Responsibilities

  • Own and develop core Fiducial Scout functionality including interception detection, collision avoidance, target acquisition, and GNSS-denied visual navigation.
  • Shape and drive the short- to medium-term development roadmap.
  • Develop and maintain real-time 3D vision and aerial robotics software for onboard UAV deployment.
  • Work with camera calibration, sensor timestamp integrity, time synchronization, 3D reconstruction, GPU programming, and graphics pipelines.
  • Depending on the project, serve as Tech Lead by guiding technical direction, coordinating implementation, and ensuring delivery.
  • Integrate and debug software in UAVs and real-world flight-test conditions when required.

Requirements

  • Good understanding of and experience with modern C++.
  • Experience developing real-time software in areas such as games, simulation, robotics, or embedded systems.
  • Strong familiarity with projective geometry, bundle adjustment, PnP, triangulation, feature description, image matching, and 3D reconstruction.
  • Experience building photogrammetry, augmented reality, robotics, or visual/inertial odometry solutions.
  • Experience with 3D Gaussian Splatting or derivatives.
  • Strong understanding of transform trees, pose representations, quaternions, and spatial mathematics used in game engines, computer graphics, and robotics.
  • Hands-on experience calibrating camera intrinsics and extrinsics, including practical work with inexpensive cameras and calibration drift.
  • Experience maintaining timestamp integrity and sensor alignment, including diagnosing time offsets, jitter, dropped frames, and clock synchronization issues.
  • Experience with GPU programming using CUDA or OpenCL and graphics pipelines using Vulkan or OpenGL.
  • Experience with AI coding agents and prompt engineering.
  • High autonomy, determination, and execution capability.
  • UAV software integration experience, familiarity with current 3D vision academic literature, and outstanding engineering or execution capability are advantageous.
  • Full-time availability of 40 hours per week.

Benefits

  • 25 vacation days per year.
  • Reimbursed travel expenses and a company laptop.
  • Flexible working hours and the option to work from home two days per week when based in the Netherlands.
  • Fully remote work is available with regular travel to Delft and flight-testing locations; other options include Delft or access to a future Munich office.
  • International team, substantial project ownership, freedom in implementation, rapid iteration, and opportunities to travel abroad for testing.
  • Preferred starting date is ASAP.
