Senior ML Engineer, Computer Vision
About The Position
Berkshire Grey is a leader in the field of AI and robotics, providing innovative solutions for e-commerce, retail replenishment, and logistics. Our technology automates complex pick, pack, sort, and unload operations. As part of the Scoop engineering team, you will develop new approaches to solving challenging trailer-unload computer vision problems for real-world robotic systems. Your work will help robots better perceive, reason about, and interact with dynamic trailer environments, including varied package types, shifting walls, confined spaces, and complex unload conditions. These efforts will enhance the performance, reliability, and throughput of our robotic unloading solutions while unlocking new value for customers. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the cutting edge of robotics applied to one of the most demanding real-world logistics challenges.
