Responsibilities
Architect and implement the entire embedded computer vision pipeline using high‑performance languages such as Python and C++
Utilize real‑time object detection models (e.g., YOLO) and CNNs optimized for speed to achieve world‑class detection and object tracking capabilities
Optimize code for low‑latency, high‑frame‑rate performance on resource‑constrained embedded systems, with practical experience in NVIDIA Jetson environments and camera pipelines
Apply geometric vision principles (calibration, rectification, and 3D geometry) to translate 2D camera footage into accurate 3D coordinates for fire control and guidance systems
Collaborate closely with robotics and AI teams to ensure perception data is reliable for autonomous decision‑making and precise countermeasure guidance
Qualification
Required
Strong background in Python or C++ (for performance)
Expertise in computer vision libraries such as OpenCV and image‑processing modules in PyTorch or TensorFlow
Hands‑on experience building embedded computer vision systems for real‑time applications involving small, fast objects
Deep understanding of camera calibration, image rectification, and 3D geometry
This position requires access to export‑controlled information under ITAR. Only U.S. persons are permitted to access such information
Must be willing to submit to a background check
Preferred
Prior defense startup experience
Security clearance or ability to obtain one
Passion for building robots or engineering projects as a hobby
Benefits
Competitive salary + early equity
Opportunity to build systems the Department of Defense actively needs
New lab equipped with Jetsons, scopes, and 3‑D printers
Direct influence on product and technology roadmap
