Job summary

Rivet Industries is building perception software to fuse camera data with IMU streams for SLAM and Visual-Inertial Odometry on edge devices. We seek an experienced engineer to craft real-time algorithms, manage uncertainty, and deliver robust perception stacks for challenging environments.

The role emphasizes collaboration with hardware and software teams, evaluating against benchmarks, and delivering production-ready systems with scalable performance.

Qualifications

• BS with 10+ years of academic or industry experience in inertial sensing, computer vision, robotics or related fields with shipped or published work (or MS with 8+ yrs of the above)
• Strong background in linear algebra, SLAM, VIO and structure-from-motion
• Proficient in C++/Python with experience in real-time optimization
• Familiar with libraries such as OpenCV, Ceres etc.
• Knowledge of sensor modelling, calibration and noise characteristics
• Experience with real-time processing pipelines on embedded or edge hardware','Familiarity with probabilistic estimation, filtering (e.g. EKF/ factor-graph optimization)
• Preferred track record of applied research in robotics or AR/VR

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize sensor fusion algorithms combining IMU and camera data for SLAM and VIO
• Implement state of the art structure-from-motion techniques using different sensor modalities to generate 3D reconstructions
• Build Calibration and sync pipelines across multiple sensor types
• Evaluate algos against public benchmarks and real-world datasets
• Integrate outputs into higher-level autonomy or mapping systems
• Collaborate with HW, robotics and platform teams to ensure end-to-end performance
• Define metrics, testing frameworks and deployment strategies for production-ready perception systems
