The ideal Perception Algorithm Engineer candidate shares this real-world perception experience through robotics, autonomous vehicles, or industry. A successful candidate has not only developed perception systems and products, but has iterated on and improved that product once deployed. They have operated under time or market pressure which has led to some innovative solutions to tricky sensor problems.
Examples of Things You’ll Work On...
-Develop performant perception algorithms for both cloud and low-powered host machines -Develop algorithms to calibrate various combinations of sensors -Develop unit and integration tests for all production-critical code -Participate and contribute to intensive research-backed product proposals -Improve UX for user-facing perception products through testing and customer discussion -Write and contribute to our internal and user-facing product documentation -Contribute to the Tangram Visions blog with relevant, technical content for a robotics and sensor savvy audience -Be open to networking/speaker opportunities on behalf of the company: -Presentations at local meetups -Communications inside and outside of Tangram on progress and projects -You should expect to travel at least 4 weeks out of the year for company retreats, conferences, and trade shows -Craft and maintain Your User Manual up to date. User Manuals are documents written by you, about you. They're meant to be easy ways for someone else to get to know you and your working style, so that everyone can better understand one another and collaborate more effectively -Communicate and check-in with each other. Every proposal, piece of documentation, and prototype is meant to be open, malleable, and collaborative. This lets us do our best work while preserving the best aspects of asynchronous work - focus and time. Even so, live communications are encouraged even if its just to check in on someone’s day -Do your part in keeping our operations running smoothly - submitting PTO requests, observing travel budgets, etc.
