Robotics Computer Vision Engineer SLAM on Real Robots

Pave Talent; Philadelphia (Philadelphia County); In loco; USD 140.000 - 190.000; Tempo pieno

Vantaggi offerti da questo lavoro

Annual bonus (avg 15%)

On-site in Philadelphia

Descrizione del lavoro

Pave Talent is recruiting on behalf of a venture-backed robotics company in Philadelphia for a senior to staff level perception/SLAM engineer. You will own perception components end-to-end, from SLAM to real-world deployment on robots, with a path to leadership or IC depth.

The role is on-site in Philadelphia five days a week, with an annual bonus and a strong emphasis on shipping robust perception software. You should be comfortable with live coding and production-grade robotics stacks.

Competenze

• A master's in robotics, computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field plus 2+ years of relevant experience, or a PhD. Equivalent industry experience counts; the team weighs what you built and shipped over where your degree is from
• Hands-on experience implementing SLAM or localization on a real system, not just in simulation
• Solid command of 3D geometry and coordinate transformations, camera models and calibration, feature-based or direct visual methods, and probabilistic state estimation
• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python. Expect a live C++ exercise in the process
• Linux environments and a robotics software stack such as Robot Operating System (ROS / ROS 2)
• At least 2 years in a complex physical product domain, robotics, automation, or aerospace, or equivalent research lab work on real hardware
• Permanent U.S. residency, and the ability to clear standard background checks before and during employment
• On-site in Philadelphia five days a week. There is no remote option for this role
• SLAM frameworks: ORB-SLAM, VINS, Cartographer, or GTSAM
• Lidar-based perception and mapping
• Deep learning perception models
• Perception deployed on real robots in the field
• Graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration with CUDA or OpenCL
• Dataset curation and annotation
• Publications in robotics or computer vision, paired with industry delivery experience

Mansioni

• Design and implement SLAM and localization systems, visual, visual-inertial, lidar, or multi-sensor
• Build computer vision pipelines for feature extraction, tracking, mapping, and scene understanding
• Implement and optimize estimation algorithms, both filtering and optimization-based
• Fuse data from cameras, inertial measurement units (IMUs), lidars, and depth sensors
• Evaluate perception performance against real-world field data and hard metrics
• Optimize for real-time performance and robustness on the robot's onboard compute
• Work with the controls and planning teams to support downstream autonomy
• Build out the tooling, datasets, and evaluation frameworks the team runs on
