• Comfortable working in a hybrid setup from Pune.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Teamcenter customization or PLM applications.
• Exposure to enterprise software development environments.
• Knowledge of software quality assurance and automation practices.

What We're Looking For

• Strong practical implementation skills.
• Ownership of testing and debugging activities.
• Experience working on production-grade applications.
• Ability to analyze complex issues and drive resolutions.
• Focus on software quality, reliability, and maintainability.

Evaluation Criteria

Candidates will be assessed on:

• Practical C++ implementation capability.
• GoogleTest framework expertise.
• Debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Understanding of OOP, STL, and memory management.
• Real project ownership and execution depth.

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
