This role is designed for bright, curious, and self-driven graduates who aspire to build the next generation of intelligent robotic systems - capable of seeing, reasoning, and acting autonomously in the physical world. You will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of researchers, data scientists, and roboticists to explore, prototype, and implement computer vision and machine learning algorithms that power autonomous robots, humanoids, and intelligent machines. From visual perception and SLAM to multimodal sensor fusion and reinforcement learning, you'll be pushing the boundaries of what machines can perceive and do. If you are passionate about AI, robotics, and human-machine collaboration and want to shape how intelligent systems interact with the world - this is your launchpad., AI Research & Experimentation + Research, develop, and prototype novel algorithms in computer vision, deep learning, and autonomous systems. + Work on topics such as object detection, pose estimation, scene understanding, 3D reconstruction, and sensor fusion. + Contribute to building perception pipelines for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), humanoids, and collaborative robotic systems. Development & Implementation + Design, train, and optimize deep neural networks using frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow. + Develop real-time perception and decision systems using ROS, OpenCV, and NVIDIA Jetson/Isaac SDKs. + Implement algorithms for navigation, path planning, and control integration. Collaboration & Innovation + Partner with cross-functional teams in AI, robotics, and systems engineering to co-create innovative prototypes. + Participate in TCS research initiatives, innovation challenges, and client-facing proof-of-concept demonstrations. + Contribute to whitepapers, patents, and internal publications advancing TCS's thought leadership in AI and robotics. Continuous Learning & Experimentation + Stay current with advances in AI, robotics, and multimodal learning from academia and industry. + Experiment with new architectures (e.g., Vision Transformers, Diffusion Models, Agentic AI frameworks). + Test and benchmark algorithms on physical robot platforms and simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim). ## Related Videos - [AI for decision-making in Tech Recruiting](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1074-ai-for-decision-making-in-tech-recruiting) - [Machine learning 101: Where to begin?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1014-machine-learning-101-where-to-begin) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Search and aggregations made easy with OpenSearch and NodeJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/490-search-and-aggregations-made-easy-with-opensearch-and-nodejs) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [How to start an AI project for a good cause and boost your career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/15-how-to-start-an-ai-project-for-a-good-cause-and-boost-your-career) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
