Resumo da oferta

Arctic Research and Development in Cirencester seeks a Perception Engineer to advance autonomous systems for extreme environments. You will deploy edge ML models and design perception pipelines that fuse vision, LiDAR, radar, and IMU data for robust situational awareness.

We value a strong background in robotics and ML perception, with Python and C++ expertise and ROS/ROS2 experience. Field deployments and cross-disciplinary collaboration are core to this role.

Qualificações

• 5+ years industry experience in robotics, autonomy, or real-world ML perception systems.
• Strong foundation in computer vision, SLAM, and multi-sensor fusion.
• Proficiency in Python and C++ with production-grade engineering practices.
• Experience with perception frameworks (ROS / ROS2, OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.).
• Willingness to operate in safe but extreme cold environments during R&D field testing.

Responsabilidades

• Design and deploy perception pipelines for Arctic autonomous platforms (surface, subsurface, aerial).
• Fuse multi-modal sensor data (vision, LiDAR, radar, IMU, GNSS) for situational awareness and autonomy.
• Build ML models for ice classification, terrain mapping, and obstacle detection in low-visibility conditions.
• Train, evaluate, and harden ML models against snow cover, ice glare, low sun angles, and polar night conditions.
• Create synthetic training data and simulation environments for Arctic-specific scenarios.
• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, RF, and autonomy teams to co-design sensor placement, calibration, and integration.
• Support field deployments in the Arctic and iterate rapidly based on real-world data.
