Robotics Architect, Perception

Computer Vision & Autonomous Systems | USA
We’re supporting a technology consultancy delivering robotics projects for clients across industrial and autonomous systems.
They’re looking for a Robotics Architect to lead the design and integration of perception systems that allow robots to understand their surroundings and operate reliably.

Responsibilities

• Define perception architectures, from sensor inputs through to outputs used by planning and control systems.
• Guide development across object detection, tracking, segmentation and scene understanding.
• Integrate cameras, LiDAR and other sensors, including calibration, synchronisation and sensor fusion.
• Select suitable algorithms, models and compute platforms for real-time operation.
• Lead testing across simulation and physical hardware, improving robustness in varied operating conditions.
• Work with clients to define requirements, guide technical decisions and support engineering teams.

Requirements

• Strong experience designing and delivering perception systems for robotics or autonomous platforms.
• Deep understanding of computer vision, 3D perception and sensor fusion.
• Strong C++ and Python skills, with experience using ROS or ROS 2.
• Experience deploying perception algorithms on physical robots or autonomous systems.
• Understanding of latency, compute constraints and GPU or edge inference optimisation.
• Experience leading architecture decisions and mentoring engineers.
• Comfortable engaging with clients and travelling to support project delivery.

The Opportunity

• Shape perception architectures across a range of robotics projects.
• Work closely with specialists in autonomy, controls, simulation and hardware.
• Combine technical leadership with hands-on engineering.
