Job Level
About the role
- Deliver robust, thoroughly tested, and maintainable C++ code tailored for edge and robotics platforms.
- Design, implement, and take ownership of prototype perception systems with the potential to transition into production-grade solutions.
- Construct and iteratively refine real-time perception pipelines, encompassing detection, tracking, and sensor fusion methodologies.
- Adapt, refine, and integrate Machine Learning (ML) and Computer Vision (CV) models, including leveraging open-source solutions, for novel, Hayden-specific applications.
- Drive technical decision-making in ambiguous problem spaces, effectively balancing the speed required for prototyping with the requirements for production readiness.
- Collaborate closely with the Product team and cross-functional Engineering departments.
- Contribute to shared infrastructure, tooling, and architectural patterns as pilot initiatives mature into foundational products.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a closely related discipline. A PhD is considered advantageous.
- 5-8 years of relevant experience in building and deploying perception systems; experience in automotive or robotics domains is a plus.
- Substantial background in a minimum of one of the following domains: robotics, state estimation, computer vision, or applied machine learning.
- Senior-level industrial experience in the delivery of intricate, production-grade software systems.
- Demonstrated proficiency in modern C++, coupled with experience in real-time systems.
- Experience in the construction and ownership of end-to-end systems, rather than merely isolated components.
- Capability to operate effectively in ambiguous and rapidly evolving environments.
- Proven capacity to collaborate constructively within a developing engineering organization.
