Robotics Software Engineer - Perception

ViaBot Inc. opening for a Robotics Software Engineer - Perception
About usHere at ViaBot, we're building a robot made to tackle real-world tasks. RUNO is an autonomous mobile robot designed to handle outdoor commercial tasks like sweeping and security. With deployments across the nation and over 800 million square feet cleaned, our aim is to change the way people see robots—not as gimmicks or as one-trick ponies, but as sensible solutions to sizable problems.

Who we’re looking forViaBot is looking for a passionate robotics software engineer eager to be a part of the future of robotics. They’ll play a critical role in the design, development, and deployment of perception-enabled features running on our mobile robot platform, RUNO. Our ideal candidate has a solid understanding and hands-on experience in developing perception algorithms for robotics applications, with expertise in related areas such as computer vision, machine learning, sensor fusion, SLAM, and point cloud processing. We are seeking problem solvers with a track record of iterative solutions, who can accelerate feature development through fail-fast testing and grounded, data-driven implementations.
ResponsibilitiesDesign, develop, and optimize perception pipelines for object detection, recognition, tracking, and localization.Evaluate and test these perception systems in simulated and real-world environments to ensure robustness and reliability.Advance our robot platform with new sensor additions, driving these decisions through thorough research, data collection, and test analyses.Collaborate with other RSEs and cross-functional teams in developing key features for our robot, including security and property inspection.
