Contoro Robotics Join Contoro Robotics – Revolutionizing Warehouse Automation with Cutting-Edge Robotics

At

Contoro Robotics , we're on a mission to solve labor challenges through advanced robotic solutions. Headquartered in

Austin, TX , our fast-growing startup is transforming the supply chain industry with our flagship warehouse automation technology. Our team is made up of top-tier experts in

robotics, AI, and logistics , working together to push the boundaries of automation.

We’re looking for

talented and ambitious individuals

to join us on this journey—helping shape the future of robotics while growing alongside a world-class team. If you're passionate about innovation, problem-solving, and making a real-world impact, we want to hear from you!

Intro

Contoro Robotics is an Austin-based startup revolutionizing warehouse automation with a cutting-edge autonomous truck unloading solution capable of handling payloads over 60 lbs. Our mission is to deploy reliable, high-throughput robotic systems that solve real logistics challenges daily—beyond proof-of-concept demos. We’re seeking a seasoned Senior Robotics Engineer specializing in perception and sensor fusion to drive our next generation of autonomous capabilities from prototype to production.

Job Responsibility

Perception & Computer Vision Detect and estimate 6-DoF poses and 3D dimensions of rigid objects under occlusion and challenging lighting.

Sensor Fusion & Calibration Integrate and synchronize multi-modal sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, radar/ultrasonic). Perform extrinsic/intrinsic calibration techniques (hand-eye, LiDAR–camera alignment).

Localization & Environment Awareness Implement lightweight localization methods (e.g., point-cloud registration, marker-based or feature-map alignment) within constrained, repetitive environments like shipping containers.

Qualification/Requirements

Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in robotics perception and sensor fusion, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role. Education: Min. bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field/equivalent industry experience). Technical Expertise: Proficient in C++ (modern standards), Python, and ROS 1/ROS 2. Hands-on with industrial 3D cameras, LiDARs, IMUs, radar sensors, and synchronized data acquisition. Deep understanding of multi-sensor calibration techniques (e.g., hand-eye, LiDAR–camera extrinsics). Strong background in both deep-learning (e.g. YOLO, Mask R-CNN) and classical vision (feature matching, PnP, RANSAC) toolchains. Proficiency with OpenCV, PCL, Open3D for real-time image and point-cloud processing.

Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving skills and data-driven decision-making. Excellent communication—capable of presenting complex technical concepts clearly to cross-functional teams.

Preferred/Plus

Exposure to SLAM-lite or marker-based mapping approaches (AprilTags, ArUco). Prior work with cloud-based monitoring/logging (AWS RoboMaker, Azure IoT).
