Senior Robotics Engineer - Localization & Perception

**About the company:** Rapyuta Robotics Koto-ku, Tokyo Building low­ cost, lightweight autonomous mobile robots with high-level intelligence distributed in the cloud, and enabling such robots to offload some of their heavy computation and seamlessly learn and share experiences with one another. **Responsibilities:** Design, implement, and refine localization & SLAM pipelines for mobile and stationary robots. Build perception modules for 3-D point-cloud processing, object detection, tracking, and sensor fusion. Integrate, test, and release software in ROS with Docker-based CI/CD. Profile, debug, and tune performance on CPU / GPU hardware for real-time operation. Work with mechanical, firmware, and product teams to ship robust, scalable solutions. Own features end-to-end—from architecture through field validation—and mentor junior engineers. Track emerging research; propose and prototype improvements to keep us at the state of the art. Requirements 5 + years delivering localization and SLAM in production robots. Deep knowledge of perception libraries (PCL or equivalent), classical & ML-based detection/tracking, and multi-sensor data fusion. Expert C++ and solid Python; strong grasp of software design patterns, testing, and code review. Hands-on ROS 1 / 2, Docker, and automated build / deploy pipelines. Demonstrated success bringing robots from lab to field. Nice to haves While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following. M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or related discipline. GPU programming (CUDA, TensorRT) and real-time optimization. Embedded or hardware-level integration experience.
