We engineer mobile, semi humanoid dual arm robots, merging robust hardware with intelligent software. As an early stage startup, we trade bureaucracy for pure ownership. We are looking for ambitious engineers and researchers eager to bridge the gap between leading edge science and real world application. If you want to take ownership and build complex robotics from the ground floor up, join our team. Role Overview We are seeking a highly technical Lead Perception Engineer to architect and build the entire visual infrastructure for our robots. This is a foundational leadership role where you will define the technical strategy and lead the future team responsible for machine understanding. You will take total ownership of the perception pipeline, from raw sensor data to a complex 3D world model, serving as the central figure who grants our robots the intelligence to operate safely in the real world. Skills Proven Track Record: Demonstrated experience in computer vision or robotic perception, successfully building and deploying complex vision pipelines (advanced academic research or a PhD / PostDoc provides a strong foundation).Core Technologies: Expert level C++ and Python programming skills within a ROS 2 environment.Computer Vision: Strong experience with 3D computer vision and sensor fusion (e.g., stereo / depth cameras, LiDAR).Libraries & Frameworks: Proficiency with libraries like OpenCV and ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).Machine Learning: Experience with ML based perception (e.g., segmentation, 6D pose estimation).Deployment: Proven ability to deploy algorithms on real robots, optimizing for latency and inference speed.Language: Solid communication skills in English. Benefits & Culture Real Work, Not Busywork: You will contribute to actual engineering projects that ship, not to slide decks. True Ownership & Impact: See your work come to life from day one, directly shaping our technology. Elite, Hands-on Team: Work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment alongside top robotics talent rooted in ETH Zurich research. No Red Tape: We are an ambitious, focused team driven by growth and excellence, not bureaucracy. Join our team: Based in Zurich (CH) | Esslingen (DE). We value in-person collaboration, most work is on site, with some hybrid flexibility. Full remote work is not possible. Build from Scratch: As the architect of our perception stack, you will design and implement the entire pipeline that transforms raw sensor data into actionable 3D understanding, laying the foundation for all higher level robot intelligence and autonomy.About Us Born from the labs of ETH Zurich in 2024, Duatic is developing advanced robotic systems to tackle industrial labor shortages.
