Robotics Perception information

What is robotics perception?

Robotics perception refers to the ability of robots to interpret and understand their environment using sensors such as cameras, LIDAR, and radar. This field combines elements of computer vision, machine learning, and sensor fusion to help robots identify objects, navigate spaces, and interact with the world safely and effectively. Robotics perception is crucial for autonomous systems like self-driving cars, drones, and industrial robots, enabling them to make decisions based on real-time data from their surroundings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a robotics perception engineer?

To thrive as a Robotics Perception Engineer, you need a solid background in computer vision, machine learning, and robotics, typically supported by a degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field. Experience with tools like ROS (Robot Operating System), OpenCV, and programming languages such as Python or C++ is essential, along with familiarity with sensor technologies and perception algorithms. Strong problem-solving skills, teamwork, and clear communication are crucial soft skills for addressing complex challenges and collaborating effectively. These abilities ensure robust perception systems, enabling robots to interpret and interact safely and efficiently with their environments.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in robotics perception roles when integrating perception systems with real-world robotics applications?

A key challenge in Robotics Perception is ensuring that perception algorithms—such as object detection, mapping, and localization—operate reliably in dynamic, unstructured environments. Professionals often need to address sensor noise, variable lighting conditions, and occlusions that can impact data quality. Integrating perception systems with robotic hardware requires close collaboration with mechanical, software, and controls engineers to ensure real-time performance and robustness. Adapting solutions to different platforms and continuously validating them in field tests is also an essential, ongoing responsibility.

What is the difference between Robotics Perception vs Robotics Software Engineer?

AspectRobotics PerceptionRobotics Software Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Computer Science, or related fields; experience with perception algorithmsBachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related; programming skills in C++, Python
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, R&D departments, industry settings focused on sensor data processingDevelopment teams, industrial or research settings, focusing on software development for robots
Industry UsageUsed in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotic systems for environment understandingDevelops the software that enables robotic functionalities, including perception modules

Robotics Perception specialists focus on developing algorithms that interpret sensor data to understand the environment, while Robotics Software Engineers build the overall software systems that incorporate perception modules. Both roles often collaborate but differ in their core focus and skill sets.

Job description

Build the Path Forward
At Path Robotics, we're building the future of embodied intelligence. Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries. We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use.
Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.
We are seeking a Platform-focused Software Engineer to join our team. You will bridge the gap between software development and fleet orchestration, building the infrastructure that powers our robots, both locally and in the cloud. This role requires a unique blend of developer skills and platform operations experience to build the tools, automation, and observability systems that ensure our robotic deployments are scalable, secure, and reliable. If you are passionate about solving complex, real-world robotics problems and eager to shape the future of manufacturing, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
Tech you will use:
  • Languages: Python, Terraform HCL, Node.js, Ansible
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform.
  • Fleet & Robotics: OTA (Over-the-Air) software deployment systems, Observability tooling (e.g., Foxglove),
  • Identity & Security: Enterprise AuthN/AuthZ integrations.
  • Collaboration: CI/CD (GitHub Actions), Jira/Confluence, Google Workspace.

Core Responsibilities:
  • Platform Development: Build and scale configuration management processes to support our robotic fleet.
  • Infrastructure Automation: Automate complex infrastructure processes, including enterprise-scale AWS account management and deployments.
  • Fleet Orchestration: Design and maintain OTA (Over-the-Air) software deployment systems to ensure seamless updates across our robotic assets.
  • Identity & Access: Support the migration and management of enterprise-level AuthN and AuthZ for internal and external applications.
  • Observability: Implement and enhance robotics observability tooling (e.g., Foxglove) to improve robot-to-cloud integration and monitoring.
  • Incident Management: Develop automated incident reporting and escalation tooling to proactively identify and resolve production issues.
  • Collaboration: Work alongside product engineers to ensure the platform meets the needs of both the robotic fleet and the applications that interface with it.

Who You Are
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). 2+ years of experience in production support, development, and DevOps practices.
  • The Hybrid Engineer: You understand the interdependent relationship between product features and the underlying infrastructure. You apply software development best practices (reusable code, automated testing) to platform engineering.
  • Infrastructure Pro: You are proficient in managing cloud environments (AWS) and understand the complexities of multi-account deployments.
  • Robotics Enthusiast: You are excited by the challenge of moving data between robots and the cloud. You have hands-on experience or a strong interest in tools for remote robotics tooling (e.g., Foxglove, Rerun).
  • Security-Minded: You have experience with Enterprise AuthN/AuthZ and understand the importance of secure identity management at scale.
  • Problem Solver: You thrive on troubleshooting complex, distributed issues and are committed to automating your way out of manual tasks.

Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Daily free lunch to keep you fueled and connected with the team
  • Flexible PTO so you can take the time you need, when you need it
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 6 weeks fully paid parental leave, plus an additional 6-8 weeks for birthing parents (12-14 weeks total)
  • 401(k) retirement plan through Empower
  • Generous employee referral bonuses-help us grow our team!
