Senior Robotics Engineer (Perception)
About The Position
Treeswift empowers energy companies to modernize their field work to meet the growth and challenges ahead by building physical AI for the field worker. Their technology, powered by cutting-edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc.), AI, and software, revolutionizes work in tough environments, enabling customers to reduce wildfire risk, vegetation-related risks, avoid delays in new construction, and accelerate storm recovery. The company is growing rapidly and is seeking mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics and enterprise software development. They are looking for curious and ambitious individuals who want to make a real-world impact. As a senior robotics engineer, you will drive outcomes across perception, mapping, sensor fusion, and calibration. Initial priorities include improving product quality and consistency in diverse operating conditions, leading SLAM development (including new sensor evolutions and performance in GPS-degraded environments), accelerating time to delivery by enhancing sensor fusion and calibration (fusing multi-user, multi-session point cloud maps, automating LiDAR and imagery alignment), and improving power scalability and reliability by eliminating the need for extrinsic measurements and enhancing data quality issue detection in the field.
Requirements
- 5-10 years of experience in perception for robotics
- Comfortable in a fast-pace and high-ownership environment.
- Proficient in C++ and Python
- Extensive experience developing SLAM solutions, ideally involving ground-based LiDAR
- Experience with extrinsic and intrinsic sensor calibration, including automated data-driven calibration
Nice To Haves
- Prior experience with ultra-wide angle cameras
Responsibilities
- Improving the quality and consistency of our product in an increasing breadth of operating conditions.
- Leading SLAM development including incorporating new sensor evolutions and exploring innovative approaches to improving performance in GPS degraded environments.
- Accelerating our time to delivery by leveling up our sensor fusion and calibration.
- Fusing multi-user, multi-session point cloud maps and automating alignment of LiDAR and imagery data to produce consistent large-scale scenes.
- Power scalability and reliability by eliminating the need for extrinsic measurements on our vehicle sensors in the field and improving our ability to catch and correct potential data quality issues at their source.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your eligible dependents
- Life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage
