Senior Perception Engineer

A fast-growing robotics company is developing autonomous robotic systems for demanding, real-world industrial environments. Its focus is on deploying reliable, high-performance solutions that address complex operational challenges beyond proof-of-concept demonstrations.

The company is seeking an experienced Senior Robotics Engineer specialising in perception and sensor fusion to advance its autonomous capabilities from prototype through to production deployment.

• Detect and estimate 6-DoF poses and 3D dimensions of rigid objects under occlusion and challenging lighting conditions.

• Integrate and synchronise multi-modal sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, IMUs and other ranging sensors.
• Develop and implement intrinsic and extrinsic calibration techniques, including hand-eye calibration and LiDAR-camera alignment.

• Implement lightweight localisation methods, such as point-cloud registration, marker-based localisation and feature-map alignment, within constrained or repetitive environments.

• 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception and sensor fusion, including at least 2 years in a senior or lead role.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.

• Proficiency in modern C++, Python and ROS 1 or ROS 2.
• Hands-on experience with industrial 3D cameras, LiDAR, IMUs and synchronised multi-sensor data acquisition.
• Strong understanding of multi-sensor calibration techniques, including hand-eye calibration and LiDAR-camera extrinsics.
• Experience with both deep-learning-based detection methods, such as YOLO and Mask R-CNN, and classical computer vision techniques, including feature matching, PnP and RANSAC.
• Proficiency with OpenCV, PCL and Open3D for real-time image and point-cloud processing.

• Strong problem-solving skills and a data-driven approach to decision‑making.
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to cross‑functional teams.

• Exposure to lightweight SLAM or marker-based mapping approaches, including April Tags and ArUco.
• Experience with cloud-based monitoring and logging platforms for robotics systems.

• Competitive salary and equity opportunities.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental and vision coverage, retirement contributions and wellbeing support.
• Opportunities for ongoing technical development and education.
• Flexible working hours.
• Collaborative working environment with additional office amenities.
• A high-impact role with the opportunity to influence the development and deployment of advanced robotic systems.
• Career development opportunities within a growing, technically ambitious team.
