About this role

We are looking for a Robotics Perception Engineer with 3+ years of experience to own and build the low-level sensor pipeline that powers Tutor Intelligence's next-generation VLA-driven robots. We're looking for a strong software engineer who has worked hands-on with real robotic hardware (cameras, LiDARs, sensors, actuators) and can ensure that data from a suite of six 30fps RGBD cameras and 3D LiDARs is processed accurately, performantly, and reliably. You'll be taking critical work directly off the lead engineer's plate, owning the full pipeline from sensor input to application logic and data storage. If you've worked in autonomous vehicles, defense robotics, or any fast-moving robotics environment and love building systems that can't afford to fail, this role is for you.

What will you be doing?

Build and maintain high-performance sensor pipelines processing six 30fps RGBD cameras and 3D LiDARs without dropping frames

Process raw sensor data into usable representations (e.g. point clouds) consumed by operators and AI models

Ensure data is accurately saved to datasets for downstream model training

Debug and resolve complex hardware-software integration issues across the full perception stack

Own perception infrastructure end-to-end, from sensor integration through production deployment on real robots in customer facilities
