Your mission

Join a multidisciplinary robotics team developing advanced autonomous systems where perception accuracy is mission-critical. As a Calibration Engineer, you will own the calibration and validation of the sensor suite used across our robotic platforms, ensuring reliable and precise perception performance in real-world environments.
Working closely with differents teams, you will improve calibration workflows, optimize sensor performance, and contribute to the integration of high-quality perception systems.
Your responsibilities :

• Develop, validate, and maintain calibration procedures for multi-sensor robotic platforms.
• Calibrate and optimize cameras, LiDARs, radars, and other perception sensors to ensure accurate system performance.
• Analyze and correct camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, including lens distortion models and optical characteristics.
• Investigate calibration-related issues and improve sensor accuracy, robustness, and repeatability.
• Work closely with perception, robotics, and hardware engineers to integrate calibrated sensor systems into production platforms.
• Develop tools and processes to automate calibration and verification workflows where possible.
• Support system testing and validation both in the lab and during field deployments.
• Contribute to continuous improvements in sensor integration, perception quality, and overall platform performance.

Your profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 2–3+ years of hands-on experience in sensor calibration for robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, industrial automation, or similar high-precision environments.
• Knowledge of ROS/ROS2 or robotics software ecosystems.
• Strong understanding of:
  • Camera calibration and lens distortion models
  • Optical systems and imaging principles
  • Multi-sensor calibration (camera, LiDAR, radar)
  • Sensor intrinsic and extrinsic calibration
• Experience working with robotic or mechatronic systems.
• Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail and a precision-oriented mindset.
• Comfortable collaborating across software, perception, and hardware teams.
• Fluent in English.

Nice to have

• Experience with autonomous robots, drones, or mobile robotic platforms.
• Background in the automotive, semiconductor, or industrial automation sectors.
• Experience with perception systems and sensor fusion.
• Experience with Counter-UAS or defense-related autonomous systems.
• Familiarity with computer vision libraries such as OpenCV and calibration toolchains.

What else

• Builder mentality: you ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts
• Hands-on ownership: you proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope
• Field-driven mindset: you care about what survives real operations, not “lab perfect”
• High quality bar: you aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering
• Startup drive: you execute fast despite ambiguity, and adapt quickly
• Mission alignment: genuine motivation to work on defense-relevant, safety-critical robotics
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is required
