As a Perception Engineer in our company, your role will primarily revolve around the design, development, and optimization of advanced real-time perception components for our autonomous robotics systems, with an emphasis on handling point cloud data from Lidars. Leveraging your knowledge of the Robot Operating System (ROS), you will also be tasked with the integration of the perception software and interfacing it with the rest of the system.
Responsibilities
- Development, optimization and maintenance of perception algorithms for our products using ROS2, focusing on, but not limited to, LiDAR data processing.
- Integration of perception components into the system and maintenance of the interfaces.
- Establishment of testing procedures to ensure the stability, functionality, and performance of the perception components.
- Troubleshooting perception-related technical issues in our systems, proposing and implementing effective solutions to them.
- Continuous enhancement of the performance, efficiency, and scalability of the perception algorithms and components.
- Close collaboration with fellow perception engineers and other teams to ensure seamless integration of perception components into the automation software.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s, Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related field. Candidates without a degree must have significant software development experience.
- 2+ Years of experience as a Software Engineer in a collaborative environment.
- Experience using ROS2 or ROS and a good understanding of its capabilities.
- Proficiency with C++ or Python, experience of work in a large codebase.
- Strong understanding of software versioning and working knowledge of Git.
- Experience with perception algorithms development, particularly for point cloud data processing, using libraries such as OpenCV, Open3D, and PCL.
- Excellent communication skills, with a proven ability to work in dynamic environments.
