Mechanical Camera & Sensor Calibration Engineer

Mecka • New York, NY

2d

About The Position

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.

We're hiring a Mechanical Camera & Sensor Calibration Engineer to own Mecka's entire calibration pipeline: camera intrinsics to IMU alignment to factory calibration infrastructure.
This is a hands-on, deeply practical role. You'll work directly with cameras, IMUs, and multi-sensor rigs to ensure our capture systems produce accurate, reliable data at scale.
Your immediate task: deliver production-quality calibration values. From there, you'll take full ownership of calibration pipeline process across Mecka's hardware fleet.

Requirements

• Practical, hands-on experience with camera calibration (intrinsics, extrinsics, stereo, multi-camera rigs)
• Practical experience with IMU calibration and tuning (bias estimation, alignment, noise characterization)
• Understanding of sensor fusion fundamentals and how calibration quality affects downstream performance
• Experience building calibration tooling and infrastructure for production environments
• Extremely detail-oriented and methodical
• Comfortable working with physical hardware — not just software
• Able to design repeatable, scalable calibration processes
• A strong debugger who can trace data quality issues back to root causes

Nice To Haves

• Experience in a manufacturing or hardware deployment environment with calibration at scale
• Familiarity with OpenCV, Kalibr, or similar calibration frameworks
• Experience with multi-sensor calibration (camera-IMU, etc.)
• Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or AR/VR hardware calibration
• Experience with factory/production line calibration processes
• Knowledge of uncertainty quantification and error analysis

Responsibilities

• Deliver accurate IMU and Camera calibration values (intrinsic and extrinsic) for production systems
• Assess and improve current calibration workflows
• Own the entire calibration pipeline — camera intrinsics/extrinsics, IMU calibration, multi-sensor alignment
• Ensure factory calibration is performed properly, consistently, and on schedule
• Build and maintain calibration infrastructure — tooling, fixtures, validation scripts, and documentation
• Develop automated calibration verification and quality assurance systems
• Work with hardware and embedded teams to ensure sensor mounting and alignment meet calibration requirements
• Debug and resolve calibration-related issues across deployed systems
