About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to serve as the “eyes” of our autonomous c-sUAS platforms. You will design, implement, and optimize the entire perception pipeline, specializing in low-latency, high-frame-rate processing to track small, fast objects with zero margin for error. You should be comfortable building models and systems from the ground up, moving beyond simply utilizing existing frameworks.

Requirements

• Strong background in C++ (for performance) or Python.
• Deep expertise in VIO, VO, and SLAM frameworks for real-time state estimation.
• Proficiency in OpenCV and image-processing modules in PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Experience with DNN inference libraries (e.g., TensorRT, TFLite, and others) for edge deployment.
• Hands-on experience building embedded CV systems for real-time applications involving small, fast objects.
• Deep understanding of camera calibration and 3D geometry.
• US Citizenship and the ability to pass a background check

Nice To Haves

• Prior defense startup experience.
• Security clearance or the ability to obtain one.
• A passion for building robots or engineering projects as a hobby.

Responsibilities

• Architect and Implement: Develop the entire embedded CV pipeline using high-performance Python and C++.
• Target Tracking & Sensor Fusion: Design and deploy robust multi-object tracking and sensor fusion algorithms to ensure high-fidelity state estimation of fast-moving targets.
• Object Detection: Utilize real-time models (e.g., YOLO) and CNNs optimized for speed.
• Embedded Optimization: Optimize code for low-latency performance on resource-constrained NVIDIA Jetson environments using libraries like TensorRT and TFLite.
• Geometric Vision: Apply principles of calibration, rectification, and 3D geometry to translate 2D footage into accurate 3D coordinates for fire control.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with robotics teams to ensure perception data is reliable for autonomous decision-making.

Benefits

• Meaningful Early Equity
• Direct Roadmap Influence
• Mission-Critical Work
• The Builder's Playground
• 100% Employer-Paid Premiums: We cover 100% of your medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums and cover 50% of healthcare premiums for your dependents.
• Unlimited PTO
• Zero Red Tape
• Austin-Based Culture
• Relocation Assistance
