Senior Perception Engineer information

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

To thrive as a Senior Perception Engineer, you need a strong background in computer vision, machine learning, and sensor data processing, typically supported by a degree in computer science, robotics, or a related field. Proficiency with tools such as Python, C++, ROS, and deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) is essential, along with experience working with LiDAR, radar, and camera systems. Excellent problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and strong communication skills help you tackle complex challenges and integrate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams. These skills ensure the development of robust perception systems critical for the safety and performance of autonomous vehicles or robotic platforms.

What is the difference between Senior Perception Engineer vs Computer Vision Engineer?

AspectSenior Perception EngineerComputer Vision Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's/Master's in CS, EE, or related; experience in perception algorithmsBachelor's/Master's in CS, EE, or related; strong background in image processing and algorithms
Work EnvironmentAutonomous vehicles, robotics, AI systemsImage analysis, machine learning, AI applications
Employer & Industry UsageTech companies, automotive, roboticsTech firms, research labs, automotive
Common Search & ComparisonOften compared due to overlapping skills in perception and visionRelated but more focused on visual data processing

While both roles involve working with perception and visual data, a Senior Perception Engineer typically focuses on integrating perception systems into autonomous platforms, whereas a Computer Vision Engineer specializes in developing algorithms for image and video analysis. The roles often overlap but differ in application focus and industry usage.

How does a senior perception engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams in autonomous systems development?

As a Senior Perception Engineer, you will work closely with experts in robotics, software engineering, and hardware integration to develop and refine perception algorithms for autonomous systems. Collaboration often involves frequent meetings with sensor teams to ensure data quality, as well as alignment with planning and controls engineers to guarantee that perception outputs meet system requirements. You may also participate in code reviews, joint debugging sessions, and design discussions to ensure seamless integration of perception modules. This cross-disciplinary teamwork is essential for building reliable and robust autonomous solutions.

What is a senior perception engineer?

Senior Perception Engineers are specialized professionals who design and develop advanced perception systems for machines, such as autonomous vehicles or robots. They work on algorithms and sensor fusion techniques to help machines interpret and understand their environment, enabling safe navigation and decision-making. Their role often involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, optimizing software for real-time performance, and integrating sensor data from cameras, LiDAR, radar, and other sources. Senior-level engineers typically have several years of experience and take on leadership responsibilities within perception teams.

Job description

Agility's commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

About the Role

Agility Robotics is building the world's most capable humanoid robots, and we're looking for an engineering leader to build the simulation team to own software at the foundation of it. This is a greenfield role: you'll define the team's charter, create the roadmap, hire and develop its engineers, and establish the infrastructure.

You'll work at the intersection of physics simulation, hardware abstraction, and robot learning — partnering closely with our AI, Controls, Perception Sensors, Hardware Interfaces, Quality Assurance, and Systems Integration teams to build simulation environments that accelerate development, provide insights into the system, and enable rapid validation.

About the Work

  • Build and lead a new Simulation team from the ground up — including defining scope, hiring engineers, and establishing team culture and practices
  • Architect and own the hardware abstraction layer connecting sensors, actuators, and physical hardware to simulation environments
  • Develop and integrate physics simulators using open-source frameworks, with a focus on fidelity, performance, and sim-to-real transfer
  • Partner with AI, Controls, Perception Sensors, Hardware Interfaces, and Systems Integration teams to support new robot development and capability expansion
  • Define what success looks like for simulation at Agility — tooling, workflows, coverage, and metrics — and drive the team to deliver it
  • Develop your engineers: set clear expectations, create growth opportunities, and build a team people want to be part of

About You

Leadership

  • Demonstrated experience leading and growing engineering teams, including hiring
  • Track record of developing engineers' careers and building high-performing team cultures
  • Ability to operate effectively across hardware and software organizations, aligning stakeholders with different technical vocabularies

Technical

  • 10+ years of industry experience, with at least 5 years in robotics
  • Hands-on experience building or leading simulation infrastructure
  • Proficiency in modern C++ and Python
  • Experience with at least one major robotics physics simulator (MuJoCo, IsaacSim, Gazebo, or similar)
  • Familiarity with standard software development practices: Git, CI/CD, Jira or equivalent, feature branching

Education

  • MS or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent depth of industry experience

Bonus Points

  • Experience with humanoid or legged robots
  • Experience with sim-to-real transfer pipelines
  • Experience shipping a robotics product to production
  • Prior experience building a simulation team or function

This role can be hybrid (3 days on-site per week at one of our offices) or fully remote, with up to one week of travel per month.

The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This range may change based on geographical location and may be modified in the future.

Anticipated Base Salary Range
$208,000—$324,000 USD

In addition to base pay, our competitive total rewards package consists of the following for full-time employees:

  • 401(k) Plan: Includes a 6% company match.
  • Equity: Company stock options.
  • Insurance Coverage: 100% company-paid medical, dental, vision, and short/long-term disability insurance for employees.
  • Benefit Start Date: Eligible for benefits on your first day of employment.
  • Well-Being Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
  • Time Off:
    • Exempt Employees: Flexible, unlimited PTO and 12 company holidays, including a winter shutdown.
    • Non-Exempt Employees: 10 vacation days, paid sick leave, and 12 company holidays, including a winter shutdown, annually.
  • On-Site Perks: Catered lunches four times a week and a variety of healthy snacks and refreshments at our Salem and Pittsburgh locations.
  • Parental Leave: Generous paid parental leave programs.
  • Work Environment: A culture that supports flexible work arrangements.
  • Growth Opportunities: Professional development and tuition reimbursement programs.
  • Relocation Assistance: Provided for eligible roles.
  • Annual Discretionary Bonus: Provided for eligible roles.
