Lead Perception Engineer: Robotics Vision Leader

Automated Tire, Inc.; Woburn (MA); Vor Ort; USD 140.000 - 220.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Automated Tire, Inc. seeks a Lead Perception Engineer to guide a team building robotic perception solutions that blend classical and ML methods. You will own end-to-end development from problem framing and sensor selection to software deployment and field validation.

You will design high-throughput, low-latency perception pipelines, mentor engineers, and collaborate with mechatronics, software, and QA teams to deliver production-ready solutions in real-world automotive service robotics.

Qualifikationen

• 8-10 years of professional software engineering experience in robotics, computer vision, or a closely related field.
• 2-3 years in a formal or informal leadership capacity (Team Lead, Tech Lead, or Mentor) with a track record of guiding technical projects.
• Strong robotics fundamentals: coordinate transforms, sensor calibration, perception pipeline design, system architecture.
• Hands-on, low-level debugging and systematic troubleshooting of complex robotic systems in real-world environments.
• Proficiency in Python, C++ and/or Rust with production-grade, well-tested code for autonomous systems.
• Experience designing, implementing, testing, and optimizing vision solutions for robotic or automation applications.
• Experience building ML pipelines and optimizing ML models; familiarity with PyTorch and CV libraries.
• Familiarity with depth sensing modalities (LiDAR, stereo, ToF) and sensor fusion.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a dynamic environment.

Aufgaben

• Lead a team of engineers through full development lifecycle from concept to field deployment and maintenance.
• Integrate classical and ML image processing for classification, depth sensing, and 3D Reconstruction.
• Select sensors (LIDARs, ToF cameras, stereo vision) for various applications.
• Create AI/ML models to enhance detection, classification, and tracking.
• Develop high-throughput perception pipelines with low latency for real-time operation.
• Hands-on debugging on the shop floor or field for hardware-in-the-loop failures.
• Maintain code quality, reviews, architecture, and mentoring of junior engineers.
• Collaborate with mechanical, systems, mechatronics, software and QA teams to align with product goals.
