Embedded Developer

7th Unit is building a wheeled upper-body humanoid robot for industrial deployment in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. This is a founding role, you own the perception architecture from day one.

What you'll do

• Build and own the full perception stack for v1 — object detection, depth estimation, workspace understanding
• Integrate perception with manipulation and motion planning systems
• Deploy and optimize perception pipelines on edge hardware (Jetson Orin or equivalent)
• Work directly on the physical robot — debugging real hardware, not simulations
• Develop the data pipeline for continuous improvement of perception performance

What we need

• 3+ years building perception systems for real robotic platforms — not research only
• Strong foundation in computer vision, 3D data processing, and sensor fusion
• Proficiency in Python and C++, hands-on experience with ROS2
• Experience deploying perception on edge compute hardware
• You have debugged a perception system on a physical robot under real operating conditions

Structure

• Position starts Q3 2026
• Equity negotiated directly, founding engineer package
• Remote during pre-build phase. In-person required from prototype assembly onward
