Your work will directly impact mission-critical robotics applications, ensuring that our autonomous systems can process and react to sensor data efficiently in dynamic battlefield environments.
To join our team, you should be excited to
* Develop high-performance edge computing algorithms to process and fuse data from multiple sensor types (e.g., LiDAR, radar, EO/IR, GNSS, IMU)
* Optimize real-time data transformation and feature extraction for autonomous decision-making in robotic platforms
* Implement sensor fusion architectures for mission-critical applications, integrating heterogeneous sensor inputs into a unified perception system
* Work on low-latency computing solutions for on-board AI/ML processing, ensuring efficient use of computational resources
* Collaborate with hardware and robotics teams to ensure seamless integration of software with embedded systems and edge computing devices
* Conduct rigorous testing and validation of algorithms in simulated and real-world scenarios to ensure reliability, efficiency, and robustness
* Provide technical expertise in C++, Python, ROS, and middleware communication frameworks for autonomous systems
Your Profile
* Strong expertise in Edge Computing, Sensor Fusion, and AI-driven data processing
* Proven experience in real-time data processing architectures and distributed computing environments
* Proficiency in C++, Python, ROS/ROS2, and embedded Linux development
* Knowledge of AI/ML model deployment on edge devices (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, FPGA, ARM-based platforms)
* Understanding of communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART) for sensor integration
* Ability to work in highly dynamic, mission-critical environments with a focus on performance, security, and reliability
* Eligibility for EU security clearance is required
* Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, AI, or a related field
Benefits and Perks
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* A shaping role in an emerging dual use company
* Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team
* Room for professional growth and development
* Participation in the company's success, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups
