About the Role
Lead perception engineering for a defense technology team developing autonomous systems. You will own the perception stack, from detection and tracking to sensor fusion, and help ensure it performs reliably on real hardware in demanding field conditions.
Responsibilities
- Set the perception architecture for detection, tracking, classification, and sensor fusion.
- Develop ML models and training pipelines, then deploy models to embedded devices.
- Fuse EO/IR and other sensor data relevant to the system.
- Optimize real-time perception performance for embedded compute and latency constraints.
- Work closely with robotics, controls, and hardware engineers to deliver practical system capabilities.
- Mentor perception engineers while contributing directly to implementation.
Requirements
- At least 5 years building and shipping perception systems on physical hardware.
- Strong Python and production C++ skills, with experience in computer vision, detection, and real-time tracking on live sensor data.
- Experience deploying ML models on-device with TensorRT, ONNX, or equivalent, and optimizing for embedded compute and tight latency budgets.
- Experience building ML training pipelines through deployment and shipping systems tested against real-world targets.
- Background in perception, robotics, autonomy, aerospace, or defense systems; research-only or offline-only experience is not a fit.
