Algorithms Team Leader – AI, Robotics & 3D Vision

Algorithms Team Leader – AI, Robotics & 3D Vision

A fast-growing AI robotics startup is expanding its core algorithms group.

A well-funded AI startup in the robotics space is seeking a hands-on Algorithms Team Leader to lead its Planning Algorithms group. This is a hybrid position that combines deep algorithm development with leadership of a small team of around three engineers. The role will remain hands-on long-term — ideal for someone who wants to stay closely involved in algorithm design, coding, and system architecture while guiding a growing team.

Strong senior algorithm engineers may also be considered, provided they bring a deep 3D background and prior experience acting as an algorithms technical lead, even if they have not formally held a managerial title.

The company is expected to grow significantly this year, and this role will have direct influence on its planning, perception, and 3D intelligence technologies.

🌟 What You’ll Lead (While Staying Deeply Hands-On)

You will design and implement advanced planning algorithms across 3D computer vision, multi-view geometry, robotics, and deep learning — with 3D experience being an absolute requirement.

Alongside your own development work, you will mentor and guide a small algorithms team, shaping both its technical direction and its day-to-day execution.

🔍 What You Bring

• Strong 3D computer vision and 3D geometry expertise — mandatory.
• Experience in multi-view geometry, robotics algorithms, and deep learning.
• At least 5 years of hands-on algorithm development with real coding experience in C#, MATLAB, and Python.
• System-level thinking and experience building full algorithmic pipelines.
• Team leadership experience is an advantage; alternatively, senior engineers with proven algorithms technical lead responsibilities (architecture, mentoring, domain ownership) will be considered.
• Ability to thrive in an early-stage, hybrid environment with high ownership and shifting priorities.
• BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Experience with industrial automation or manufacturing-related algorithms is a strong advantage.

💡 Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• A true hands-on leadership hybrid role — you will continue building algorithms, coding, and shaping system architecture.
• Lead a small, focused algorithm group that will evolve as the company grows.
• Work at the intersection of AI, robotics, planning algorithms, and 3D vision.
• Significant company growth expected this year, offering expanded responsibility and influence.
• Hybrid work model, close collaboration across engineering, product, and executive teams.
