Computer Vision Engineer
Full Job Posting
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Scene recognition: Develop algorithms to recognize operational areas, objects, and surrounding features, including recognition without dedicated visual markers.
- Visual targeting: Detect, locate, and track targets, and estimate their relative position, orientation, and motion.
- Dynamic reference positioning: Develop capabilities to establish and update visual references, including dynamic home or recovery locations.
- Moving-target tracking: Maintain tracking through movement, changing viewpoints, partial obstruction, and temporary loss of visibility.
- Vision and sensor integration: Integrate cameras and supporting sensors, ensuring accurate calibration, synchronization, and data processing.
- Environmental performance: Improve perception reliability across changes in lighting, weather, backgrounds, vibration, and motion.
- Data and model development: Collect and manage datasets, train and evaluate models, and refine algorithms using representative operational data.
- Localization and sensor fusion: Combine visual observations with other sensor inputs to improve positioning, motion estimation, and tracking.
- Onboard processing: Optimize algorithms and models for real-time operation within available computing, memory, and power resources.
- Control and mission integration: Interface perception outputs with flight controllers or relevant systems, including confidence reporting and handling of invalid data or lost targets.
- Testing and validation: Assess accuracy, reliability, and latency through recorded-data analysis, simulation, and practical testing.
- Technical documentation: Maintain traceable datasets, model versions, calibration records, test results, and operating limitations.
- QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline. A relevant Master’s degree or PhD is an asset.
- Minimum of 2 years of professional experience in computer vision, image processing, machine learning, or robotics.

- Proficiency in Python, OpenCV, and PyTorch or TensorFlow, with experience in dataset preparation, model training, and validation.
- Experience with camera calibration, sensor interfaces, and Linux-based software development.
- Familiarity with C/C++, embedded computing, real-time video processing, and model optimization.
- Knowledge of techniques for improving model generalization, assessing confidence, and detecting perception failures.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and technical writing skills.
- Experience with visual perception or navigation for UAVs or relevant systems is an asset.
- Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, Veronte, or comparable flight control systems, and experience interfacing sensor and vision-derived outputs through MAVLink or other supported protocols, are assets
