Well-funded startup building industrial AI robots for factory and warehouse automation

Robotics Perception Engineer

BostonOn-site$140K - $200K2 - 5 years
You'll spend your days making machines actually see. This role centers on designing and deploying perception systems that let robotic arms identify, locate, and manipulate objects in chaotic real-world environments—think cluttered bins, shifting conveyor belts, and reflective surfaces under poor lighting. One morning you might be tuning a point-cloud segmentation pipeline; the next, you're debugging why a depth-camera mount keeps drifting in thermal expansion. The codebase spans embedded C++ on the hardware side and Python tooling for rapid algorithm iteration.

What we're looking for

  • 2-5 years shipping perception or computer-vision code for physical systems, not just Kaggle models
  • Strong C++ fundamentals plus fluent Python for prototyping and data analysis
  • Hands-on experience with 3D vision: depth sensors, point clouds, mesh processing, or geometric reconstructions
  • Comfort working beside hardware— occasional troubleshooting on the factory floor is expected
  • Clear written communication; you'll document algorithms for teammates across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines
  • Must be based in the United States.
