Research Engineer
Job Description
Matic is revolutionizing home robotics with their first product, a sophisticated floor cleaning robot that leverages cutting-edge spatial AI technology. The company is seeking a Research Engineer to join their innovative team, focusing on developing advanced computer vision and machine learning solutions for home robotics.
The role combines practical engineering with research-oriented problem-solving, requiring expertise in computer vision, 3D perception, and machine learning. You'll be working on creating and implementing algorithms that enable autonomous navigation and operation in real homes, using RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.
As a Research Engineer at Matic, you'll be instrumental in developing the technology that powers their privacy-first approach, where all data processing happens on the robot itself rather than in the cloud. The position offers an opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology that directly impacts people's daily lives by automating household chores.
The ideal candidate will have strong technical skills in machine learning, computer vision, and programming (particularly in Rust/C++ and Python), combined with the ability to translate complex technical problems into practical solutions. You'll be joining a tight-knit, collaborative team that's passionate about building products that make a real difference in people's lives.
This role offers significant growth potential and immediate impact opportunities, as you'll be joining the company at the ground floor. You'll work across multiple disciplines, collaborating with hardware, electrical, and systems teams to bring innovative robotics solutions to life. The position is perfect for someone who enjoys tackling complex technical challenges while working towards the goal of creating truly autonomous home robots.
