Senior Robotics Perception Engineer
About Elevate Robotics
We build multi-purpose robots that solve scalable industrial use cases. Our executive team previously founded Plus One Robotics and Fox Robotics. We have a small, highly talented hardware and software team. We plan to deploy 1 million robots in 10 years. We’re not a humanoid company.
Why This Role Exists
We need to deliver v1 of our perception stack (sensor selection and placement, object detection, obstacle detection) by December 2025. You will own that charter end-to-end, from algorithm design through on-robot validation.
Must-Haves
5+ years shipping perception on mobile robots (warehouse or factory preferred).
Object detection, segmentation, machine learning.
Python, C++, software development, software design.
Debugging on-robot, log analysis, field testing.
Nice-to-Haves
Multi-modal fusion
Synthetic data pipelines
Learning-based depth estimation
Simulation for training, testing and development.
Familiarity with recent models and approaches such as DINOv2, dust3r, etc...
How We Work
High ownership, fast feedback, no bureaucracy
Intense, but not a death march
Small software team with relatively general skills
AI-friendly
Compensation includes significant equity.
