Robotics Engineer

We are looking for a Robotics Engineer to build custom capture rigs and test open source libraries for SLAM, VPS, Meshing, and Splats. Offer includes competitive compensation + equity.

‍

Responsibilities:

• Develop and deploy real-time SLAM pipelines (e.g., ORB-SLAM, RTAB-Map, LIO-SAM).
• Read and integrate state of the art research on reconstruction techniques and work closely with our engineering team to productionize systems.
• Integrate stereo/depth cameras, IMUs, and LiDAR into wearable or mobile mapping rigs.
• Build systems for bringing captured data into a VPS, Mesh, and Splat pipelines.

Required Qualifications:

• 1–5 years of experience in robotics, autonomy, or applied computer vision.
• Ambitious, startup mindset with a strong sense of autonomy and independence.
• Have familiarity with either Python or C++.
• Know your way around ROS/ROS2, OpenCV, and tools like Open3D, GTSAM, Kalibr, PyTorch, and NumPy.
• Have worked with depth cameras like OAK-D, RealSense, ZED, or Orbbec.
• Are comfortable debugging on embedded systems (Jetson, NUC, or similar).
• Prefer building deployable systems over chasing benchmark scores.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Comfortable using AI assisted tools (Cursor, Windsurf, etc).
• Familiarity with neural rendering (Gaussian splats, NeRFs, SplatFusion).
• Experience in AR, XR, or spatial computing.
• Comfortable with Unity or Unreal engine integration.
• Understanding of VPS (Visual Positioning Systems) or relocalization.
• Basic PCB design, breadboarding, and soldering skills.
