interact with the world-in real time. You’ll sit at the intersection of academia and product, translating state-of-the-art research into production-ready software running on ROS 2 based platforms. What You’ll Do Own the real-time perception stack for robotic manipulation tasks, from sensor acquisition through to fused 3-D scene understanding and grasp/… speed and reliability. Implement, optimize, and profile deep-learning models in PyTorch and C++ (CUDA) to meet strict latency budgets on embedded GPUs/accelerators. Integrate perception modules in ROS 2, ensuring clean interfaces, deterministic scheduling, and robust failure handling. Conduct rigorous real-world and simulated experiments, and communicate results through clear technical reports and publications (internal and external). … C++17/20; proven track record writing clean, testable, high-performance code. Deep expertise with PyTorch (training & inference) and GPU programming (CUDA, TensorRT, or similar). Production experience with ROS 2 (rclcpp/rclpy, lifecycle nodes, DDS tuning, real-time QoS). Strong publication record in top-tier venues (e.g., RSS, ICRA, CoRL, CVPR, RAL). Preferred Qualifications Track record More ❯
