About Mecka AI
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.
The Role
We're hiring a Mechanical Camera & Sensor Calibration Engineer to own Mecka's entire calibration pipeline: camera intrinsics to IMU alignment to factory calibration infrastructure.
This is a hands-on, deeply practical role. You'll work directly with cameras, IMUs, and multi-sensor rigs to ensure our capture systems produce accurate, reliable data at scale.
Your immediate task: deliver production-quality calibration values. From there, you'll take full ownership of calibration pipeline process across Mecka's hardware fleet.
Responsibilities
Immediate Priorities
Deliver accurate IMU and Camera calibration values (intrinsic and extrinsic) for production systems
Assess and improve current calibration workflows
Ongoing
Own the entire calibration pipeline — camera intrinsics/extrinsics, IMU calibration, multi-sensor alignment
Ensure factory calibration is performed properly, consistently, and on schedule
Build and maintain calibration infrastructure — tooling, fixtures, validation scripts, and documentation
Develop automated calibration verification and quality assurance systems
Work with hardware and embedded teams to ensure sensor mounting and alignment meet calibration requirements
Debug and resolve calibration-related issues across deployed systems
Who You Are
Required Skills
Practical, hands-on experience with camera calibration (intrinsics, extrinsics, stereo, multi-camera rigs)
Practical experience with IMU calibration and tuning (bias estimation, alignment, noise characterization)
Understanding of sensor fusion fundamentals and how calibration quality affects downstream performance
Experience building calibration tooling and infrastructure for production environments
Strong Signals
Experience in a manufacturing or hardware deployment environment with calibration at scale
Familiarity with OpenCV, Kalibr, or similar calibration frameworks
Experience with multi-sensor calibration (camera-IMU, etc.)
Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or AR/VR hardware calibration
Experience with factory/production line calibration processes
Knowledge of uncertainty quantification and error analysis
You Are
Extremely detail-oriented and methodical
Comfortable working with physical hardware — not just software
Able to design repeatable, scalable calibration processes
A strong debugger who can trace data quality issues back to root causes
Why This Role
Own calibration end-to-end at a company building robotics data infrastructure
Direct impact on data quality that feeds into ML and perception systems
Work with cutting-edge multi-sensor capture hardware
High autonomy and ownership from day one
Mecka is the data and deployment layer for physical AI — capturing, structuring, and evaluating real-world activity into datasets robotics and AI teams can train on.
