About us:

We’re a Series A company building intelligent, endearing robots for consumer use at home. The home autonomy space has been dramatically overlooked when it comes to robotics. While the last decade has seen an influx of companies promising self-driving cars and intelligent humanoids, none are delivering these solutions reliably or affordably. Meanwhile, regular people are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.

At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining what autonomous floor cleaning robots can achieve using AI and computer vision with our flagship product. From there, our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping realistic, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.

About the role:

We're looking for a motivated perception engineer to join us on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.

What you'll do

• Translate open-ended, real-world problems into well-defined machine learning problems

• Design, build, and code computer vision-based algorithms

• Build novel neural network architectures

• Design and implement robust 3D geometry-based vision algorithms

• Build scalable machine learning infrastructure to train on large datasets and simultaneously be reproducible

• Analyze results, continuously update and improve accuracy & speed of various algorithms

• Deploy algorithms & machine learning pipelines at scale on the edge devices with limited compute without sacrificing performance

• Work to enable Level 5 autonomy in consumer robotics

• Cross-collaborate with Hardware, Electrical, and Systems teams to bring product vision to life

What we look for

• Robust machine learning background in computer vision and perceptual tasks, including 3D perception, multi-class object detection, 3D maps, and advanced robotics controls

• Track record of product-focused research applied to real-world applications

• Fluency with Rust (or C++) and Python (PyTorch or similar tools)

• Ability to write clean, reliable code that is easily maintained

We'd love to hear from you if...

• You are genuinely motivated to help those around you

• You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones

• You love diagnosing complex technical issues

• You are excited to do great work

If you got to this point, we hope you're feeling excited about this opportunity at Matic! Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We're eager to meet people who are keen to learn and are passionate about what Matic is building. We want to hear how you can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just the above boxes.
