Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a Robotics Algorithm Engineer passionate about building next-generation robot perception and mapping systems. You will work on vision-based localization, 3D reconstruction, and spatial understanding, enabling robots to perceive, navigate, and interact intelligently with the real world.

You will join a worldclass team of roboticists, computer vision scientists, and AI researchers developing embodied AI datasets, algorithms, and systems that bridge the gap between human and robot perception.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement visual SLAM, multisensor fusion, and structurefrommotion (SfM) pipelines for mobile robots or humancentric perception rigs.
• Develop algorithms for 3D reconstruction, dense mapping, and scene understanding from multiview or egocentric visual data.
• Integrate and optimize perception algorithms on real robotic platforms (mobile bases, manipulators, or human motion rigs).
• Conduct research and prototyping in areas such as NeRFbased mapping, learningbased SLAM, pose graph optimization, or multiview geometry.
• Collaborate with the data and platform teams to improve dataset quality, sensor calibration, and largescale evaluation pipelines.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• Strong experience with visual SLAM, VO/VIO, 3D reconstruction, or multiview geometry.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python, and familiarity with ROS / ROS2.
• Solid understanding of camera models, sensor fusion (IMU, LiDAR, depth), and optimization frameworks (Ceres, GTSAM, g2o).
• Experience with datasets such as KITTI, TUM, EuRoC, Replica, or similar.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills, capable of bringing research ideas to working systems.

Preferred / Bonus Skills

• Experience in autonomous driving, robotics research, or embodied AI datasets.
• Familiarity with learningbased SLAM or differentiable mapping networks.
• Handson experience with multicamera calibration, stereo depth, or 3D reconstruction from RGBD / stereo / NeRF.
• Publications in top venues (ICRA, CVPR, CoRL, RSS, ICCV, NeurIPS, etc.) are a plus.
• Exposure to GPU acceleration, simulation environments (MuJoCo, Isaac, Genesis, etc.), or robot hardware integration.
