Robotics Perception Engineer I/II – Perception Systems & Integration

At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in unmanned aircraft systems. Our team of engineers and innovators is developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions that push the boundaries of UAS technology - solving complex challenges that matter.

We're building the future of UAS capabilities, and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here.

We are seeking a Robotics Perception Engineer to build and integrate real-time vision systems and perception infrastructure for unmanned aerial platforms. You will develop camera pipelines, implement sensor fusion algorithms, and create robust testing frameworks to ensure reliable perception performance across diverse operating conditions.

Responsibilities:

Vision System Integration

• Develop and maintain camera drivers and sensor interfaces for multi-camera systems on embedded platforms
• Integrate off-the-shelf and custom perception algorithms into production autonomy stacks
• Build efficient image processing pipelines using GStreamer, V4L2, and Jetson multimedia APIs
• Implement camera calibration workflows including intrinsic, extrinsic, and temporal synchronization
• Design data logging and telemetry systems for perception subsystem monitoring and debugging

Perception Infrastructure & ROS2 Development

• Build ROS2 nodes for camera capture, sensor fusion, and perception output distribution

• Develop standardized message interfaces and APIs between perception
