Your role

Together with the rest of the engineering team, you’ll be working on implementing the core functionalities of our software for full on-board situational awareness for UAVs.
This includes interception detection, collision avoidance, target acquisition, and GNSS denied visual navigation. Some activities could be (but not limited to):

Working on our in-house SOTA-beating visual odometry engine
Reconstructing 3D flight paths from camera detections
Implementing novel depth estimation methods for navigation

What we expect from you

Experience in 3D computer vision and 3D computer graphics
Good understanding of and experience with modern C++
Real-time software development experience such as game, simulation, robotics or embedded development.
A willingness to pick up and learn new concepts quickly and to self-acquire missing background knowledge.
A high degree of autonomy, determination and grit in making cool tech work.
Big plus: experience with GPU programming (CUDA, Torch) and graphics pipelines (Vulkan, OpenGL)
Big plus: experience with software integration on UAVs
Full time availability (40 hours)

While having the perfect background is nice, if you are able to present evidence of outstanding engineering and execution capability we are interested in talking regardless. If you are the right fit, we believe in your ability to pick up the required background knowledge on the fly.

What we offer

Money of course.
25 vacation days per year.
Reimbursed travel expenses and company laptop.
(Really) flexible working hours and option to work from home 2 days per week.
Working in an international, world-class team of engineers and entrepreneurs solving real-life problems with amazing technology.
Large freedom in how you work and implement solutions, project ownership is incredibly important to us.
The opportunity to take technical risks, to implement stuff the ‘right’ way and to iterate quickly with tight feedback loops. We are innovating, learning is to be expected.
Responsibility over the things you implement, you are the expert on what you build.
Traveling abroad to test the solutions you built in relevant environments.

About the company

We are a young but fast-growing deep-tech start-up with big ambitions at the frontier of autonomy, perception, and defence. Currently, we are developing software for advanced on-board UAV situational awareness in military applications. Using low-cost and widely available sensors and compute, our solutions are built for scalability. From there, we plan to develop a line-up of interconnected solutions to safeguard European safety.

Our team consists of engineers that are passionate about the technology and solutions they develop. The only time most of us are not thinking about the technology is when we are asleep, and sometimes even then. Our team members have a background in different fields such as Aerospace Engineering, Computational Science and Engineering, Robotics and Computer Graphics.

We work closely with top-tier partners, ranging from government agencies and prime contractors to academic research institutes and other start-ups. Our projects span from large tender orders in collaboration with partners to low TRL research with government agencies. Whether through formal R&D programs or rapid prototyping tracks, we operate at the intersection of innovation and deployment.
