About this role
About the company
Every physical good spends time in a warehouse, and every warehouse tracks their inventory. Today, nearly 100% of warehouses track their inventory manually using barcode scanners and climbing forklifts.
We're Corvus Robotics. Our fully autonomous Corvus One™ drones use computer vision & robotics to automatically track inventory, improving worker safety and increasing labor efficiency. We believe that data-driven, safe inventory management will optimize the global physical economy and improve economic prosperity for humanity.
About the role
We are hiring Computer Vision / Machine Learning Software Engineers to build compute-constrained models for deployed robots. You'll tackle diverse technical challenges, working with vast amounts of sensor data to increase environmental awareness and provide customers with deeper inventory insights. We value problem-solving, innovation, and continuous learning, and we encourage exploring new technologies to advance our machine learning capabilities.
What you'll do
Develop solutions for advanced computer vision tasks, including:
Monocular and stereo depth estimation
Learning-based structure-from-motion
3D occupancy networks
Scene understanding
Object detection
Optimize performance, accuracy, and speed of compute-constrained models
Collaborate across teams to deploy CV/ML models into production
Improve ML pipelines and infrastructure for dataset management, training, and deployment
Participate in R&D initiatives (20% of time) to experiment with state-of-the-art techniques
Drive business value by leveraging your work across robotics, software, and deployment teams
This role is in-person hybrid in Mountain View, CA. US work authorization is preferred but not required, can sponsor visas.
