As our data collection grows, your work will make millions of observations useful for teaching robots how to move and interact with the world.\nYou will own camera and camera-IMU calibration from algorithms to production. Bring deep expertise in camera geometry, strong software skills, and the drive to turn precise laboratory results into reliable performance across a growing fleet of real hardware.\nWhat You Will Do\nDevelop camera intrinsics, multi-camera extrinsics, and camera-IMU spatial and temporal calibration.\n\nBuild automated calibration stations, including capture software, targets, fixtures, and acceptance tests.\n\nValidate accuracy on independent data and real hardware, and diagnose the causes of calibration errors.\n\nTake calibration into production, improving accuracy, yield, and cycle time.\n\nDetect calibration drift and develop practical methods for recalibrating devices in use.\n\nSkills and Experience\n5+ years of experience in camera calibration, computer vision, or robotics, including hands-on delivery of calibration for production hardware.\n\nStrong understanding of camera models, multi-view geometry, and nonlinear optimization; experience implementing calibration algorithms.\n\nStrong C++ and Python skills, with practical use of OpenCV and optimization tools such as Ceres.\n\nExperience with wide-angle or fisheye cameras, camera-IMU alignment, time offsets, and rolling-shutter effects.\n\nExperience building production calibration stations and verifying accuracy beyond the calibration dataset.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with visual-inertial odometry, SLAM, or online recalibration.\n\nAbout You\nYou are ambitious about what you build and driven to make it exceptional. You can point to results you personally delivered.\n\nYou care deeply about your craft, pursue difficult questions, and learn quickly to push your work further.\n\nYou take initiative and own problems through to results. You work independently, make decisions, and bring others in when needed.\n\nYou know the details and follow through on testing, setbacks, and the practical work that makes an idea succeed.\n\nYou earn trust through honest communication. You own mistakes, share credit, and help the people around you succeed.\n\nA Note on Applying\nStudies show women and candidates from underrepresented groups often only apply when they meet 100% of the listed qualifications, while others apply after meeting 60%. If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply - we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.\nInclusive Hiring at Mecka\nWe are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive candidate experience. Should you require any accommodation whatsoever during the interview process, please inform us without any hesitation. Mecka is dedicated to ensuring equal treatment and opportunity in all phases of recruitment, selection, and employment, in compliance with employment law.
