Mechatronics Engineer – Hardware / Robotics

Location: Turin, Italy Full-Time Salary Range: €50,000 - €70,000

Join ORiS and help build the future of energy in space.

At ORiS, we are building the technologies that will power the next generation of space missions. Through laser-based wireless power transmission, we aim to overcome the energy limitations of today's satellites and enable longer, more capable, and more resilient operations in orbit.

As a Senior Robotics Engineer specializing in Computer Vision and Tracking, you will own the technical development of perception and estimation solutions for ORiS systems that detect, identify, and track satellites, drones, and other targets in real time.

You will define robust solutions across computer vision, image processing, robotics, state estimation, and machine learning, and ensure that target information, line-of-sight estimates, confidence, and tracking status meet system-level pointing requirements for ORiS laser transmission platforms and LOONA.

You will report to the Software Team Leader and Software Architect, provide technical guidance to other engineers, and collaborate with Control Systems, Embedded Software, Optical, Electronics, and Systems Engineering.

What You Will Do

Own the architecture and technical roadmap for detection, estimation, tracking, and reacquisition.

Lead algorithm design for difficult conditions including noise, changing illumination, partial visibility, low SNR, motion, and target loss.

Define datasets, synthetic imagery, simulation scenarios, validation methods, and performance KPIs.

Lead integration with optical sensors, pointing systems, control software, and embedded platforms.

Drive real-time optimization on CPUs, GPUs, edge computers, and embedded targets.

Lead calibration, laboratory testing, field trials, replay, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop validation.

Analyse system-level performance, resolve complex estimation and integration issues, and communicate technical trade-offs.

Mentor engineers and maintain high-quality software, models, procedures, and documentation.

What We Are Looking For

MSc or PhD in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field.

5+ years of relevant professional experience in computer vision, perception, tracking, or state estimation.

Expert Python and C++ skills, with strong Linux, Git, testing, and production-development practices.

Strong knowledge of camera calibration, projective geometry, coordinate transformations, 3D geometry, and uncertainty.

Demonstrated ownership of algorithms deployed on real systems and ability to lead technical decisions.

Strong analytical, communication, mentoring, and problem-solving skills; professional proficiency in English.

Nice to Have

Deep learning, sensor fusion, Kalman or particle filtering, orbital mechanics, attitude estimation, or spacecraft pointing.

Satellite imagery, spaceborne optical systems, optical communications, or Space Situational Awareness.

YOLO, DETR, U-Net, CUDA, TensorRT, ONNX, ROS/ROS2, domain randomization, or embedded deployment.
