Robotics Research Engineer

Pace Robotics is a construction robotics startup incubated by SINE IIT-Bombay and backed by Pidilite Ventures and IIMA Ventures . We are making the construction process faster, smarter and efficient through robots that can do advanced construction tasks and digitize execution data in real time. Our first product is a modular wall finishing robot for plastering, putty and painting of building interiors. Our customers include some of the biggest names in Indian real estate and construction.

We are seeking a passionate and driven Robotics Research Engineer with experience in SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), Sensor Fusion and 3D Robot Vision to join our growing team. You will be at the core of developing cutting-edge state estimation and perception solutions for autonomous robots operating in challenging construction environments. You will work on fusing data from multiple sensors—such as LiDAR, cameras, Encoders and IMU to enable reliable perception and navigation. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive at the intersection of theory and application, and are excited to turn algorithms into deployed systems.

What you will do :

• Design, implement and optimize SLAM and state estimation algorithms for real-time applications
• Develop robust sensor fusion pipelines, integrating data from 3D / 2D LiDAR, RGB-D camera, IMU and wheel encoders.
• Leverage latest Deep Learning / Machine Learning based techniques to develop robot’s decision making capabilities.
• Conduct experimental evaluations in simulation and real-world scenarios.
• Maintain modular, well-documented codebases with scalability in mind.
• Collaborate closely with hardware teams to deploy solutions on physical robots.
• Contribute to technical research and stay updated with the latest in 3D Robot Vision and SLAM literature.
• Perform debugging, profiling and performance tuning for on-robot deployment.

What's in it for you :

Globally, Construction provides a 1.6 Trillion Dollar opportunity, just by making the work more efficient. This is the market we are after. You will be an integral part of the core team of an early stage startup on a mission to change the way we build our world and disrupt one of the oldest and the largest industries. You will be designing products that can change the landscape of construction, become ubiquitous in project sites and be synonymous with construction of the future (Think of JCB and Tower Cranes of today)

We promise you an environment that promotes unhindered innovation and one that can provide exciting opportunities for accelerated growth. You will be working with a stellar engineering team having diverse experience in developing robots for automotive, agriculture and construction industries. You will have immense learning opportunity as you will be working on ‘never-seen-before’ products for an industry that’s ripe for technological disruptions.

The compensation includes company stocks through ESOP’s.
