About this role

Senior Robotics Engineer: Perception is an onsite role at GrayMatter Robotics based in Carson, California, that suits professionals looking to build production-ready perception algorithms for industrial robotic systems. This position focuses on solving real-world manufacturing challenges using advanced computer vision and multi-modal sensing technologies.

Role Overview

GrayMatter Robotics seeks a Senior Robotics Engineer: Perception to join the development team onsite in Carson, California. The professional in this role will build production software architecture, work with physical hardware, and handle perception fundamentals for high-DOF robotic systems.

Key Responsibilities

Build and execute perception algorithms, systems, and software architecture for high-DOF manufacturing robots.
Configure and troubleshoot low-latency interfaces designed for high-bandwidth sensor data.
Create computer vision pipelines using multi-modal sensing for 3D reconstruction, segmentation, and inspection.
Own active perception pipelines including viewpoint planning, coverage optimization, and exploration strategies.
Produce high-performance software packages supporting GPU programming and hardware acceleration.
Research current literature in robotics and artificial intelligence to maintain technical expertise.
Assist internal and external teams at company facilities and client sites with hardware and product knowledge.
Debug stochastic software issues systematically to guarantee correct system operation.
Spend 30% of work time supporting application teams with proofs of concept, factory acceptance tests, and deployments.
Travel to customer locations for on-site debugging and system maintenance.

Requirements

Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related engineering field.
At least 2 years of industry experience building, testing, and implementing perception, control, planning, or learning algorithms.
Experience designing function-based software connected to sensor inputs, redundancy, and control loops.
Production-level coding proficiency in Python and C++.
Practical background optimizing and implementing 3D geometry algorithms like point cloud filtering, segmentation, and ICP or feature-based registration.
Skill in fusing 2D and 3D multi-view sensor data into unified meshes or point clouds.
Experience working with hardware vision sensors such as RealSense, Zivid, LMI, and Ensenso.
Familiarity with deep learning and machine learning techniques for point cloud and image processing.
Track record of combining classical 3D geometry methods with machine learning approaches in perception pipelines.
Strong background in machine learning and deep learning covering 2D image segmentation, 3D instance and semantic point cloud segmentation, and defect detection.
Experience deploying calibration, synchronization, and multi-sensor fusion frameworks in production.
Ability to guide hardware and software integration to secure deployment robustness.

Nice to Have

Advanced degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or an equivalent engineering discipline.
Minimum of 5 years of experience launching software systems into production environments.
Experience creating and taking ownership of full active perception pipelines involving viewpoint planning and coverage optimization.
