Senior Computer Vision Engineer - Remote Role in UAV Technology

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to join our innovative team at Twentyfour Industries. This remote position offers the opportunity to lead the development of advanced perception systems for UAVs, enhancing their environmental awareness and operational capabilities.

What You'll Do

• Design and deploy lightweight, low-latency deep learning models for 2D and 3D object detection using frameworks like YOLO and SSD.
• Implement robust multi-object tracking (MOT) to maintain awareness of dynamic obstacles across frames.
• Build semantic scene understanding to distinguish traversable space, vegetation, and hard obstacles.
• Develop pipelines for depth estimation, structure-from-motion (SfM), and monocular depth cues.
• Work on occupancy grid mapping for 3D environment representation and downstream path planning.
• Implement visual odometry and SLAM to ensure precise localization in GPS-denied environments.
• Address challenging visual conditions such as glare, shadows, motion blur, and low-light scenes.
• Optimize perception models for embedded edge devices (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson Orin) using TensorRT, CUDA, and quantization (INT8).

Requirements

• Deep expertise in computer vision fundamentals, including epipolar and projective geometry, calibration, and photogrammetry.
• Highly proficient with PyTorch or TensorFlow, and OpenCV.
• Production-grade C++ coding skills and effective Python usage for prototyping and experimentation.
• Hands-on experience with visual odometry, SLAM, or visual-inertial systems (e.g., ORB-SLAM, VINS-Mono).
• Strong mathematical foundation in linear algebra, probability, filtering (Kalman / Particle Filters), and optimization.
• Ability to translate research ideas into robust, real-world systems on constrained hardware.

Nice to Have

• Experience with sensor fusion across camera, IMU, LiDAR, or radar.
• Familiarity with ROS2 for perception and autonomy pipelines.
• Experience working with thermal / IR sensors or event-based cameras.
• Exposure to synthetic data generation for training computer vision models.
• Background in robotics, aerospace, defense, or other safety-critical systems.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and equity options.
• A high-impact role shaping the perception systems of next-generation UAV platforms.
• Direct influence on core autonomy capabilities, not just incremental features.
• A collaborative, ambitious, and technically rigorous startup environment.
• Flexible working conditions, with remote work and relocation support for top candidates.

Join us as a Senior Computer Vision Engineer and contribute to the future of UAV technology. This remote position allows you to work from anywhere while making a significant impact in the field of aerospace technology.
