Senior Computer Vision Engineer

Senior Computer Vision Engineer

Berlin (Onsite, 5 days) | Up to €110k + Equity (VSOPs)

We're hiring for a Berlin based startup building the next generation of defense systems. Operating in stealth mode, this team is solving hard, real world tracking problems, not just detection in a single frame.

You'll own the tracking layer of the perception stack: multi UAS tracking, mostly from IR/thermal camera data, fused with laser range finder, radar and IMU inputs. The job is keeping stable, low latency, confidence scored tracks alive through occlusion, clutter and noisy real world conditions, then turning that into target state estimates for real time aiming and control.

What you'll be doing

• Building and improving multi UAS tracking pipelines, from track initiation through to reacquisition after loss
• Tuning state estimation and filtering (Kalman, EKF, UKF) for position, velocity, trajectory and uncertainty
• Solving IR/thermal specific challenges: low pixel footprint, weak contrast, thermal clutter, motion blur
• Fusing visual tracks with radar, LRF and IMU data alongside robotics and controls engineers
• Deploying and optimizing on NVIDIA Jetson/Tegra with TensorRT and CUDA
• Digging into real field data and failure modes to keep pushing the tracker's reliability

What you'll need

• 6+ years in computer vision, visual tracking or real world perception systems
• Solid hands on background in multi object tracking and tracking by detection
• Strong grasp of Kalman/EKF/UKF style estimation methods
• Comfortable with real world, noisy video data, not just clean benchmarks
• Strong Python and production grade C++
• Experience deploying on edge hardware (Jetson/Tegra preferred), with TensorRT/CUDA
• Able to work onsite in Berlin, 5 days a week

Nice to have: a background in defense, aerospace or autonomous systems, IR/thermal tracking experience, or experience fusing radar/LRF into a tracking pipeline.

What's on offer

• Up to €100k base plus VSOP equity
• Central Berlin office
• Real ownership on a fast scaling, mission critical product
• Holiday allowance, monthly voucher, public transport subsidy
