Machine Learning Engineer: Perception
San Francisco, CA
Full-time
Onsite
Mid, Senior LevelBedrock Robotics is bringing autonomy to the construction industry with a team of veterans from the autonomous vehicle sector. They are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in perception systems, responsible for designing and deploying advanced models that integrate Lidar and camera data for object detection and segmentation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)Information TechnologyRobotics
Responsibilities
Design Early Fusion Architectures: Develop and train state-of-the-art models (e.g., BEV-based transformers) that fuse raw Lidar and Camera data to solve for object detection and semantic segmentation
Tackle "Messy" Physics: Build perception systems robust enough to handle dynamic occlusion (seeing the robot’s own arm/bucket), particulates (dust, snow, rain), and high-vibration conditions
Deploy to the Edge: Optimize models for inference on embedded hardware. You will debug system-level issues, such as sensor calibration drift and latency bottlenecks
Collaborating with other teams to create state-of-the-art representations for downstream use cases
Qualification
Required
Experience taking deep learning models from research to real-world production using PyTorch
Deep understanding of SE(3) transformations, homogeneous coordinates, and intrinsic/extrinsic sensor calibration
Practical experience with architectures that fuse modalities at the feature level (e.g., BEVFusion, TransFuser, PointPainting)
SOTA Object Detection experience with modern transformer-based architectures (DETR, PETR, etc…) including similar temporal models (PETRv2, StreamPETR, …)
Expert in Python, but also comfortable reading and writing systems code in C++ or Rust
Understanding of memory management and real-time constraints
Understanding that in robotics, better data alignment often beats a bigger model
Willingness to dig into the data infrastructure to ensure ground truth quality
Preferred
Experience working with occupancy grids, NeRFs, or voxel-based representations for terrain mapping
Published work in conferences such as ICRA, IROS, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, CoRL, or RSS
