💼 About This Role

You'll design, integrate, and validate sensor systems for autonomous robots in real-world environments. You'll work across hardware and software teams to ensure accurate, time-synchronized data from LiDARs, cameras, IMUs, and GPS. This role offers the chance to shape systems from prototype to production at a fast-moving robotics company.

🎯 What You'll Do

  • Define sensing requirements and select LiDARs, depth cameras, GPS, IMUs, ToF sensors.
  • Integrate sensors with electrical, mechanical, and software systems for power and protocol compatibility.
  • Implement synchronization strategies and validate temporal/spatial performance.
  • Design and execute intrinsic/extrinsic calibrations and sensor characterization.

📋 Requirements

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • Hands-on experience with LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, or GPS.
  • Experience with communication protocols such as USB, Ethernet, GMSL, CAN, or I2C.
  • Experience working with ROS/ROS2, sensor drivers, and coordinate transforms (TF).

✨ Nice to Have

  • Experience taking systems from prototype to large scale production.
  • Experience developing systems for harsh field environments.
  • Knowledge of autonomy stacks and how sensor performance impacts algorithms.

🎁 Benefits & Perks

  • 🚀 Work on cutting-edge robotics deployed globally in real-world environments.
  • 💡 Collaborate across hardware and software teams in a fast-moving startup.
  • 🛠️ Access to advanced lab equipment for testing and calibration.
  • 📈 Opportunity for growth as the team scales from prototype to production.
