Senior Computer Vision Engineer

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.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
