As a Robotic AI Engineer, you will develop the intelligence that lets our spacecraft perceive, reason, and act autonomously - from perception and manipulation to onboard decision-making. You will work at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and space systems, building AI that operates reliably in resource-constrained, high-stakes environments.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and develop AI/ML models for spacecraft autonomy, perception, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance\nDevelop perception pipelines (computer vision, sensor fusion) for pose estimation, object/target detection, and scene understanding\nBuild reinforcement learning, planning, and decision-making algorithms for autonomous on-orbit operations and robotic manipulation\nBuild data pipelines for training, evaluation, and deployment of models\nCreate simulation environments (including physics/robotics simulators) for training and validating AI and robotic behaviors\nDeploy and optimize models on edge / resource-constrained flight hardware\nIntegrate AI and robotics systems with flight software and ground segment tools\nCollaborate with software, systems, GNC, and operations engineers on AI-driven features\nResearch and prototype novel approaches to space-specific robotics and AI challenges\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, AI/ML, Mathematics, or a related field\nStrong programming skills in Python\nExperience with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar)\nUnderstanding of statistics and mathematical foundations of ML\nExperience with version control systems such as Git\nWhat We're Looking For\nWe're building technology that hasn't been done before. Experience is helpful, but curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you're excited about spacecraft, enjoy solving hard engineering problems, and want to help build something new, we encourage you to apply - whether you're early in your career or more experienced.\nPreferred Skills\nCreative problem solver with strong first-principles thinking, capable of assessing risk and making decisions with limited data.\nExperience in a nimble, technical engineering role, with a scrappy, entrepreneurial approach to meeting tight time or budget constraints.\nExperience with robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS), motion planning, or manipulation\nExperience deploying ML models on edge devices or resource-constrained platforms\nFamiliarity with reinforcement learning, planning, or decision systems\nKnowledge of computer vision or sensor fusion techniques\nExperience with MLOps, model monitoring, and continuous training pipelines\nUnderstanding of spacecraft operations or autonomous systems\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills, collaborative team player, and detail-oriented with a focus on quality.\nAdditional Requirements\nExtended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones.\nThis role requires a physical presence at the Ottawa facility.\nCompensation\nSalary: $75,000 - $110,000 CAD per year\nEquity: 0.1% - 0.5%\nIf you're excited about shaping the future of space systems, we'd love to hear from you.\nPlease submit any projects that you have worked on.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3326,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T02:38:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.121,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":187,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":77032,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/spaceium-inc-robotic-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/spaceium-inc-robotic-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T13:12:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20376,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3779071},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3779071"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-robotic-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-robotic-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-robotic-ai-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/spaceium-inc-robotic-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fspaceium-inc-robotic-ai-engineer"}]}
