Perception Engineer

Aquabyte•Pittsburgh, PA

1d•$115,000 - $150,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As a Perception Engineer you will help develop and deploy next-generation sensing capabilities to fish farms across the world. While our current product utilizes underwater cameras and computer vision to quantify fish health and growth, we are expanding our sensor suite to create a comprehensive understanding of the underwater environment.

Requirements

Educational Background: BS/MS in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a relevant technical degree
Experience: 3+ years of experience in perception or signal processing
Technical Proficiency: Strong coding ability with a mastery of Python and experience with SQL
Domain Expertise: Demonstrated experience with sensor fusion, state estimation, or 3D computer vision (e.g., SLAM, structure-from-motion, or point cloud processing)
Engineering Best Practices: Strong software engineering skills, including knowledge of testing, version control, and deployment pipelines.

Nice To Haves

Experience processing underwater acoustics or sonar data
Familiarity with cloud data infrastructure (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Airflow)
Experience with containerization (Docker) and cloud development (AWS).

Responsibilities

Signal Processing: Design and implement algorithms to process raw sensor data, correcting for environmental attenuation, noise, and physical constraints
Sensor Fusion & Calibration: Develop techniques to fuse multi-modal sensor streams and perform precise sensor calibration to ensure data alignment and accuracy across the hardware stack
3D Scene Reconstruction: Build pipelines that generate 3D representations of the environment from complex inputs
Feature Detection: Apply a combination of conventional and deep learning approaches to identify key features and objects within the sensor data
Production Engineering: Contribute to the production codebase, ensuring algorithms are scalable, robust, and well-tested in a primarily Python-based stack
