We are seeking aPerception Leadto head our Perception team, responsible for developing and optimizing the computer vision and sensor fusion systems that enable our humanoid robots to perceive and understand their environment. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in machine learning, computer vision, and sensor technologies, with a strong background in object detection, semantic segmentation, and sensor fusion. This person will work closely with the Navigation, Reasoning, and Locomotion leads to ensure the robot’s perception capabilities are seamlessly integrated into the overall system architecture

Responsibilities
  • Lead the design, implementation, and optimization of computer vision algorithms for object detection, semantic segmentation, and 3D scene understanding in dynamic environments.
  • Develop and refine sensor fusion techniques to combine data from cameras, LIDAR, RADAR, IMUs, and other sensors to create a robust and accurate perception system.
  • Integrate perception algorithms with the robot’s navigation and reasoning systems to enable real-time decision-making and autonomous behavior.
  • Oversee and improve sensor calibration processes to ensure precise alignment and synchronization of multi-sensor data.
  • Design and implement object recognition and localization algorithms to enable the robot to identify and interact with objects in its environment accurately.
  • Collaborate closely with the Reasoning, Navigation and Locomotion teams to align perception strategies with the robot's movement and environmental interaction requirements.
  • Evaluate and improve existing perception solutions based on real-world deployment feedback and data, ensuring reliable performance in varied operational conditions.
  • Ensure seamless integration of perception components within the robot's software architecture, including working with frameworks such as ROS.
  • Mentor and guide team members, fostering a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.

Expertise
  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Extensive experience in machine learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion technologies.
  • Proven track record in developing algorithms for object detection, semantic segmentation, and 3D scene understanding.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or C++, with strong experience in machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  • Strong experience with ROS and its application in perception systems for robotics.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical teams and manage complex projects.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a demonstrated ability to work effectively across interdisciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with perception systems for humanoid robots or other complex robotic platforms.
  • A strong publication record in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, or robotic perception.
  • Passion for robotics and a drive to push the boundaries of what is possible.
  • Familiarity with real-time perception system optimization and the integration of AI-based models for enhanced sensor fusion and scene understanding.

Benefits
  • High competitive salary.
  • 23 calendar days of vacation per year.
  • Flexible working hours.
  • Opportunity to work on the latest technologies in AI/ML, Robotics and others.
  • Startup model, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.
