Staff Software Engineer, Perception

Fox Robotics is at the bleeding edge of warehouse automation, with a focus on autonomous forklifts. As the leader in this space, Fox has a clear product market fit, and a pathway to scale with giving a once-in-a-career opportunity to learn, all while working as part of a mission-driven team focused on making robots that work.

Come join a team focused on giving autonomous forklifts an understanding of the world around them. We turn sensor data into models of the world that provide a basis for action, allowing our forklifts to safely move around, manipulate objects in the environment, and perform useful work.

What you’ll do:

• Build and maintain perception code that runs on our fleet of autonomous forklifts
• Adapt modern research in robotics, artificial intelligence, and computer vision to solve challenging problems in robotics with a focus on performance and reliability
• Write code in C++ and Python
• Analyze current system weaknesses and contribute improvements that address them
• Design and build one or more key components of a modern, scalable autonomy system
• Deliver high quality code to ensure systems are robust and reliable
• Work with multi modal sensor data including RGB, stereo depth, and LiDAR

What you’ll need: 

• M.S. / Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or related field
• 6+ years of experience
• Familiarity with PyTorch
• Experience with C++ and Python
• Experience training deep convolutional neural networks
• Experience with sensors and hardware
• Experience with warehousing or logistics
• Ability to find simple, robust solutions to challenging problems

Nice to have:  

• Experience with 3D point cloud data (using both classical and deep learning techniques)
• ML ops experience - building and maintaining modern deep learning pipelines
• Experience deploying deep learning on the edge
• Experience using deep learning or other learned techniques to clean up sensor data
• Experience with photo-realistic simulators

Benefits and perks:

• A once in a career opportunity to build, alongside colleagues who deeply care (plus robots that aren’t bad, either!)
• Competitive salary and stock options
• Generous healthcare options
• Unlimited PTO
• Other perks that connect us, including lunch on Fridays, team building activities, and more!
