Robotics Perception Engineer

As a Robotics Perception Engineer, you will develop and integrate advanced perception capabilities that enable subsea situational awareness and autonomous operations.

You will contribute across the perception stack, including multi-modal sensing, 3D scene understanding, tracking, anomaly detection and real-time inference. The work spans simulation, R&D prototyping, embedded deployment and real-world testing on ROVs, AUVs and vessel-based systems.

Key tasks and responsibilities

Research, design and implement perception algorithms tailored for subsea robotics

Develop modules for 3D object detection, segmentation, tracking, anomaly detection and environment understanding

Address challenges related to degraded sensor data and harsh marine conditions

Integrate perception capabilities into autonomy, navigation and control frameworks to support mission-level decision making

Participate in simulation, testing, validation and full-scale field trials

Drive perception-driven innovation and transition research into production-ready operational capabilities

Contribute to documentation, standards and continuous improvement processes

What you bring

Degree in Robotics, Computer Vision, Mathematics or a related engineering field

Strong experience with multi-modal perception (vision, lidar/sonar, radar, acoustic sensing)

Proficiency in C++ and Python for robotics development

Familiarity with ROS 2, real-time systems, sensor calibration and perception lifecycle development

Experience with machine-learning-based perception methods is valuable
