Atlas Staff Perception Engineer Tactile Sensing

Skills

About the Role

You will design tactile sensing representations and optimized data pipelines for robotic manipulation. You will collect and process sensor data, conduct hands-on sensor testing, model sensing performance in simulation, integrate hardware interfaces, and document designs and experiments.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field, or a BS with significant relevant experience
• 5+ years of embedded-systems development experience in robotics, automation, or similar electromechanical products
• Understanding of tactile sensing physical principles and sensor modeling
• Experience with Git, Python, and C++ for high-bandwidth robotic data acquisition
• Proficiency in Python and PyTorch for sensor data processing or representation learning
• Technical communication and documentation skills

Responsibilities

• Design and evaluate tactile sensing data representations for closed-loop robotic manipulation
• Architect and implement high-bandwidth tactile sensor data pipelines
• Deploy automated data collection routines to generate ground-truth datasets
• Conduct hands-on testing under motion, vibration, and thermal variation
• Develop DSP-based pipelines to filter, fuse, and compress sensor signals
• Model sensor performance and integrate tactile sensing into simulated environments
• Define hardware interfaces and support system integration
• Document designs, experiments, and learnings
