TensorRT, or CUDA.

Benefits

• Vision
