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
