About UnitX

UnitX is building the world’s best robotics product to accelerate human productivity in manufacturing. UnitX is a fast-moving startup with a team from Stanford and Google. Since inception, UnitX has shipped 1000+ mission-critical systems across 100+ of the world's leading manufacturers' production lines. Every year, $2.8B dollar worth of products (think EV batteries) go through UnitX AI inspection system to ensure quality.

If you are a customer-obsessed, first-principle problem solver who loves getting into the technical nitty gritty to deliver compelling, quantifiable, and scalable value to our customer within the 24/7 mission-critical manufacturing world, there is truly no better place to do it than UnitX. We have assembled a world-class team of problem solvers in Silicon Valley and would love to talk to you.

Role Overview:

Join the 3D Vision team and help invent our next-gen inspection technology. You’ll run fast experiments in code and hardware, find failure modes, fix them, and iterate until it works on the factory floor. Expect lots of hands-on hacking, autonomy, and direct impact.

What You’ll Do

• Help create and design the next state of the art technology

• Prototype and benchmark 2-D/3-D vision algorithms.

• Integrate new sensors: build quick rigs, capture data, write drivers, sync lighting.

• Analyze failure cases; turn insights into code fixes or imaging tweaks.

• Maintain clean, tested Python code and lightweight JAX/PyTorch training or inference scripts.

• Collaborate with AI, hardware, and China-based application teams to push ideas into production.

Must-Have

• Bachelor's in CS, EE, ME, Physics, Math, or similar.

• Solid Python plus NumPy/SciPy; comfortable with OpenCV.

• Strong grasp of core computer-vision / image-processing math.

• Bias for rapid experimentation and self-directed problem solving.

• Able to work full-time on-site in Santa Clara.

Nice-to-Have

• PyTorch or JAX (GPU-accelerated pipelines).

• ROS or robotics integration experience.

• Hands-on optics / camera rigging skills.

• Mandarin or travel comfort (occasional China collaborations).

Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity

• Unlimited PTO

• Full Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k

• Daily meals provided with your own choice
