Staff Engineer – AI for Perception, SLAM, and Sensor Fusion

Location: Ireland
Team: Edge AI Group, Analog Devices Inc. (ADI)

Analog Devices’ Edge AI team is on a mission to redefine how machines perceive and interact with the world. We’re building real-time, intelligent systems that combine world-class sensor technology with cutting-edge AI — at the Edge, where milliseconds matter.

We are looking for a Staff AI/ML Engineer with a strong background in robot perception, SLAM, and sensor fusion to help us build systems that localize, map, and understand complex environments. Whether it’s a mobile robot navigating a warehouse, or an intelligent sensor inferring structure from sparse data — your algorithms will enable precise, real-time environmental awareness.

You’ll be a core contributor to the development of robust and efficient AI-based perception systems, working alongside experts in hardware, embedded systems, and AI software. This is a hands-on role that blends applied research with production-grade engineering.

Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, and deploy algorithms for SLAM, visual odometry, and multi-sensor fusion (e.g., camera, IMU, LiDAR, encoders) in robotics and edge computing applications.

• Develop AI-driven methods for mapping, pose estimation, localization, and semantic perception, with an emphasis on performance and generalization.

• Train and evaluate deep learning models for spatial understanding, integrating with classical perception pipelines when needed.

• Work with real-world and simulated sensor data to test and refine models; contribute to internal datasets and benchmarking tools.

• Collaborate with embedded, systems, and software teams to bring perception solutions to production on resource-constrained edge platforms.

• Participate in project planning, code reviews, and architectural discussions; take ownership of technical areas and deliver high-quality, reliable implementations.

• Stay current with trends in AI for robotics (e.g., transformer-based perception, self-supervised learning, foundation models), and help integrate relevant advancements into our workflows.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in AI, robotics, or computer vision, including 4+ years focused on SLAM, sensor fusion, or perception systems.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering); M.S. or Ph.D. preferred.

• Strong understanding of 3D geometry, motion estimation, sensor fusion, and real-time system design.

• Hands-on experience building and deploying SLAM or VIO systems (e.g., ORB-SLAM, RTAB-Map, DSO, OpenVINS, Cartographer).

• Proficient in Python and C++, with practical experience using PyTorch, TensorFlow, or ROS.

• Comfortable working with real-world sensor data (e.g., stereo cameras, LiDAR, IMU) and simulation tools like Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or Unreal.

• Experience with DevOps/MLOps tools: Docker, CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms (Azure, AWS), version control (Git).

• Skilled at communicating technical insights, collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams, and contributing to shared architectural decisions.

Bonus Experience

• Experience integrating perception models with control loops, path planning, or robot operating systems (ROS2).

• Knowledge of self-supervised or foundation model-based perception techniques.

• Familiarity with industrial robotics, AMRs, or autonomous systems in structured environments.

• Contributions to open-source robotics or AI frameworks.

Why Join Us?

Join ADI’s Edge AI team to help create truly intelligent edge systems — where sensing, learning, and acting happen in real time. You’ll work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, solving hard problems with people who care about impact, reliability, and real-world performance.
