Senior Vision & Perception Engineer

You want to help build Europe's resilience. You want to protect people and critical infrastructure – ultimately saving the lives of thousands.

You want to work at the frontier of high‑performance autonomous systems.

Join us at CDDS to bring next‑generation control, guidance, and state‑estimation algorithms into high-speed kinetic interceptor drones.

We are looking for a Senior Vision & Perception Engineer to architect and optimise our low-latency vision pipeline running on NVIDIA Jetson platforms. You will develop, tune, and extend Deep Stream-based pipelines in C++, integrate differential‑imaging workflows, and ensure end‑to‑end real‑time performance.

You will collaborate with robotics, control, and embedded engineers and build the perception backbone that enables high‑speed interception.

• Implement and optimize vision pipelines in C++ for low-latency object detection and tracking
• Develop high-speed detection and tracking algorithms on Jetson platforms
• Profile and tune performance down to kernel‑level bottlenecks
• Maintain GPU‑accelerated development containers and CI pipelines

• MSc/PhD in Computer Vision, Robotics, CS, or similar
• Expert knowledge in Deep Stream, GStreamer, and low‑level video pipelines
• Strong C++ skills and experience with CUDA, Tensor
  
  RT, or Jetson optimisation
• Strong background in modern detection models (YOLO, Efficient Det, etc.)
• Experience with ROS2 and multi-process robotic systems
• Comfortable with rapid field‑testing cycles and high‑ownership environments

• Direct impact on a mission‑critical technology shaping Europe’s security landscape
• Fast‑moving startup environment with high ownership
• Work with a highly technical, ambitious, and hands‑on team
• Real‑world testing, deployments, and customer demonstrations
