Job summary

5V Tech in the United States is seeking a Senior Perception Engineer to help machines see and understand the world across agriculture, construction and beyond.

You will develop, train and refine computer vision algorithms for real machines, work with camera, LiDAR and radar data, and deploy on edge platforms using modern C++ and ML frameworks. ROS middleware will be a key integration layer and you will deliver production-quality code at scale.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in perception or computer vision engineering.
• Hands-on segmentation, classification, stereo vision and point cloud experience.
• Strong modern C++ and applied ML (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
• Experience with camera, LiDAR or radar data.
• ROS or similar robotics middleware experience.

Responsibilities

• Develop, train and refine computer vision algorithms in house for real machines.
• Work with stereo vision and point cloud data.
• Build on a ROS-like robotics middleware.
• Write production C++ for real-time, embedded and edge platforms.

Job description

Want your perception work running on real machines in real fields, not just in simulation?

Looking for a Senior Perception Engineer to help machines see and understand the world around them, across agriculture, construction and beyond.

The details

• US work authorisation required (no visa sponsorship)

What you’ll do

• Develop, train and refine computer vision algorithms in house, from segmentation and classification to deployment on real machines
• Work with stereo vision and point cloud data
• Build on a ROS-like robotics middleware
• Write production C++ for real-time, embedded and edge platforms
• Debug perception issues using logs and sensor data, and drive them to root cause

What you’ll bring

• Ideally 5+ years in perception or computer vision engineering
• Hands-on segmentation, classification, stereo vision and point cloud experience
• Strong modern C++ and applied ML (PyTorch or TensorFlow)
• Experience with camera, LiDAR or radar data
• ROS or similar robotics middleware experience
• Bonus: autonomy work at a large OEM, or off-highway, agriculture or mining experience

The work sells itself: real autonomy, on real machines, at serious scale.
