Base Salary
$100k - $300k/yr
Responsibilities
- Define technical approaches and success criteria for ambiguous perception problems in robot manipulation.
- Build and integrate detection, segmentation, tracking, object pose estimation, and 3D scene-understanding capabilities.
- Own camera calibration, coordinate transforms, synchronization assumptions, and sensor-quality checks.
- Create reproducible datasets and evaluations across changes in objects, lighting, viewpoint, and occlusion while preventing evaluation leakage.
- Select and adapt geometric methods and learned models based on accuracy, latency, robustness, and operational constraints.
- Deploy and maintain perception systems in the robot stack and diagnose failures using recorded data and physical experiments.
- Improve evaluation tools and documentation, participate in design reviews, and mentor colleagues in computer vision.
Requirements
- Demonstrated independent ownership of a substantial computer-vision system from an ambiguous problem through tested integration.
- Strong Python engineering skills and experience writing maintainable code, tests, and reproducible experiments.
- Practical command of camera models, calibration, coordinate frames, and 3D geometry.
- Experience with geometric vision or learned visual models and the judgment to choose between them appropriately.
- Ability to build representative evaluations, isolate failure modes, and distinguish model improvements from data or measurement artifacts.
- Ability to communicate technical tradeoffs and resolve interfaces with engineers in other disciplines.
Benefits
- The role offers direct impact on physical robotic systems and close collaboration across research, software, mechanical, and electrical engineering.
- Tutor’s R&D organization uses the Member of Technical Staff title, with level determined through the interview process.
- The work environment emphasizes technical ownership, collaboration, flexibility, and evolving responsibilities based on team needs.
