Responsibilities

  • Own the technical architecture for deploying computer-vision prototypes to aircraft, including embedded or edge inference, latency and power budgets, and an updatable runtime.
  • Integrate cameras and onboard compute platforms and define interfaces with other aircraft systems across ground, air, and road benches.
  • Build validation processes using reference datasets, metrics, calibration, regression tests, and reproducible evaluation methods.
  • Lead the introduction of new algorithms and sensors, including multi-sensor fusion and non-RGB sensing.
  • Set engineering standards for testing, reproducibility, model versioning, continuous integration, documentation, and code quality.
  • Guide and review the work of a junior computer-vision engineer.
  • Build and maintain annotated datasets, including frame extraction, labeling, quality checks, and training/validation splits.
  • Train, fine-tune, evaluate, and benchmark models and report results using clear metrics.
  • Implement and test algorithms from research literature in the existing Python codebase.
  • Integrate and diagnose video pipelines and models on target hardware and evaluate new sensors through data recording and integration prototypes.
  • Collaborate with certification, safety, privacy, and international engineering stakeholders to support aviation and GDPR reviews.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience shipping machine-learning or computer-vision systems to production, including at least one deployment on edge or embedded hardware.
  • Strong Python skills and solid experience with PyTorch, ONNX, and TensorRT or an equivalent inference-optimization stack.
  • Practical experience with detection, tracking, and multi-camera geometry.
  • Experience building evaluation pipelines involving datasets, labeling, metrics, and regression tests.
  • Comfort working with Linux and Docker and writing clean, tested, maintainable code.
  • Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or similar edge platforms, GStreamer, or RTSP video pipelines.
  • Familiarity with 3D reconstruction or synthetic data for testing and validation.
  • Background in a regulated or safety-critical domain such as aerospace, rail, automotive, or medical, with DO-178C, DO-254, or similar processes.
  • Experience with privacy-preserving video analytics, sensor fusion, or non-RGB sensors.
  • Negotiation-level English is mandatory, along with clear technical communication, documentation, autonomy, adaptability, and accountability.

Benefits

  • Fixed-term CDI-C contract starting as soon as possible and estimated to end around the end of February 2028.
  • Based in Toulouse with collaboration across Europe and an international partnership network.
  • Flexible hours, remote-work opportunities, and a shared open-space office.
  • Opportunity to work on a strategic aerospace connectivity demonstrator and develop connectivity and aerospace competencies.
  • Startup-style, agile, empowering environment supported by Airbus expertise.
  • Experienced, collaborative, inclusive, and diverse team culture with community bonding events.
  • Complimentary freshly ground coffee and beverages.
