Who we are

With its A.I.-powered robotic technology platform, Symbotic is changing the way consumer goods move through the supply chain. Intelligent software orchestrates advanced robots in a high-density, end-to-end system – reinventing warehouse automation for increased efficiency, speed and flexibility.

What we need 

We are looking for an Advanced Computer Vision Software Engineer to join our Safety Technologies Software Team. Your job will be to develop novel methods of robotic perception that meet real-world reliability requirements. You’ll use 3D camera data to help robots see the humans and workpieces they need to interact with and develop tools to visualize and interact with 3D scenes. 

What we do 

Symbotic is building safety-critical systems leveraging advanced computer vision, robotics, and 3D sensing that will transform warehouse automation. The Safety Technologies Software team is tasked with developing a high-performance multiprocessor computer vision system, an embedded application that interfaces with industrial robots for safety controls and monitoring, as well as an intuitive engineering application which is used to design and configure the system. 

What you’ll do 

• Participate in the development of software solutions for vision applications including user interfaces, processing algorithms, mathematical modeling, machine learning. 

• Develop highly reliable C++ and Python software to implement 3D vision algorithms such as registration, object classification and tracking, and 3D reconstruction 

• Participate in the hardware design of computer vision solutions, including:  

• System design and component selection (2D and 3D cameras, lighting system, lasers, etc.) 

• Development of prototypes 

• Validation of prototypes in our Vision Lab and in our Test Center 

• On Site Support of our Vision Systems 

• Documentation and preparation for production 

• Planning and development of test benches for quality assurance 

• Develop both internal and external tools to visualize, analyze and interact with 3D information 

• Support for our actual Vision Systems on-site 

What you’ll need 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or equivalent. 

• Minimum 5 years of professional experience developing software applications. 

• Strong experience with C++ and Python programming languages 

• Strong skills in programming and algorithm design and a strong desire to develop computer vision or computer graphics 

• Knowledge of image/signal processing techniques and/or machine learning 

• Relevant experience in the development of computer vision systems 

• Relevant experience with robots (an asset) 

• Comfortable following a structured software development process required for functional safety certification, including development of rigorous unit and systems tests
