Perception Engineer -Apprentice

As a Perception Engineering Intern / Apprentice at 10xConstruction, you will help our autonomous drywall-finishing robots 'see' the job-site. You'll design and deploy perception pipelines—camera + LiDAR fusion, deep-learning vision models, and point-cloud geometry—to give the robot the awareness it needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Build ROS 2 nodes for 3-D point-cloud ingestion, filtering, voxelisation and wall-plane extraction (PCL / Open3D)
• Train and integrate CNN / Transformer models for surface-defect detection and semantic segmentation
• Implement RANSAC-based pose, plane and key-point estimation; refine with ICP or Kalman / EKF loops
• Fuse LiDAR, depth camera, IMU and wheel odometry data for robust SLAM and obstacle avoidance
• Optimise and benchmark models on Jetson-class edge devices with TensorRT / ONNX Runtime
• Collect, label and augment real & synthetic datasets; automate experiment tracking (Weights & Biases, MLflow)
• Collaborate with manipulation, navigation and cloud teams to ship end-to-end, production-ready perception stacks
