About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architect Multi-Modal Vision Systems: Design and train models that fuse 2D inputs with 3D geometry to solve complex grasping and scene understanding tasks.
Lead End-to-End Model Deployment: Own the transition from research to reality, including model graph optimization, quantization (TensorRT), and runtime integration.
Drive Technical Excellence: Conduct rigorous code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to the strategic perception roadmap.
Own the Data Strategy: Take ownership of existing labeled dataset and pipeline, identifying bottlenecks and improving data quality.
Ensure Production Reliability: Write high-performance production code (Python/C++) to integrate perception outputs into the broader robotic control stack, prioritizing safety and stability.
