Senior Principal Perception Engineer

Get to Know the Team

Our team develops production-grade robotics and autonomy capabilities for the uniquely complex, diverse logistics of Southeast Asia's cityscapes. We are forward-thinking and practical: advancing perception, planning, and control step by step, with safety evidence as the gate for every milestone. We focus on building robust system capabilities, scaling with uncompromised quality, and collaborating with industry leaders while investing in in-house expertise where it differentiates us.

We are a senior, hands-on engineering group that prizes operational excellence, clear interfaces, and reproducible pipelines.

Get to Know the Role

As the Senior Principal Perception Engineer, you will be the technical anchor and visionary for the perception stack. You will architect, design, and deliver systems that transform raw sensor data into a reliable, real-time understanding of dynamic, high-density cityscapes. This is a hands-on role with broad technical ownership, setting the direction and standards for perception while driving the development of production-grade solutions.

You will report to the Head of Engineering and will contribute directly to both technical and strategic leadership.

The Critical Tasks You Will Perform

Architecture & Technical Strategy

• Own the technical vision and roadmap for the perception system, from sensor inputs through tracking and scene understanding.
• Architect a scalable, production-grade perception stack designed specifically for the challenges of Southeast Asian environments.
• Establish the standard for excellence in engineering rigor, system design, testability, and operational readiness.

Algorithm & Model Development

• Lead the development and delivery of core perception algorithms, including 2D/3D detection, multi-sensor fusion, multi-object tracking, and segmentation.
• Write clean, efficient, and production-ready code in C++ and Python.
• Own the full lifecycle of models: data curation, training, evaluation, deployment, and inference optimization (e.g., ONNX/TensorRT).
• Assess the strengths and limitations of the developed perception solutions, and iteratively improve them through development and performance optimization.

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Partner with other technical anchors in Planning, Mapping, and Integration to solve system-level challenges and deliver a cohesive, reliable system.
• Mentor and grow our senior engineers, acting as a force multiplier for the entire team.
• Translate advances in perception research into robust, production-ready systems.
