About the Role

Contoro Robotics is seeking a seasoned Senior Robotics Engineer specializing in perception and sensor fusion to drive our next generation of autonomous capabilities from prototype to production. This role involves developing cutting-edge autonomous truck unloading solutions for warehouse automation.

Responsibilities

  • Detect and estimate 6-DoF poses and 3D dimensions of rigid objects under occlusion and challenging lighting.
  • Integrate and synchronize multi-modal sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, radar/ultrasonic).
  • Perform extrinsic/intrinsic calibration techniques (hand-eye, LiDAR–camera alignment).
  • Implement lightweight localization methods (e.g., point-cloud registration, marker-based or feature-map alignment) within constrained, repetitive environments like shipping containers.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception and sensor fusion.
  • At least 2 years in a senior or lead role.
  • Proficient in C++ (modern standards), Python, and ROS 1/ROS 2.
  • Hands-on with industrial 3D cameras, LiDARs, IMUs, radar sensors, and synchronized data acquisition.
  • Deep understanding of multi-sensor calibration techniques (e.g., hand-eye, LiDAR–camera extrinsics).
  • Strong background in both deep-learning (e.g. YOLO, Mask R-CNN) and classical vision (feature matching, PnP, RANSAC) toolchains.
  • Proficiency with OpenCV, PCL, Open3D for real-time image and point-cloud processing.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and data-driven decision-making.
  • Excellent communication—capable of presenting complex technical concepts clearly to cross-functional teams.
  • Exposure to SLAM-lite or marker-based mapping approaches (AprilTags, ArUco).
  • Prior work with cloud-based monitoring/logging (AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT).
