Perception Engineer

If your last three perception jobs all ended with "flatten it to 2D," this one won't. I'm recruiting, on a confidential and exclusive basis, for an outdoor robotics company past the demo stage. Machines deployed on live customer sites. Real revenue. Manufacturing scaling to keep up with demand. But that's not the interesting part. Their robots operate in genuinely 3D environments, with active overhead obstacles. Which means the usual on-road AV move, flatten everything to a 2D grid, simply doesn't work here. They need someone who's actually built and shipped real 3D or 2.5D perception. Not someone who's spent years optimizing a 2D assumption that happens to hold on a road. What's on offer: Own the stack end to end, not one piece of it Report directly into product leadership, no six layers of management See your work on physical machines within weeks, not committee cycles Base well above market midpoint, plus real performance-linked upside, not a token bonus If you're tired of your skills being wasted on a problem that got solved (and oversimplified) years ago, this is the opposite of that.
