Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize hand and full-body human pose estimation systems for teleoperation and motion-capture annotation.
  • Develop camera calibration, hand-eye calibration, visual SLAM, scene reconstruction, and temporal sensor-alignment pipelines.
  • Train and evaluate object detection, instance segmentation, and 6DoF pose-estimation models.
  • Optimize real-time perception inference with TensorRT and CUDA on embedded robot platforms, including custom CUDA kernels.
  • Build automated annotation and Auto QA pipelines that convert sensor data into training labels and filter low-quality data.
  • Collaborate with ML engineering and data infrastructure teams to connect perception outputs with downstream VLA model training.
  • Establish feedback mechanisms linking perception accuracy, data quality, and model-training outcomes.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of industry experience in robot perception or computer vision.
  • Strong 3D vision fundamentals, including stereo cameras, structured-light cameras, and 3D reconstruction.
  • Proficiency with SLAM frameworks such as ORB-SLAM, VINS-Mono, and FastLIO, or equivalent V-SLAM development experience.
  • Hands-on human pose-estimation experience using hand-joint or full-body pose methods such as MediaPipe, MANO, OpenPose, or SMPLify.
  • Proficiency with deep learning training frameworks for perception model training, tuning, and evaluation.
  • Experience deploying TensorRT models and optimizing real-time inference on embedded platforms such as Jetson or Horizon.
  • CUDA programming fundamentals and ability to write or debug custom kernels.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python with ROS or ROS2 development experience.
  • Proficiency with AI coding agents.
  • Experience with 6DoF object pose estimation, 3D Gaussian Splatting, NeRF, robot manipulation or teleoperation, automated annotation pipelines, or ground-truth generation is preferred.
  • Published research in perception, pose estimation, or robotics is preferred.

Benefits

  • Direct involvement in producing high-quality robot training data for embodied intelligence.
  • Work alongside robotics engineers and machine-learning researchers.
  • Access to proprietary hardware platforms including humanoid robots, camera arrays, and data gloves.
  • Fast-paced, high-autonomy 0→1 work environment.
