Working closely with autonomy, controls and middleware engineers, you will participate to technical decisions, establish best practices and continuously improve the robustness and performance of our perception capabilities. <br>This is a highly hands-on robotics position focused on delivering production-ready software that performs reliably in the field, not research prototypes.<br><strong>Your
