Vision Systems Software Engineer

About the position

RIOS is a technology company helping global customers automate their factories, warehouses, and supply chain operations by deploying a new class of AI-powered and dexterous robots. RIOS robots handle hard-to-automate tasks, typically requiring human-level dexterity, in unstructured environments. RIOS is headquartered in Menlo Park, CA and has a pilot facility in San Carlos, CA. More information is available at www.rios.ai. RIOS is looking for a Vision Systems Software Engineer that can help engineer vision pipelines utilized in RIOS workcells. The Team is looking for individuals who primarily have experience extracting data from hardware devices -- the candidate must be an excellent software engineer who is also comfortable working with hardware.

Responsibilities

• Create containerized (docker) environments with device drivers, networking and attached devices (e.g., cameras and imaging sensors) and ensure hardware setup is sufficient for proper operation
• Evaluate and integrate standard computer vision algorithms for various applications
• Create camera intrinsic calibration framework and infrastructure for cameras without pre-calibration
• Contribute to and maintain RIOS's current camera extrinsics calibration framework
• Write and support high level APIs to interface to the cameras through ROS
• Support current and in-development deployments for all camera related work
• Prototype and develop drivers for custom USB/ethernet hardware
• Select and evaluate cameras for different use cases
• Improve image quality (depth and rgb) of standard cameras by tuning settings
• Detailed documentation of work products

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree, preferably in optics, electrical engineering, robotics, or similar
• 3+ years of industry experience
• Experience working with python, C++, and ROS
