Data Engineer (Perception)

Location:

Onsite, Wallingford, Oxfordshire
Job Type: Contract/Permanent, Full-time

As a child, did you ever dream of building robots? We did.

At Dexory, we're developing advanced software powered by cutting-edge robots that are transforming the very face of global logistics. With infectious enthusiasm, our unique blend of disciplines work in harmony to produce results m hardware and manufacturing to software, AI and commercial, we're one team - one heart - that beats, learns and grows together.

We're only interested in the best ideas, no matter where they're from. We're doers. Game-changers. Out-of-the-box thinkers who put merit before all else. A group of ambitious and disciplined individuals who are passionate about turning theory into rubber, metal and results. Only with immense heat and pressure are diamonds formed, and our high-performance, high-reward culture isnʼt for everyone. We bend the rules.

We say it as it is. We donʼt quit. We keep ego and bureaucracy in check to help our operation stay agile and performing at its peak. We're a place where careers are defined, and we'll give you all the tools youʼll need to make your mark.

This opportunity doesnʼt present itself everyday. This is your chance to be a part of something truly revolutionary. The foundations for success have been laid, but we're only just getting started. Are you ready for the fight?

We value the right attitude, humility and we're as interested in your character as we are in your talent. Please apply, even if you feel you only meet part of our listed criteria. Diversity drives innovation and we offer an international and friendly work environment with an energetic company culture.

As a Data Engineer (Perception) you will help our team handle large volumes of images used in perception and computer-vision workflows. The focus of this role is practical: simplify data handling, automate repetitive tasks and support the team with reliable tools, not introduce complexity. You will play a key role in building and maintaining lightweight data pipelines for moving, cleaning and organising large sets of images.

You’ll automate repetitive or manual processes related to dataset preparation, quality checks and annotation workflows. You’ll develop Python utilities to help the team quickly filter, keep or discard images based on quality or other criteria. We’re still an early-stage company with a technically complex system, so we’re looking for a motivated individual who can help move the product forward. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate with other highly technical teams, and take an open-minded approach to problem solving are essential.

• 6+ years of experience shipping software products
• Strong Python programming skills
• Solid experience with Pandas for data manipulation
• Experience working with large image sets
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and team working skills

• Familiarity with simple image-quality heuristics or pre-processing steps
• Experience with AWS
• Experience with OpenCV for basic image processing

• Building a data processing pipeline to capture frames from multiple 3D LiDAR scanners and reconstruct a 3D environment for analysis.
• Designing and developing a system to collect images from multiple cameras and aggregate them into one cohesive image in real-time.
• Building a system to run real-time machine vision algorithms and ML models over high-resolution camera images.

Starting from the interview process and continuing into your career with us, you will be working by our four Operating Principles:
