Job Description:
This role is for a Computer Vision C++ Engineer to support the development of real-time perception capabilities for Shield AI's autonomous systems.
The Computer Vision Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and integrating advanced computer vision algorithms into high-performance C++ software pipelines. The role will focus on building custom perception capabilities from the ground up, with an emphasis on real-time performance, reliability, and deployment in edge compute environments. This position is required to increase the team's capacity and technical depth in real-time computer vision, image processing, and applied machine learning.
The successful candidate will bring strong C++ software engineering skills, experience developing high-performance or real-time systems, and a deep understanding of computer vision fundamentals. They should be capable of translating research concepts into deployable software and comfortable working on bespoke algorithms rather than relying only on existing libraries. Experience with areas such as visual SLAM, visual odometry, target tracking, feature detection and matching, 3D reconstruction, state estimation, sensor fusion, or real-time mapping would be highly valuable.
The role will also support the development of tracking and spatial perception pipelines for autonomous systems, including applications such as visual localization, motion estimation, scene reconstruction, landmark tracking, map building, and perception-assisted navigation. Familiarity with SLAM frameworks, probabilistic estimation, optimization, bundle adjustment, feature-based and direct methods, and deployment of real-time perception algorithms into C++ edge environments would be beneficial. Candidates with a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Robotics, Computer Vision, Autonomous Systems, or a related field would be well aligned with the technical needs of the team, though strong applied industry experience is also highly relevant.
