Senior Robotics Engineer - Capture Systems

Architect, scope, and lead the design of Peripheral's entire spatial data capture suite — cameras, LiDARs, and the mechatronics, firmware, and software that support them.

Manage and grow the Capture Systems team, mentoring and developing engineers across mechatronics, firmware, and software (camera calibration, state estimation, and controls).

Set technical direction and priorities across the team, making architecture-level tradeoffs on sensor selection, hardware design, and the 3D capture pipeline.

Partner directly with the CTO and cross-functional leads (mechanical, robotics, downstream ML/perception teams) to translate product and research requirements into a capture system roadmap.

Drive the team's approach to 3D reconstruction, sensor fusion, and calibration, ensuring the capture suite produces data that's reliable and usable downstream.

Review and unblock technical work across the stack, from PCB and firmware decisions to state estimation and control algorithms.

Create and manage camera installation plans at arena- and stadium-scale venues

Experience with SLAM frameworks, point cloud processing, or 3D reconstruction libraries (e.g., COLMAP, Open3D, PCL).

Understands hardware development as a process: design, prototyping, tolerances, fit and alignment, thermal and vibration constraints, material selection, and manufacturing at volume.

Background in robotics perception for autonomous systems, motion capture, or similar spatial-data-heavy domains.

Experience building or scaling a hardware-adjacent engineering org from an early stage.

Publications at top-tier venues (e.g., CVPR, ICRA, ECCV, NeurIPS, etc) or patents in 3D computer vision, SLAM, or related fields.

Competitive equity package as an early team member.

Annual salary of $200K–$250K CAD plus performance bonuses, commensurate with experience.

Unparalleled access to premier global sporting events and iconic venues.

Full ownership of high-impact projects shaping the future of spatial intelligence and 3D media.

Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO).

Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and wellness benefits.
