About Us
We’re an ambitious defense technology startup developing intelligent autonomous systems for use in complex, contested, and GPS-denied environments. Our mission is to equip the modern warfighter with cutting-edge vision-based autonomy that works where traditional systems fail.
We move fast, test often, and work hands-on with hardware, software, and real-world data. If you thrive at the intersection of innovation, national security, and computer vision, we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Do
As a Computer Vision Engineer, you’ll be developing the visual intelligence behind autonomous systems deployed in the field. You’ll work on perception algorithms that enable real-time situational awareness, object detection, and semantic understanding under extreme conditions.
Your Responsibilities:
-
Develop real-time computer vision algorithms for detection, tracking, classification, and segmentation
-
Integrate visual odometry and perception into SLAM and navigation pipelines
-
Optimize models for deployment on embedded and edge platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, ARM, etc.)
-
Fuse visual data with other sensor modalities (LiDAR, radar, thermal, IMU)
-
Run field tests and collect/annotate datasets to improve real-world performance
-
Collaborate closely with autonomy, robotics, and hardware teams to deliver full-stack solutions
What You Bring:
-
Strong foundation in classical and deep learning-based computer vision (OpenCV, PyTorch/TensorFlow, etc.)
-
Experience with real-time vision systems and deployment in embedded environments
-
Proficiency in C++ and Python; ROS/ROS2 is a strong plus
-
Knowledge of visual SLAM, multi-view geometry, and camera calibration
-
Track record of working on perception systems in real-world robotics or autonomous systems
-
U.S. citizenship required; must be eligible for security clearance
Why Join Us?
-
Mission-driven team building critical tech for national security
-
Work on real hardware, not just simulations
-
Competitive compensation, early equity, and field-tested autonomy stacks
-
High ownership, fast iteration cycles, and a zero-bureaucracy culture
-
A place where world-class engineers solve hard problems with immediate impact
