Perception Engineer
About Amidon Heavy Industries
Amidon Heavy Industries is a venture-backed startup transforming subsea inspection and monitoring. We build autonomous surface vessels (USVs) that autonomously launch and recover remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to perform high-frequency inspections of subsea pipelines, telecom cables, and offshore infrastructure. Our system operates at a fraction of the cost of traditional crewed vessels, unlocking scalable, real-time subsea awareness for the first time.
The Role
We are hiring a Perception Engineer to own the perception and mapping stack for our USV-ROV system. You’ll develop the pipelines that turn raw subsea sensor data into actionable insights, enabling digital twins, anomaly detection, and real-time awareness for our customers. This is a foundational role where your work will directly shape both the product and the company.
Responsibilities
Develop sensor fusion pipelines for sonar, video, IMUs, and navigation data.
Build real-time mapping and reconstruction systems (SLAM, structure-from-motion, multi-view geometry).
Develop perception algorithms for cable and pipeline detection, tracking, and condition monitoring.
Integrate perception with mission planning and operator dashboards (Helm platform).
Run simulations and at-sea tests, analyzing field data to refine algorithms.
Ensure systems perform in real-world ocean conditions (noise, poor visibility, dynamic currents).
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in robotics perception, computer vision, or autonomy.
Strong skills in C++ and Python.
Experience with SLAM, sensor fusion, and real-time perception pipelines.
Hands-on with ROS/ROS2 and robotic software frameworks.
Familiarity with sonar, video, and navigation sensors.
Bonus Points:
Experience in marine robotics or underwater perception.
Background in deep learning for perception (segmentation, anomaly detection).
Field robotics experience, building systems that survive outside simulation.
