Computer Vision Engineer: Underwater Robotics - Remote friendly

Jobs
1

We’re looking for a robotics and computer vision engineer to help us build perception for the next generation of autonomous underwater robots.

Our robots operate in conditions where off-the-shelf solutions often fall short, so this isn’t just about integrating existing packages. You’ll help design and build the perception stack, from SLAM and visual odometry to object detection and scene understanding, and take it from idea to code running on the robot.

You will be joining our R&D team of 12 people working across software, mechanics and electronics.

We think you’ll be a good fit if you have a solid foundation in both robotics and computer vision, write solid C++ and Python, and like taking an open problem to a working system on your own. Experience with SLAM or visual odometry is a big plus, as is underwater perception.

We can offer full-time employment in Stavanger, Norway, or full-time or part-time contracting work, remote or on-site.

Interested? Please contact me at jorn.bersvendsen@remorarobotics.no. Feel free to link to something you’ve built.

I came across this project / paper today for underwater SLAM. I can put you in touch with the Michigan Robotics department, perhaps one of the students involved with that work is graduating.

We’ve now closed the search for candidates.

For anyone looking to post on this forum, it may be of interest to know how this process went for us. I had about 200 applicants, most of whom I would say were relevant. Most were junior (<2 years of experience), but we ended up with a short-list of about 4-5 senior candidates with the particular skills we were looking for.

In parallel we had a traditional job posting going on nationally. I think the average quality of applicants coming from discourse was significantly higher than nationally.
