Job description

We are hiring a Perception Engineer (Vision & Sensor) to lead end-to-end perception systems, including 2D/3D cameras and industrial sensors. This role focuses on building reliable, production-grade vision pipelines with strong ownership of calibration, validation, and real-world deployment. You will ensure perception outputs are accurate, robust, and usable for downstream robotic execution.

Location: Dubai

Key Responsibilities:

• Integrate and maintain camera and sensor systems with stable acquisition and repeatable configurations
• Develop perception pipelines delivering measurements, poses, and confidence/quality metrics
• Own calibration processes, including camera calibration and camera-to-world/robot alignment
• Build and optimize algorithms for image processing, detection, and inspection
• Work on 3D perception (depth, ToF, point clouds) for accurate geometry and measurements
• Validate systems in real-world conditions and troubleshoot issues like lighting, vibration, and performance constraints
• Implement quality gating to ensure only reliable data reaches execution systems
• Document system behavior, validation results, and debugging insights

Qualifications & Skills:

• Strong experience in industrial camera/vision system integration
• Hands-on expertise in 3D perception (depth sensing, ToF, point clouds)
• Experience with calibration and coordinate transformations (hand-eye calibration preferred)
• Proficiency in C++/Python with OpenCV (point cloud libraries are a plus)
• Strong real-world debugging skills (handling drift, dropped frames, environmental variations)
• Quality validation mindset with experience in data reliability checks

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in sensor fusion and time synchronization
• Familiarity with GPU acceleration for perception/inference
