Responsibilities

  • Design and scale SLAM pipelines for accurate localisation and state estimation in dynamic physical spaces.
  • Integrate foundation geometry models and modern machine learning into localisation, data association, and visual odometry systems.
  • Architect and maintain long-term mapping systems that update and scale spatial maps across changing environments.
  • Build auto-labeling data pipelines that generate spatial ground truth for downstream machine learning training.
  • Develop hybrid classical-geometry and deep-learning systems that produce globally consistent metric trajectories.
  • Deploy and benchmark spatial AI software on physical robot hardware under deterministic, low-latency edge-compute constraints.
  • Evaluate geometric learning research and translate promising techniques into reliable production navigation systems.

Requirements

  • Deep hands-on expertise in classical SLAM and multi-view geometry, including state estimation, visual or LiDAR odometry, and multi-sensor fusion.
  • Experience with backend map optimization and long-term mapping in large or changing physical environments.
  • Practical experience applying modern machine learning to geometric problems and utilizing or adapting foundation geometry models.
  • Experience building scalable data pipelines or auto-labeling workflows for geometric and spatial datasets.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python, including clean, highly parallelized, production-grade algorithmic code.
  • Hands-on experience deploying navigation systems on physical hardware and understanding real-world robotics edge constraints.
  • Ability to evaluate current CVPR and ICRA research and make models reliable in production.

Benefits

  • Stock options with meaningful upside as the company scales.
  • 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days.
  • Private healthcare with virtual and in-person care.
  • Pension scheme with an 8% total contribution on full earnings.
  • Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in the office.
  • Opportunity to work with engineers, researchers, and product experts on humanoid robotics and AI.
  • Meaningful ownership, direct access to founding leadership, and input into product direction from day one.
