Please double check you have the right level of experience and qualifications by reading the full overview of this opportunity below.
This role will require substantial travel to different customers' sites and warehouses.
About the companyWe're supporting a seed-stage warehouse robotics startup. Their software is already running in large enterprise operations. Now they're building the AI that lets each robot recognize products and handle them on its own. The founders have built and scaled robotics teams before.
The roleThis is a founding engineering role. You'll lead perception and robot learning and make the key technical decisions. There's no large legacy codebase, so you'll design the approach yourself and build it with the founding team. Success means models that work reliably on live warehouse floors.
What you'll ownPerception: 3D scene understanding with depth cameras and point clouds, object pose estimation, and identifying new products without retrainingRobot learning: Training and fine-tuning vision-language-action models, using simulation and synthetic dataDeployment: Running models on real robots within tight speed and compute limits, and feeding real-world mistakes back into trainingData: Teleoperation, data collection, and the pipeline that turns raw recordings into clean training data
Why it's worth a lookYou'll set the technical direction for perception and learningYour models get tested in real customer operations within monthsA small team that makes decisions quicklyYour scope grows with every new robot, task and customerFounding equity
What you'll bring3 to 5 years of hands-on work in robotics, computer xzbcwsv vision or ML, ideally on physical robotsExperience training models on GPUs and deploying them where speed matters3D perception experience with point clouds and depth camerasExperience with real robot hardware and simulation (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim or similar)Strong Python, plus C++ or another systems languageYou like getting prototypes working quickly
Nice to haveTraining manipulation or vision-language-action policiesZero-shot pose estimation or segmentationGrasp planningWarehouse or logistics automation experience
