LUUM is hiring a Perception Engineer

Luumlash is hiring a Senior Perception Engineer to develop the core vision and machine learning algorithms for our novel robotic eyelash extension system. You'll be hands-on, selecting and adapting state-of-the-art methods to enable fast and accurate detection, tracking, and classification for a custom-built, high-speed robotic platform.

What You'll Do

  • Develop computer vision and perception software to support our robotic eyelash extension system.
  • Design algorithms for detection, tracking, pose estimation, 3D reconstruction, and world modeling in space-relevant conditions.
  • Maintain the software stack for robustness, scalability, and iteration speed; define coding standards and best practices.
  • Work hands-on in C++ and Python to prototype, implement, and optimize perception algorithms, specifically image processing.
  • Perform software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to validate performance and robustness.
  • Collaborate with non-technical operators as well as mechanical, robotics, and systems engineers to tightly integrate vision solutions into hardware.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years work experience and a Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a specialization in Machine Learning or computer vision for robotic systems.
  • Strong programming fundamentals in Python and C++ with proficiency in ML frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  • Comfortable working in larger, evolving codebases with version control (Git), testing, and CI/CD.
  • 5+ years experience shipping significant CV/ML systems in production hardware (e.g., robotics or autonomous vehicles).
  • Experience working in Linux environments and with modern development workflows.
  • Passionate about machine learning and computer vision for robotic systems.
  • Ability and willingness to work on-site in Oakland, CA.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in stereoscopic vision.
  • Demonstrated experience taking projects from concept through implementation, testing, and deployment.
  • Open-minded, collaborative, and a cross-functional team player.
  • Energized by new ideas and able to iterate on them constructively.
  • Experience with CUDA.
  • Eager to stay abreast of research and technology in computer vision and ML.
  • Value transparency, candid communication, and working through hard problems with small collaborative teams.

Technical Stack

  • C++
  • Python
  • TensorFlow
  • PyTorch
  • Git
  • Linux
  • CUDA

Team & Environment

You will collaborate closely with non-technical operators, mechanical engineers, robotics engineers, and systems engineers in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Flexible work schedule
  • Competitive PTO policy
  • Competitive Medical, Vision and Dental benefits

Work Mode

This is an on-site position located in Oakland, CA.
