• Work directly in the field on live construction sites deploying and iterating on cutting-edge autonomy systems seeing your code move 20 tons of steel.

What you will do:

• Architect and build robust 3D perception pipelines for teleoperated and semi-autonomous heavy machinery fusing multi-modal sensor data.

• Develop real-time object detection classification and tracking systems to enhance operator situational awareness and enable autonomy.

• Optimize algorithms for real-time execution on embedded compute platforms like NVIDIA Jetson Orin ensuring low latency and stability in challenging environments.

The ideal candidate:

• A hacker obsessed with rapid iteration prioritizing pragmatic reliable algorithms before scaling to advanced learning-based methods.

• Former entrepreneur or someone with extreme agency demonstrated by building projects from scratch successful or failed.

• Experience developing and evaluating robust 3D perception systems ideally for real-world robotic applications.
