Robotics Vision Engineer: Grounding Language & Perception

ndimensions labs; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 130,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Ndimensions is building the infrastructure for next-generation robotics AI systems, and seeks a Robotics Perception Engineer to own the perception layer. The role sits between AI and navigation teams, tackling vision problems to verify object grounding, language grounding to pixels, and real-time on-robot inference on embedded GPUs.

It is a hands-on role on real hardware in real homes. You will work with Python and C++ in ROS2, calibrate cameras, build semantic maps, and support ground-truth

Qualifications

• Strong background in computer vision for robotics.
• Experience grounding language to pixels.
• Experience with depth sensing and 3D scene representations.
• Experience deploying detection/segmentation models on embedded GPUs.

Responsibilities

• Bridge language and pixels to verify the grasped object matches the instruction.
• Ground language in the scene to produce a pick target or navigation goal.
• Build a persistent, object-level map that can be queried by language.
• Classify dynamic vs static elements to indicate trustworthy map regions.
• Evaluate and deploy perception models with real-time latency constraints on embedded GPUs.
• Calibrate cameras and manage depth/localization accuracy.
