Join a multidisciplinary robotics team developing advanced autonomous systems where perception accuracy is mission-critical. As a Calibration Engineer, you will own the calibration and validation of the sensor suite used across our robotic platforms, ensuring reliable and precise perception performance in real-world environments.
Working closely with differents teams, you will improve calibration workflows, optimize sensor performance, and contribute to the integration of high-quality perception systems.
Your responsibilities :
- Develop, validate, and maintain calibration procedures for multi-sensor robotic platforms.
- Calibrate and optimize cameras, LiDARs, radars, and other perception sensors to ensure accurate system performance.
- Analyze and correct camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, including lens distortion models and optical characteristics.
- Investigate calibration-related issues and improve sensor accuracy, robustness, and repeatability.
- Work closely with perception, robotics, and hardware engineers to integrate calibrated sensor systems into production platforms.
- Develop tools and processes to automate calibration and verification workflows where possible.
- Support system testing and validation both in the lab and during field deployments.
- Contribute to continuous improvements in sensor integration, perception quality, and overall platform performance.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 2–3+ years of hands-on experience in sensor calibration for robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, industrial automation, or similar high-precision environments.
- Knowledge of ROS/ROS2 or robotics software ecosystems.
- Strong understanding of:
- Camera calibration and lens distortion models
