Rapyuta Robotics, an ETH Zurich spin-off, operates with the goal of making robots more accessible to anyone in the logistics industry. Rapyuta Robotics seeks individuals who involve others because they know the limits of their own view, and who are fearless in challenging limits to create real impact.
As the Senior Software Engineer for Perception in the Robotic Arm squad at Rapyuta Robotics, you will take on technical ownership of the perception capabilities for robotic arm systems: camera integration, calibration, image and point-cloud processing, object detection and segmentation, and 6DoF pose estimation. You will be a part of the robotic arm software platform and work closely with arm product teams.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own architecture, implementation priorities, and delivery within the scope.
- Lead software development and integration of classical computer vision and learning-based perception capabilities for robotic arms.
- Establish data collection, fine-tuning, and deployment pipelines for perception models.
- Mentor and maintain engineering quality through design and code reviews.
Requirements
Minimum Qualifications:
- Experience developing and deploying perception systems for robotic applications.
- Solid knowledge of classical computer vision, camera hardware interfacing and calibration, RGBD and point-cloud processing and transport.
- Hands-on experience with modern perception models, including foundation models for segmentation and 6DoF object pose estimation.
- Experience with MLOps, dataset curation and versioning, annotation workflows, model fine-tuning, versioning and deployment.
- Knowledge of the development lifecycle for robotics, CI/CD, simulation and hardware testing, and deployment to physical systems.
- Experience optimizing perception pipelines for edge hardware.
