- 6+ years of experience
- Familiarity with Py Torch
- Experience with C++ and Python
- Experience with sensors and hardware
- Experience with warehousing or logistics
- Ability to find simple, robust solutions to challenging problems
- 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
- 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!
Our robotic forklifts are human multipliers:
They make it possible for people to do more with less while also creating safer and more efficient working conditions. Doing more with less is how we future-proof supply chain workflows, grow our economy, and provide higher-paying jobs. We make robots that work to make life better.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
