Join Contoro Robotics - Revolutionizing Warehouse Automation with Cutting-Edge Robotics
At Contoro Robotics, we're on a mission to solve labor challenges through advanced robotic solutions. Headquartered in Austin, TX, our fast-growing startup is transforming the supply chain industry with our flagship warehouse automation technology. Our team is made up of top-tier experts in robotics, AI, and logistics, working together to push the boundaries of automation.
We're looking for talented and ambitious individuals to join us on this journey-helping shape the future of robotics while growing alongside a world-class team. If you're passionate about innovation, problem-solving, and making a real-world impact, we want to hear from you!
Intro
Contoro Robotics is an Austin-based startup revolutionizing warehouse automation with a cutting-edge autonomous truck unloading solution capable of handling payloads over 60 lbs. Our mission is to deploy reliable, high-throughput robotic systems that solve real logistics challenges daily-beyond proof-of-concept demos. We're seeking a seasoned Senior Robotics Engineer specializing in perception and sensor fusion to drive our next generation of autonomous capabilities from prototype to production.
Job Responsibility
  • Perception & Computer Vision
    • Detect and estimate 6-DoF poses and 3D dimensions of rigid objects under occlusion and challenging lighting.
  • Sensor Fusion & Calibration
    • Integrate and synchronize multi-modal sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, radar/ultrasonic).
    • Perform extrinsic/intrinsic calibration techniques (hand-eye, LiDAR-camera alignment).
  • Localization & Environment Awareness
    • Implement lightweight localization methods (e.g., point-cloud registration, marker-based or feature-map alignment) within constrained, repetitive environments like shipping containers.

Qualification/Requirements
  • Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception and sensor fusion, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role.
  • Education: Min. bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field/equivalent industry experience).
  • Technical Expertise:
    • Proficient in C++ (modern standards), Python, and ROS 1/ROS 2.
    • Hands-on with industrial 3D cameras, LiDARs, IMUs, radar sensors, and synchronized data acquisition.
    • Deep understanding of multi-sensor calibration techniques (e.g., hand-eye, LiDAR-camera extrinsics).
    • Strong background in both deep-learning (e.g. YOLO, Mask R-CNN) and classical vision (feature matching, PnP, RANSAC) toolchains.
    • Proficiency with OpenCV, PCL, Open3D for real-time image and point-cloud processing.
  • Soft Skills:
    • Strong problem-solving skills and data-driven decision-making.
    • Excellent communication-capable of presenting complex technical concepts clearly to cross-functional teams.

Preferred/Plus
  • Exposure to SLAM-lite or marker-based mapping approaches (AprilTags, ArUco).
  • Prior work with cloud-based monitoring/logging (AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT).

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and equity options in a rapidly growing startup.
  • Comprehensive benefits:
    • health, vision, dental
    • 401k match
    • health & wellness program
    • continuous education
  • Free Office Snacks
  • Flexible Work hours
  • Entertainment Area (ping pong)
  • Pet friendly office
  • Employee Recognition Program (nectarHR)
  • A high-impact role with the chance to directly shape the future of robotics.
  • Opportunities for career growth in an exciting, fast-paced, and innovation-driven environment.
  • A collaborative and dynamic team, where your contributions are valued, and you'll have the support needed to excel.
