Aquabyte is looking for a Perception Engineer to help develop and deploy next-generation sensing capabilities to fish farms worldwide. You will expand our sensor suite to create a comprehensive understanding of the underwater environment.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement algorithms to process raw sensor data, correcting for environmental attenuation, noise, and physical constraints.
  • Develop techniques to fuse multi-modal sensor streams and perform precise sensor calibration to ensure data alignment and accuracy across the hardware stack.
  • Build pipelines that generate 3D representations of the environment from complex inputs.
  • Apply a combination of conventional and deep learning approaches to identify key features and objects within the sensor data.
  • Contribute to the production codebase, ensuring algorithms are scalable, robust, and well-tested in a primarily Python-based stack.

  • 3+ years of experience in perception or signal processing.
  • Strong coding ability with a mastery of Python and experience with SQL.
  • Demonstrated experience with sensor fusion, state estimation, or 3D computer vision (e.g., SLAM, structure-from-motion, or point cloud processing).
  • Strong software engineering skills, including knowledge of testing, version control, and deployment pipelines.

Nice to Have

  • Experience processing underwater acoustics or sonar data.
  • Familiarity with cloud data infrastructure (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Airflow).
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and cloud development (AWS).

Technical Stack

  • Python
  • SQL
