Mecka is hiring: Mechanical Camera & Sensor Calibration Engineer in New York

Mecka, New York, NY, United States


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
