We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.

🎯 The Role

You'll put advanced computer vision into the hardware that captures experience for robot learning. You'll train models, make them run on embedded devices, and carry their accuracy from controlled evaluation into real operating conditions, all within strict limits on latency, memory, and power. The role can include technical leadership of model development and deployment, and either way you'll be directly responsible for implementation and evaluation.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Train and evaluate computer-vision models for deployment on embedded devices.
• Build efficient C++ inference pipelines and integrate them with embedded Linux software.
• Optimize models and runtime performance for latency, memory, power consumption, and sustained operation.
• Test performance on representative data and hardware, and investigate errors across preprocessing, inference, and integration.
• For the lead position: set architecture and evaluation standards while continuing to develop models and software.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Strong Python and C++ programming skills, including debugging and performance profiling.
• Experience training and evaluating computer-vision models with a framework such as PyTorch.
• Experience developing on embedded Linux and deploying models on resource-constrained hardware.
• Understanding of quantization, model conversion, and inference optimization on CPUs, GPUs, or NPUs.
• Ability to evaluate accuracy, false positives, and missed detections across changing lighting, motion, and operating conditions.
• For the lead position: experience making architecture decisions and guiding engineers through model development and deployment.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience with accelerator runtimes, custom operators, or camera and video pipelines.
• Experience with dataset curation and rigorous evaluation of computer-vision models.

🎁 Benefits

Compensation: CA$170K – CA$190K • Offers Equity

In addition to base salary, total rewards may include equity, health and wellness benefits, and other company programs.
