Perception Engineer - Multimodal & Embodied AI (R6022)

Bring promising AI research into autonomous systems that operate in the real world.  Shield AI’s Perception team is looking for an engineer who enjoys exploring new ideas and making them work on real hardware. You’ll help turn advances in multimodal computer vision, visual foundation models, and embodied AI into useful capabilities for autonomous aircraft and vehicles. 

Working alongside researchers and autonomy engineers, you’ll evaluate promising approaches, build prototypes, and carry successful ideas into the Hivemind product. You’ll combine learned methods with established perception techniques, working through the sensor, software, and compute challenges that make edge robotics different from a benchmark.
