Senior Robotics Engineer - 3D Perception

Senior Robotics Engineer (f/m/d) - 3D Perception

100% Zürich

Hexagon Robotics is a division of Hexagon – a global leader in precision measurement. The division develops humanoid robots for industrial sectors to address labor shortages and accelerate the transition from automation to autonomy. Our first humanoid, AEON, was launched in June 2025 and is already in pilots with five customers.

Enable humanoid robots to understand and safely operate in complex industrial environments.

As Senior Robotics Engineer for 3D Perception you will design and implement robust perception capabilities including detection, tracking, 6D pose estimation, mapping, and scene understanding, and translate them into reliable production-ready components that run efficiently in real-time on our robot. Your algorithms will shape how humanoid robots perceive, navigate, and interact with the real world.

Your Mission

• Design, implement, and deploy state-of-the-art perception algorithms into production
• Build robust production grade pipelines for object detection, tracking, pose estimation, and 3D reconstruction
• Improve robustness and accuracy of perception models using real and synthetic datasets
• Work with synthetic data generation and augmentation pipelines to expand and improve training datasets
• Validate and test algorithms in simulation and on physical robots
• Contribute to testing strategies, benchmarking, and continuous system improvement

Your Skillset

• MSc or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science or similar
• Strong background in 3D computer vision and/or machine learning with at least 5 years of experience
• Expertise in areas such as 6D pose estimation, mapping, 3D reconstruction, etc
• Practical understanding of dataset curation, training, and evaluation workflows for learning-based perception models
• Proficiency in C++ and Python
• Experience working with real sensor data on robotic systems
• Solid theoretical depth paired with pragmatic engineering execution

How You’ll Stand Out

• Experience working on autonomous mobile robots
• Experience with synthetic data workflows for model training
• Experience with Gaussian Splatting
• Experience deploying accelerated inference using e.g. TensorRT
• Familiar with camera sensors and optics

What You’ll Get

• Flexible working hours and a hybrid model for real work-life balance
• Generous vacation: 25–30 days depending on age
• CHF 500 mobility credit for sustainable commuting
• Bonus system & strong pension contributions
• Tailored training & development opportunities
• Relocation support for a smooth start
• Discounts on health, mobility & entertainment
• Team events and a flat hierarchy where your voice counts
• A warm, international culture built on respect and collaboration

Great robots need great people.
