Hardware and Software Engineers - San Francisco, CA

We turn cameras into sensors.

Everything branches from cameras as sensors.

Cameras have become the most capable, lowest-cost sensor in modern hardware. We work across that single horizontal and the verticals that branch off it, from perception ML and biometrics to factory-line calibration and security.

Machine learning & computer vision

The core of the thesis: turning camera input into reliable perception. We take machine learning and computer vision from the research lab to mass-market products, at volumes exceeding one million units.

Robotics & teleoperation

We design custom robotic hardware, not off-the-shelf integrations: teleoperation rigs that capture demonstration data for training vision-language-action (VLA) models, plus automated camera and sensor calibration and vision-guided systems built for the real world.

Data engineering & collection

Cameras generate enormous data. We run large-scale, real-world collection and the pipelines behind it: structured, validated datasets your models can trust.

Hardware & software QA

Validating camera-enabled devices across the full product lifecycle, from prototype to platforms used by hundreds of millions of people, with real-world stress testing that proves durability before launch.

Manufacturing & mechanical consulting

Getting camera modules built right at scale: custom test fixtures, production-line calibration and monitoring, and guidance from prototype through final quality assurance (FQA).

Security & biometric testing

Offensive security for camera-driven systems, including biometric and facial-recognition penetration testing that finds vulnerabilities before attackers do.

How we work

Data-driven engineering

At AutoRoboto, our designs are data-driven: every decision is grounded in sound engineering principles and real-world testing. With mechanical, electrical, and software engineering under one roof, we turn a camera into a dependable sensor and build the perception, data, testing, and manufacturing around it, from prototype to production. Let us take the hard, cross-disciplinary problem off your plate.
