AI Senior Engineer

• Own client engagements end to end - technical discovery, solution architecture, hands-on build, and delivery - acting as the technical authority on feasibility.
• Translate ambiguous real-world problems into concrete perception and robotics ML architectures; lead demos and proof-of-concept scoping.
• Design and build CV and perception systems - detection, segmentation, pose estimation - on the 3D geometry underneath (SE(3), camera models, projection, coordinate frames).
• Own sensor calibration and fusion - intrinsic/extrinsic, hand-eye, and LiDAR - camera - plus LiDAR processing (registration, ground segmentation, object detection).
• Design egocentric data collection pipelines using wrist/head-mounted cameras, depth sensors, and IMU for robot learning.
• Bridge simulation and deployment via domain randomisation, sim setup, and sim-to-real gap analysis.
• Evaluate, select, and integrate VLA models, and fine-tune large pretrained models under data and compute constraints.
• Build supporting services - agentic loops, REST/gRPC APIs, and PostgreSQL - to expose model inference and robotics services.
• Mentor engineers, drive principled decisions (diagnose before solving), and translate current research into practical client implications., * Hands-on with robot hardware (Franka, UR, Unitree, or similar).
• Research orientation - tracks arXiv, forms opinions from first principles.
• Publications, open-source work, or notable projects in robot learning or Physical AI.
