About The Position

Awetomaton is seeking a Computer Vision Engineer to support existing customers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton, Ohio. The engineer will work with a small team to develop and optimize computer vision and image-processing algorithms that extract actionable insights from remote sensing imagery. The role applies computer vision, image processing, and GPU acceleration expertise using Python, C++, and NVIDIA CUDA to develop high-performance R&D capabilities. An active Top Secret security clearance is required. The position will largely be performed from WPAFB, with an anticipated December start.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline.
• At least three years of experience developing computer vision or image-processing algorithms.
• Experience working with remote sensing imagery, including electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), or other satellite-based sensor data.
• Experience implementing algorithms for object detection, segmentation, tracking, image registration, or feature extraction.
• At least one year of experience developing GPU-accelerated algorithms using NVIDIA CUDA, including implementing or optimizing GPU computations.
• Proficiency developing scientific and image-processing software in Python using libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, or OpenCV.
• Mastery of software configuration management using Git.
• Active Top Secret security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Master of Science in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related discipline.
• Experience developing and optimizing CUDA C/C++ kernels, including GPU memory management and performance profiling.
• Familiarity with GPU-accelerated computing libraries such as CuPy, Numba, or PyTorch.
• Experience with OPIR imagery processing, exploitation, or analysis.
• Expertise in classical computer vision, signal processing, or machine-learning techniques applied to remote sensing.
• Experience developing modular, reusable software using strong object-oriented software development practices.
• Experience with container technologies such as Docker or Podman, and GitFlow or GitOps workflows.

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize computer vision and image-processing algorithms for remote sensing imagery.
• Apply GPU acceleration, including NVIDIA CUDA, to computationally intensive algorithms.
• Translate research algorithms into efficient, reliable, and maintainable software.
• Support existing customers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
• Communicate effectively with peers and decision makers, and demonstrate initiative when guidance is limited or requirements are ambiguous.

Benefits

• Flexible time off totaling 36 days per year.
• 100% company 401(k) match up to IRS annual limits.
• Health plan through Blue Cross Blue Shield with a Health Savings Account (HSA); the company pays 95% of employee premiums, including family plans.
• Technology and wellness reimbursement of $3,000 per year.
• Annual profit sharing as a 401(k) contribution, dependent on company performance.
• MacBook laptop and well-equipped office spaces.
