Description

Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology? Do you thrive on solving complex problems and turning innovative ideas into reality? We are seeking an exceptional Robotics Perception & AI Engineer to join our team and help develop groundbreaking technology for next-generation ground and flying robotic platforms (with an immediate focus on quadcopter drones). Our mission is to advance man-machine teaming by developing robust perception and intelligent system capabilities that improve the effectiveness, awareness, and performance of robotic platforms in real-world environments. Key Responsibilities Drive innovation and take initiative by developing state-of-the-art perception, computer vision, and AI solutions for complex real-world robotics challenges. Take ideas from problem formulation through design, development, integration, and deployment on production platforms, with end-to-end ownership over solutions. Contribute to the development and optimization of production-grade software for edge devices, adhering to high standards of performance, reliability, and maintainability. Build capabilities across the perception stack, including detection, tracking, scene understanding, image/video processing, geometry-based methods, and learning-based approaches. Contribute to intelligent system capabilities for operator assistance and human-in-the-loop robotics, including multimodal understanding, agentic behaviors, decision support, and task-oriented robotic behaviors. Work closely with adjacent teams, including Platform and GNC, in areas where system responsibilities intersect. Create professional-grade documentation to effectively communicate solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences. Requirements 5+ years of hands-on experience in computer vision, perception, and/or AI development for real-world systems. Strong programming skills and the ability to design, implement, debug, and maintain production-quality software. Experience with industry-standard AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow. Solid understanding of 3D math used in robotics and computer vision, including coordinate frames, transforms/rotations, and camera projection concepts. Good grasp of classical computer vision and image processing. Ability to work effectively in Linux-based development environments and collaborate in shared codebases using standard engineering tools and workflows. Bachelor’s degree in a relevant STEM field. Strong technical writing skills in English. Preferred Qualifications / Strong Advantages Advanced STEM degree. C++ experience is a strong advantage, especially for production and edge-device development. Motivation and ability to learn and contribute to production and edge robotics codebases are highly valued. Exposure to multimodal and agentic AI, operator-assistance, decision-support, or human-in-the-loop robotic systems is a plus. Experience with robotics/AI tools and frameworks such as ROS2, OpenCV, CUDA, TensorRT, ONNX, CMake, Git, and related tooling. Experience with edge / embedded / real-time systems is a strong advantage. Why Join Us? Work on technology that truly matters. At XTEND, we don’t just build robotics we create solutions that protect lives, empower operators, and make a real difference in the world of defense and security. Join a team of passionate innovators working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and real-world impact, where every challenge has purpose and every breakthrough counts. Thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where responsibility, innovation, and teamwork go hand in hand. Be part of a bold journey to redefine what robotics can achieve and know that your work has meaning beyond the code, the hardware, and the lab.
