OverviewArm is extending its "Arm everywhere" vision into robotics and embodied AI, where intelligence must operate under real-world constraints of latency, power, and safety. We are building a new robotics research lab in Austin focused on the science of integration, understanding how different paradigms (learning, control, planning) work together in real robotic systems, and how they map onto heterogeneous compute.
This role focuses on perception as a system-level capability, including how sensing, representation, and understanding integrate into full robotic stacks. You will design perception pipelines that operate efficiently under real-world constraints and connect seamlessly with planning, reasoning, and control layers across heterogeneous compute systems.
Responsibilities- Develop perception systems (SLAM, sensor fusion, semantic mapping)
- Design multi-modal sensing pipelines and environment representations
- Integrate perception with planning, reasoning, and control systems
- Evaluate performance under real-world constraints (latency, bandwidth, robustness)
- Contribute to system-level integration and demonstrations
- Translate perception workloads into platform-level requirements
Required Skills and Experience- Strong background in robotics perception (SLAM, vision, sensor fusion)
- Experience with real-world robotic systems or datasets
- Proficiency in C++ and/or Python
- Familiarity with modern perception and mapping techniques
- Publications in top-tier venues
"Nice To Have" Skills and Experience- Experience with multi-modal learning (vision, lidar, tactile)
- Familiarity with edge deployment and optimization
- Experience integrating perception with full robot stacks
In ReturnYou will define how robots perceive and represent the world as part of integrated intelligence systems-shaping both Arm's research direction and the architectures that will power robots at global scale.

Hybrid Working at ArmArm's approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team's needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
