About the role

You will be at the forefront of advancing our computer vision capabilities by integrating cameras and algorithms to build our next-generation AI-powered detection, identification, and tracking optical systems.

You’ll collaborate closely with system engineers, machine learning engineers, and product teams to ensure our product is performant, reliable, and optimised for real-world defence applications. This position offers the opportunity to work on unique, mission-critical challenges where your contributions directly impact global security outcomes.

Responsibilities, Duties and Expectations

- Design, implement, benchmark, and optimise computer vision algorithms to enhance detection, classification, and tracking capabilities
- Develop and adapt software interfaces to support the integration of new camera models and configurations.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and ensure seamless integration of computer vision solutions

Qualifications, Experience and Skills

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

- More than 3 years of experience in software engineering

- Proficiency in C++ development, including multi-threading, unit testing, benchmarking, and profiling

- Experience programming in Python is required,



and familiarity with Golang is preferred

- Experience with computer vision libraries (e.g. OpenCV) or integrating AI models (e.g. ONNX, TensorRT)

- Experience integrating cameras or similar sensors (e.g., LiDAR, thermal cameras)

- Experience programming control algorithms for electromechanical systems is preferred

- Experience with edge computing or embedded systems for real-time applications (e.g. NVIDIA GPUs, CUDA, GStreamer)

- Experience modelling dynamic systems with mathematical representations using first-principles and system identification techniques is preferred

- Knowledge of object tracking algorithms (e.g., Kalman filters, optical flow) and/or control theory is preferred

- Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and workflow automation tools (e.g. GitLab CI, ClearML)

- Previous ‘start-up’ or ‘scale-up’ experience is preferred

- Robust problem-solving skills, attention to data quality, and effective cross-team communication

- An abundance of ambition and motivation to grow the company and compete with the big players in the industry
