AI / Robotics Research Engineer

We’re seeking an exceptional AI / Robotics Research Engineer to design and build vision-based autonomous systems operating in GPS-denied, fast-changing, and high-velocity environments (e.g., UAVs, aerial robotics). You’ll work hands-on at the intersection of deep reinforcement learning, real-time computer vision, model predictive control (MPC), and robotics, creating novel ML models and systems - not just stitching together open-source libraries.

You will collaborate with our hardware, embedded systems, and mechatronics teams to deploy AI models in the loop - in real-world settings with real consequences.

Tasks

• Design and implement custom machine learning architectures for vision-based navigation and control.
• Develop and optimize real-time perception systems using CNNs, transformers, or neuromorphic sensors.
• Apply deep reinforcement learning and MPC to guide autonomous behaviors in dynamic environments.
• Architect robust sensor fusion pipelines with IMUs, event cameras, radar, and visual odometry.
• Build, train, and evaluate ML models in simulation and deploy them to embedded hardware.
• Integrate AI with traditional control theory to achieve closed-loop autonomy at scale.
• Use and optimize NVIDIA toolkits (CUDA, TensorRT, DeepStream, Jetson) for performance-critical workloads.
