Computer Vision Engineer, Senior

Essential Duties

• 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.

Requirements

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

Preferred Qualifications

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

Benefits

• Meaningful Early Equity : You aren't just an employee; you are a foundational owner. Your contributions directly drive the value of your stake in the company.
• Direct Roadmap Influence : Forget the bureaucracy of big defense. You will have a seat at the table, directly shaping our product and technology trajectory from day one.
• Mission-Critical Work : We don't build for "what if." We build systems the Department of War actively needs to counter immediate, real-world threats.
• The Builder's Playground : Work in a brand-new lab fully optimized for rapid prototyping, equipped with NVIDIA Jetsons, high-end scopes, and 3-D printers.
• 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 : We value results, not clock-watching. Take the time you need to stay sharp and recharge.
• Zero Red Tape : You report to the founders. You have the autonomy to make technical decisions that would take months of committee approval at a larger firm.
• Austin-Based Culture : Join an onsite team in Austin, TX, where we prioritize high-bandwidth collaboration and rapid field-testing.
• Relocation Assistance : We want the best talent in the room. If you aren't in Austin yet, we’ll help you get here, to make your transition to the Silicon Hills seamless.
