Computer Vision Engineer

The role

You will implement and refine perception algorithms that fuse cameras, LiDAR, radar, and event sensors. You will translate research into flight-ready code for space and defense missions.

What you will do

• Implement perception pipelines for situational awareness, collision detection, formation flying, surveillance and terrain mapping.
• Build the Perception stack of Spatial AI architectures by fusing visual, inertial, and depth cues.
• Integrate sensor fusion and neural representations to create dense onboard world models.
• Deploy semantic scene understanding, visual place recognition, pose estimation, and monocular depth estimation on embedded or edge-AI processors.
• Collaborate with CV scientists and cross-disciplinary engineers.
• Deliver well-tested, high-performance code into flight processors, HIL and SIL setups, and real missions.

Required qualifications

• M.S. in Computer Vision/Robotics, or a related field.
• Expertise in at least two of the following: multimodal perception & sensor fusion, neural representations, semantic scene understanding, SLAM / camera-pose estimation, monocular depth estimation, visu
• Strong software engineering skills in C++ and Python, including performance-critical CV/ML code on Linux or embedded platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver production-quality, well-tested code in collaborative, fast-moving environments.

Nice to have

• Industry placements/working experience.
• Familiarity with GPU or edge-AI acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT, Vulkan, or similar).
• Experience deploying perception pipelines on resource-constrained hardware.
• Publications in multimodal sensing/neural representations/SLAM for robotics or autonomous navigation in journals and conferences (e.g. CVPR, ICRA, ECCV/ICCV, NeurIPS).

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and impact.
• Equity options
• Access to premium gyms, climbing centers, and wellness programs.
• Team retreats & offsites
