Robotics Engineer
OctaPulse, Dallas, Texas
The role
Teach robots to handle fish: wet, slippery and soft. You will own robot learning end to end, until robots work reliably on real hardware, not just in a demo video.
OctaPulse builds computer vision and robotics for aquaculture. Fish farming is one of the fastest-growing food production systems on the planet, but much of its most important work is still done by hand, one fish at a time. Our vision systems already work on fish farms and processing lines. Now we are putting robots next to them.
Fish are a hard thing to handle. They are wet and slippery, they deform when you pick them up, and no two are alike. A rigid gripper and a clean tabletop demo do not get you far. We already have robots working on real hardware. The next job is making them reliable and measured.
You will be one of the first robotics hires. You will own robot learning end to end and work closely with mechanical design. This is not a research role. We care about robots that work on the hundredth trial, not the best video.
