IntroContoro Robotics is an Austin-based startup revolutionizing warehouse automation with a cutting-edge autonomous truck unloading solution capable of handling payloads over 60 lbs. Our mission is to deploy reliable, high-throughput robotic systems that solve real logistics challenges daily-beyond proof-of-concept demos.
We're seeking a seasoned Senior Robotics Engineer specializing in perception and sensor fusion to drive our next generation of autonomous capabilities from prototype to production.Job Responsibility- Perception & Computer Vision
- Detect and estimate 6-DoF poses and 3D dimensions of rigid objects under occlusion and challenging lighting.
- Sensor Fusion & Calibration
- Integrate and synchronize multi-modal sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, radar/ultrasonic).
- Perform extrinsic/intrinsic calibration techniques (hand-eye, LiDAR-camera alignment).
- Localization & Environment Awareness
- Implement lightweight localization methods (e.g., point-cloud registration, marker-based or feature-map alignment) within constrained, repetitive environments like shipping containers.
Qualification/Requirements- Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception and sensor fusion, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role.
- Education: Min. bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field/equivalent industry experience).
- Technical Expertise:
- 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.
- Soft Skills:
- Strong problem-solving skills and data-driven decision-making.
- Excellent communication-capable of presenting complex technical concepts clearly to cross-functional teams.
Preferred/Plus- Exposure to SLAM-lite or marker-based mapping approaches (AprilTags, ArUco).
- Prior work with cloud-based monitoring/logging (AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT).
What We Offer- Competitive salary and equity options in a rapidly growing startup.
- Comprehensive benefits:
- health, vision, dental
- 401k match
- health & wellness program
- continuous education
- Free Office Snacks
- Flexible Work hours
- Entertainment Area (ping pong)
- Pet friendly office
- Employee Recognition Program (nectarHR)
- A high-impact role with the chance to directly shape the future of robotics.
- Opportunities for career growth in an exciting, fast-paced, and innovation-driven environment.
- A collaborative and dynamic team, where your contributions are valued, and you'll have the support needed to excel.
