About The Role

AtARX Robotics, you will help advance theperceptioncapabilities of next-generation unmanned ground vehicles. As a Staff Engineer –RoboticsPerception, you will develop the systems that enable robots to interpret complex outdoor environments and make safe, reliable decisions in real time.

You will work closely with autonomy, navigation, hardware, and software teams to integrateperceptioncapabilities into a unified robotics platform. Your work will directly influence how autonomous and teleoperated systemsoperatein challenging, unstructured environments under real-world constraints.

What You’ll Build

• Design and implement perception algorithms for object detection, terrain classification, obstacle detection, and scene understanding in off-road environments
• Fuse and process sensor data from LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, and GNSS for robust environmental interpretation and free-space understanding
• Develop ML and deep learning-based models to improve perception performance in dynamic outdoor conditions
• Optimize real-time perception pipelines for embedded systems under strict size, weight, and power constraints
• Test and validate perception systems in simulation and real-world environments, including harsh conditions such as mud, dust, and rain
• Integrate perception outputs into navigation and path planning systems for safe autonomous traversal
• Support system-level calibration, synchronization, and sensor alignment in collaboration with hardware and systems teams
• Continuously improve robustness and reliability through field testing and data-driven iteration
• Work across teams to ensure perception systems are deployable, scalable, and production-ready

What You Bring

• Advanced degree (MSc or higher) in Robotics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a related engineering field
• Strong proficiency in Python and C++ for robotics and ML system development
• Solid understanding of perception fundamentals including object detection, segmentation, terrain understanding, and obstacle detection in unstructured environments
• Experience developing and deploying machine learning-based perception systems in real-world robotics applications
• Hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorRT
• Proficiency with OpenCV, PCL, or Open3D for perception and 3D data processing
• Experience working with ROS2, simulation environments, and robotics validation workflows
• Strong Linux development skills with experience in CI/CD and modern software engineering practices
• A structured, self-driven, and proactive approach to solving complex perception challenges
• Experience with Rust or CUDA and edge computing platforms are a plus

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop theirexpertisefurther.
