Research Scientist- SLAM & VIO
Mecka, New York
About the job
About Mecka ai
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems. We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.
The role
While our existing perception division handles classical state estimation and VIO, this role is dedicated to the next generation of spatial and temporal intelligence. We are hiring a Research Scientist to architect and train proprietary foundation models from scratch.
Your core mandate is twofold: building our in-house equivalents to cutting-edge 3D reconstruction architectures, and developing highly robust optical flow models tailored for the chaotic domain of egocentric vision. Beyond these core pillars, you will serve as a lead problem-solver for emergent perception challenges as our hardware and downstream robotics needs evolve.
To achieve this, we can provide a massive, continuous stream of high-quality, proprietary ground-truth data captured by our infrastructure. You will use this data advantage to train networks that surpass current public baselines, owning the complete spatial-temporal perception loop for our data engine.
