    Full time
    Description

    At Rapid Robotics, we are passionate about building accessible and affordable robotic automation solutions that address the manufacturing labor crisis. Our mission is to provide manufacturers with a robotic solution that can be deployed against simple tasks in hours rather than weeks and at a fraction of the cost of other automation solutions that require extensive manual programming. Our solution is driven by the belief that every innovation should be purposeful and that the simplest solution is usually the best one. Guided by these principles, we create turnkey robotic work cells to solve our customers' operational challenges.

    At Rapid, everyone has a seat at our table, and we encourage collaboration and sharing ideas. We value mutual respect, innovate with purpose, and, most importantly, put our customers first. These values have helped us build toward becoming the biggest provider of robotics automation solutions.

    Founded in 2019, we are a Series B company that has raised $54M in funding. Our headquarters is in San Francisco, California, with an additional office in Novi, Michigan.


    Principal Machine Learning Engineer, Robotic Perception

    About the Role

    We are looking for a Principal Machine Learning Engineer who will spearhead the efforts of our machine learning team, focusing on developing innovative deep learning vision algorithms for robotic grasping in practical, automation applications. This role involves working closely with robotics and platform engineers to create end-to-end AI enabled robotic products. Your ultimate goal is to design and develop machine learning models that enable our robots to understand and interact efficiently with the physical world.

    Candidates for this role should possess a strong foundation in machine learning, computer vision, deep learning, and robotics. You should have experience in Python and be familiar with machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face. The ideal candidate will demonstrate an ability to work both collaboratively and independently, and shift efficiently between conceptualizing high-level architecture and detailing low-level implementation specifics.

    You're a good fit if you:

    • Hold a PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or a related field, or have equivalent experience
    • Possess 10+ years of experience in machine learning, specifically with developing and implementing deep learning models
    • Have a strong understanding of both 2D and 3D perception techniques as applied to robotics
    • Are experienced with machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or equivalent
    • Have a proven track record in creating and implementing complex machine learning systems
    • Have experience with unit testing, functional testing, and best practices for ML model evaluation
    • Demonstrate experience with Git, code review processes, and agile methodologies
    • Possess a robust understanding of distributed computing and managing large scale machine learning systems: instrumenting, monitoring, debugging, performance analysis, and optimization
    • Exhibit confidence being hands-on from initial brainstorming, through prototyping, into building and deploying the final product
    • Have experience with ROS2. Although not mandatory, would be a strong plus

    What you'll accomplish:

    • Model Selection & Adaptation: You will have the opportunity to scrutinize and select the best machine learning models and techniques that align with our specific requirements. This involves not only choosing the right architecture and algorithms but also making critical adjustments to optimize them for our unique needs.
    • End-to-End Perception Pipeline Development: In collaboration with our software team, you will work on developing a robust perception pipeline. This pipeline will include a blend of traditional computer vision techniques and advanced machine learning algorithms, carefully designed and orchestrated to provide our robots with the best understanding of their surroundings.
    • Innovation in Robotic Vision: You will apply your expertise in ML and computer vision to push the boundaries of what's possible in robotic perception. By developing novel vision algorithms, you will empower our robots to operate effectively in a variety of complex and dynamic environments.


    The salary range for this full-time position is between $200,000 - $280,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
