Your Impact at Lila
As a
Principal Robotics Engineer – Computer Vision , you will lead the design and deployment of perception systems that power our intelligent robots. You’ll own the vision pipeline—from sensor selection and calibration to detection, segmentation, object recognition.... Your work will be essential to enabling high-reliability perception in complex, real-world environments. You will collaborate across robotics, systems architecture, and machine learning teams to define and deliver robust, production-ready vision systems that enable our platforms to act intelligently in the world.
