These efforts will enhance the performance, reliability, and throughput of our robotic unloading solutions while unlocking new value for customers. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the cutting edge of robotics applied to one of the most demanding real-world logistics challenges.
Responsibilities:
- Develop solution prototypes for computer vision problems, to improve our robots’ ability to solve increasingly complex tasks at unprecedented speeds
- Quickly prototype solutions, creating demos for stakeholders and visitors
- Serve as subject matter for transitioning prototypes to product teams
- Identify high impact areas for improvements of our robotic systems to solve real problems
- Stay abreast of the latest advancements in robotics and related fields, evaluating applicability to our challenges
- Assist with mentorship of more junior engineers or interns
- Communicate technical priorities and status.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Master’s degree in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computer Science or a closely related field.
- 4+ years of experience in software development with a focus on robotic manipulation or related areas.
- Strong development expertise in Python and C++.
- Experience with major deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
- Experience with data science tools & libraries like numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib, scikit-learn
- Demonstrated experience training and adapting of existing machine learning architectures for computer vision, such as CNNs/ViTs or VLMs, to solve tasks such as grasp estimation, object detection/segmentation, depth estimation, or anomaly/outlier detection
- Demonstrated proficiency to solve real world computer vision problems with machine learning
- Demonstrated ability to:
- Develop on and troubleshoot real robotic systems
- Determine and communicate justification of technical priorities
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on solutions to challenging problems
- Work independently on a variety of projects while maintaining focus
- Work in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities
- Mentor junior engineers
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, capable of explaining complex ideas clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Provide technical leadership on key projects
Preferred Qualifications:
- MS / PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computer Science or a closely related field.
- Demonstrated technical proficiency in computer vision applied to robotic manipulation, such as grasp estimation or long-tailed object detection & segmentation in clutter
- Experience with:
- Robotic vision sensors and camera to robot calibration
- Both RGB and depth data
- Collecting and training on real and synthetic datasets, including various forms of data augmentation
- Applying machine learning to hardware interacting with the real world
- Real-time perception-based control
- Robot simulators (e.g. Isaac Sim)
- Combining model-based and data-driven approaches
- Docker, cloud computing, or similar applications
- Experiment tracking and dataset management (e.g. Weights & Biases)
- Database systems as data source, such as MongoDB
- Parallel/distributed systems and asynchronous/concurrent programming
- ROS or ROS2
Possessing some of these preferred qualifications is great to have but not required and should not discourage applicants from applying.
