The Role

Responsible for developing the computer vision stack and leading the transition toward a deep learning-based architecture.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and deploy software functionality for perception-driven robotic manipulation.
• Develop algorithms, robotic software modules and libraries with responsibility for the full software engineering lifecycle: requirements, design, source code implementation, unit test, integration, and system test. 
• Using existing data to train new pose detection and classification models , deploy that on HW, develop failure analysis tooling to help understand good/bad cases.
• Develop pipelines to mine data from execution bags with prediction results and develop SOP to help collect data with high quality ground truth from motion capture. Work with a cross functional team to help scale these collections. 
• Support product deployment, system maintenance, and software- based as well as real-world simulations of commercial functionality. 
• Support customer deployments.
• Triage issues to support the algorithms deployed.
