• Work on SLAM, sensor calibration (intrinsic/extrinsic), and multi-sensor data pipelines
• Collaborate with hardware and ML teams to take systems from prototype to deployed product

What we're looking for:

• Strong hands-on experience with ROS/ROS2 and C++ in production or research robotics
• Background in perception, SLAM, sensor fusion, or calibration
• Comfort working across the stack - from low-level drivers to high-level autonomy
• A builder's mindset: solving problems in the real world, not just simulation
• 5-10 years of experience in robotics for perception
Competitive salary + benefits
• Work on cutting-edge robotics with tangible impact
• Small, high-caliber team
• Culture that values ownership and curiosity
