## About the Role

* 5+ years of experience deploying machine learning-based object detection algorithms on mobile robots with at least 2 years of experience in a technical leadership role
 * Proficiency in related technical areas such as (but not limited to) deep convolutional neural networks, multi-object tracking, data association, supervised learning and pose estimation
 * Strong mathematical fundamentals in linear algebra and numerical optimization and familiarity with core geometric concepts in computer vision
 * Familiarity with common computer vision and machine learning libraries such as (but not limited to) PyTorch, OpenCV, NumPy, etc.
 * Experience designing and optimizing algorithms for efficient execution across CPU and GPU architectures
 * Experience with MLOps such as (but not limited to) data annotation services, data storage, model evaluation tools, and model deployment
 * Publications in your field (CVPR, ICCV, RSS, ICRA preferred)

Bonus Qualifications:

 * Experience using YOLO, Faster/Mask R-CNN
 * Experience developing ML models for 3 or 6 dof pose estimation

This a hybrid position based out of one of our Salem, Pittsburgh, or Fremont offices.

The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This range may change based on geographical location and may be modified in the future.

## Description

* As a technical lead, you will own the architecture and technical roadmap for object perception systems used by the robot in production
 * Design, develop, and deploy machine learning algorithms for multi-object detection, scene understanding, and 6-DoF object pose estimation
 * Evaluate and drive adoption of state-of-the-art perception models
 * Promote best practices in architecture, design, and testing to deliver high-quality, scalable software
 * Optimize deep neural networks and associated data processing to run efficiently on embedded systems
 * Collaborate with navigation, manipulation and hardware teams to align perception capabilities with product requirements
