Senior AI/ML Engineer - Robotics & Drones

Our requirements

• PhD or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, any other related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven experience in building scalable AI/ML development pipelines.
• Strong proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with ML/DL and perception libraries such as PyTorch, PyTorch Lightning, scikit-learn, OpenCV, NumPy, Pandas, or similar.
• Strong theoretical and practical understanding of sensors and their modalities (camera, radar, LiDAR), sensor fusion, and environment models.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to explain complex localization perception to cross-functional audiences.

Optional

• Experience with perception systems in industrial environments (warehousing, logistics, manufacturing).
• Knowledge of functional safety standards for mobile robotics.
• Experience with continuous improvement and optimization of AI/ML perception models.
• Proficiency with ML platforms and experiment management tools (e.g., MLflow, SageMaker, Databricks, DVC).
• Experience with embedded and heterogeneous computing platforms (NVIDIA, Qualcomm, TI, Renesas).
• Hands-on experience with ROS / ROS 2.
• Experience in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments.
• Strong background in AI/ML debugging, dataset management, and model training.

Your responsibilities

• Define and develop AI/ML perception algorithms for multiple sensors (Camera, Radar) and multiple tasks (object detection, segmentation, environment modelling).
• Develop multi-sensor fusion algorithms to provide accurate, robust perception in various challenging environments.
• Establish best practices for perception robustness and AI/ML perception systems that support safety requirements and predictable failure behavior.
• Shape perception validation strategies, regression testing, and performance benchmarking based on simulation data and real word data.
• Translate customer and operational requirements into perception performance targets, AI/ML algorithm decisions, and data requirements.
• Evaluate and integrate open-source perception frameworks and third-party SDKs, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and license compliance.
• Support PoCs, demos, and early deployments by guiding perception setup, tuning, and debugging in real environments.
