About UnitX
UnitX is building the world’s best robotics product to accelerate human productivity in manufacturing. UnitX is a fast-moving startup with a team from Stanford and Google. Since inception, UnitX has shipped 1000+ mission-critical systems across 100+ of the world's leading manufacturers' production lines. Every year, $2.8B dollar worth of products (think EV batteries) go through UnitX AI inspection system to ensure quality.If you are a customer-obsessed, first-principle problem solver who loves getting into the technical nitty gritty to deliver compelling, quantifiable, and scalable value to our customer within the 24/7 mission-critical manufacturing world, there is truly no better place to do it than UnitX.
We have assembled a world-class team of problem solvers in Silicon Valley and would love to talk to you.
Role Overview:
Join the 3D Vision team and help invent our next-gen inspection technology. You’ll run fast experiments in code and hardware, find failure modes, fix them, and iterate until it works on the factory floor. Expect lots of hands-on hacking, autonomy, and direct impact.
What You’ll Do
- Help create and design the next state of the art technology
- Prototype and benchmark 2-D/3-D vision algorithms.
- Integrate new sensors: build quick rigs, capture data, write drivers, sync lighting.
- Analyze failure cases; turn insights into code fixes or imaging tweaks.
- Maintain clean, tested Python code and lightweight JAX/PyTorch training or inference scripts.
- Collaborate with AI, hardware, and China-based application teams to push ideas into production.
Must-Have
- Bachelor's in CS, EE, ME, Physics, Math, or similar.
- Solid Python plus NumPy/SciPy; comfortable with OpenCV.
- Strong grasp of core computer-vision / image-processing math.
- Bias for rapid experimentation and self-directed problem solving.
- Able to work full-time on-site in Santa Clara.
Nice-to-Have
- PyTorch or JAX (GPU-accelerated pipelines).
- ROS or robotics integration experience.
- Hands-on optics / camera rigging skills.
- Mandarin or travel comfort (occasional China collaborations).
Benefits
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Full Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k
- Daily meals provided with your own choice
