Perception Engineer

PercepTek, a research and development firm specializing in perception, planning, and control for autonomous robotics, is seeking perception engineers with strong backgrounds in real-time software development in C++ under Linux. Candidates should have 3 to 5 years development experience and experience with machine vision or image processing either in a classroom setting or through hands-on projects. We are particularly interested in candidates with graduate degrees and experience in real-time processing, embedded software development, signal processing, robotics, machine vision / computer vision, image understanding, and artificial intelligence.

Typical tasks may include:

• processing radar, lidar, visible, or infrared imagery plus associated telemetry
• visualizing raw sensor data, processed sensor data, and telemetry
• performing 3D reconstructions using either stereo imaging or structure-from-motion techniques
• automatic threat detection and recognition using a variety of sensors
• tracking using correlation-, KLT-, meanshift-, or particle filter-based approaches
• terrain classification and obstacle detection for UAV and UGV platforms
• performing trade studies that incorporate performance, weight, power consumption, and algorithm choice for a variety of sensors and computing hardware
• designing and documenting architectures for real-time processing to support reactive control of unmanned vehicles

Because many of our contracts are ITAR restricted, we require that all applicants be either US citizens or legal permanent residents.

Image Processing Engineer

PercepTek, a research and development firm specializing in perception, planning, and control for autonomous robotics, is seeking signal-processing engineers with strong backgrounds in real-time software development in C/C++ under Linux. Candidates should have 3 to 5 years experience in signal processing. We are particularly interested in candidates with graduate degrees and experience in real-time processing, embedded software development, robotics, machine vision / computer vision, image understanding, and artificial intelligence.

Typical tasks may include:

• prototyping algorithms in Matlab
• processing radar, lidar, visible, or infrared imagery plus associated telemetry
• visualizing raw sensor data, processed sensor data, and telemetry
• creating and updating “world model” representations to support deliberative and reactive control algorithms
• image rectification, enhancement, restoration, and feature extraction

Because many of our contracts are ITAR restricted, we require that all applicants be either US citizens or legal permanent residents.

Software Engineer

PercepTek, a research and development firm specializing in perception, planning, and control for autonomous robotics, is seeking software engineers with strong backgrounds in real-time software development in C++ under Linux and a background in image processing or machine vision, either through class work or as a professional. Candidates should have at least 3 years development experience including some exposure to real-time systems, network programming, RPC/IPC mechanisms, multi-threaded programming, and embedded development. We are particularly interested in candidates with graduate degrees and experience in signal processing, robotics, machine vision / computer vision, image understanding, and artificial intelligence.

Typical tasks may include:

• coordinating with subcontractors to test and integrate deliveries into systems
• applying software engineering methodologies and techniques to design and document system architectures, including module interfaces
• using tools like gprof, Rational Quantify, or Intel’s VTune to profile system components and optimize code
• using tools like cppunit to implement comprehensive automated test plans for continuous integration testing
• coordinating and participating in code reviews
• working with researchers and perception engineers to implement algorithms and build GUIs for visualizing complex data and controlling autonomous vehicles

Because many of our contracts are ITAR restricted, we require that all applicants be either US citizens or legal permanent residents.
