Geometric Vision Engineer – Perception and Localization 

Vimaan is seeking a skilled and enthusiastic Computer Vision and Robotics Engineer to play a pivotal role in the development and implementation of advanced geometric vision, localization and SLAM algorithms for our state-of-the-art warehouse inventory products. This role involves working on the development and implementation of Python-based modules and pipelines to be deployed on both server and edge-based platforms and requires thinking out-of-the-box to build modules that are both optimal and efficient.  

Geometric Vision Engineer – Perception and Localization Responsibilities

• Design, development and implementation of on-board computer vision algorithms, using both classical and modern methods, meant for real-time robot localization in an indoor warehouse setting. 

• Implement sensor fusion techniques to integrate data from multiple sensors such as LIDAR, Cameras, IMU and ToF to enhance the accuracy and robustness of vehicle navigation.

• Implement marker and tag detection algorithms using classical and modern computer vision techniques for real-time localization.  

• Contribute to geometric vision algorithms involving 3D computer vision tasks such as dense/sparse 3D reconstruction, Multiview pose estimation, RGBD fusion, 3D object detection and 3D dimensioning.

• Contribute to the product architecture, make decisions on sensor selections, and deploy solutions in various customer sites and gauge system efficiency on a day-today basis.
    

• Characterize and build metrics on the effectiveness of the computer vision algorithms in tackling the problem at hand.
   

• The role will include assessment of the best-in-class technologies, choice of the right technologies to implement for the Vimaan use case, implementation of the technology into our real-life solutions at customer facilities and continued support and improvement of the technology in the field.
