Job description and main tasks
As a software engineer specialized in computer vision, you will be part of a highly skilled team whose members are jointly responsible for designing, developing and maintaining the high-level software in our robotic applications. At Mediate Srl we have a highly transversal structure, which allows for our employees to bring their expertise to several exciting projects. Currently, two main projects, under Mediate robotics division, will require your contribution in computer vision software implementation. In the first project, the software you will be working on image manipulation and relevant information extraction in the form of features that will then be used in machine-learning algorithms for classification purposes. For the second project, you will be responsible of the implementation of 3D image reconstruction from point-cloud representations in order to aid on the generation of trajectories to be followed by a robotic arm. You will have the opportunity to work with SoA imaging technologies and software, intuitive user interfaces, 3D graphics, and much more.
In general terms, we are looking for an enthusiastic software engineer or computer scientists willing to:
- develop and adapt advanced computer vision and state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for object detection and classification;
- design and architect practical systems for solving challenging image-understanding problems;
- develop and evaluate state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms for real-time control of robots and other hardware devices;
- develop and test vision algorithms to control robots and advanced hardware systems created for human-interaction environments;
- document algorithmic approaches, test results, prepare technical reports, present results, and demonstrate system capabilities.
Job profile and competences
We are looking for fast-learning, highly-qualified candidates with proven experience in the field of computer vision. The ideal candidate has some knowledge of National LabVIEW, mainly, but also MATLAB, C++ and Python experience in required.
Further, we expect the following from you:

Job description and main tasks
As a control engineer, you will be part of a highly-skilled team whose members are jointly responsible for contributing to the development of a versatile, modular and interconnected robotic platform capable of solving nowadays automation needs faced by SMEs. Your employment at Mediate will require for you to contribute in the major steps of the design cycle, i.e.: i) designing, ii) developing, iii) coding, iv) simulating, v) testing, and vi) reporting functional modules for our general-purpose industrial robotic platforms. The general-purpose industrial robotic platform is composed of: 1) perception devices, such as sensors and other information sources, 2) intelligence modules interpreting and fusing such information used to guide, and 3) actuation modules. In particular, the following modules could benefit from your contribution:
- vision modules for robotic visual servoing used in quality control and pick&place tasks;
- local and global trajectory planners for manipulation robots and mobile machines;
- online optimizers (g., machine learning strategies for online learning);
- integration of new sensors (g., lasers, US, IR) and actuators (e.g., AGV, suction grippers,…) to the general-purpose industrial platforms;
- communication (IoT) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) modules.
Those modules will be developed to solve real-world problems using the potential of our modular industrial control unit, working on highly challenging and stimulating problems to deliver new solutions using advanced robotic systems.
Job profile and competences
In order to candidate to this application, you are required to have a MSc in Control and Automation or Robotics Engineering. We are looking for a passionate, fast-learning candidate, willing to work in a stimulating and dynamic environment, with strong interpersonal skills. In addition, to best fit the job application profile, you should have experience in performing as many of the following tasks as possible:
- experience with sensors, actuators and electronic integration;
- deterministic and non-deterministic communication protocols such as EtherCAT, TCP/IP, UDP and CAN-based protocols;
- proven programming skills in as many languages as possible (C++, Python, Matlab and LabVIEW highly advised);
- experience in programming industrial anthropomorphic and mobile robots;
- experience in dynamic system modelling, robust control and machine/deep learning;
- experienced user of coding repositories and software certification.
Other competences:
- professional writing skills to rigorously prepare technical reports and presentations;
- flexibility in terms of work activities to be performed (we are a start-up and we all need to work on topics out of our competences from time-to-time);
- excellent problem-solving skills and good sensivity in keeping deadlines.
