Robotics & Computer Vision Hiring

Perception to autonomy -
built for production.

Hiring for robotics means you’re not just assessing code - you’re hiring for systems that have to work in real environments, under real constraints.

We help robotics and computer vision startups hire engineers and technical leaders who can bridge research and production.

Hire with confidence

We headhunt Computer Vision and ML engineers building production-grade perception systems - detection, segmentation, tracking, and 3D vision.

Typical stacks include PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV and ONNX across applications like synthetic data, medical imaging, inspection, and AR/VR.

We focus on candidates who have deployed models in real environments, not just trained them.

We help startups hire engineers who design, simulate, and deploy real-world systems - across ROS2, Nav2, SLAM, motion planning, sensor fusion, and simulation environments like Gazebo.

From embedded systems through to application layers, we prioritise candidates who can deliver reliable autonomy outside of controlled environments.

From hands-on Engineering Managers to first-time CTOs, we place leaders who can build and scale robotics and software teams in early-stage environments.

We prioritise leaders who have operated in uncertainty, built from scratch, and can balance technical depth with delivery.
