Responsibilities
- Own and develop core UAV 3D vision and situational-awareness functionality, including interception detection, collision avoidance, target acquisition, and GNSS-denied visual navigation.
- Shape and drive the short- to medium-term development roadmap.
- Develop real-time software in C++ for robotics, simulation, embedded, or related environments.
- Implement 3D reconstruction, photogrammetry, visual-inertial odometry, camera calibration, sensor synchronization, and GPU-accelerated graphics pipelines.
- Diagnose and correct sensor time offsets, jitter, dropped frames, and clock synchronization issues in onboard pipelines.
- Potentially serve as a project Tech Lead, guiding technical direction, coordinating implementation, and ensuring delivery.
- Integrate, deploy, debug, and flight-test software on UAVs where applicable.
Requirements
- Good understanding of and experience with modern C++.
- Experience with real-time software development, such as game, simulation, robotics, or embedded development.
- Experience with projective geometry, bundle adjustment, PnP, triangulation, feature description, and image matching.
- Experience building photogrammetry, augmented reality, robotics, or visual 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 inexpensive cameras and calibration drift in real-world conditions.
- Experience ensuring timestamp integrity and tight time alignment across sensors.
- 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 ability.
- UAV software integration experience, familiarity with current 3D vision academic literature, and experience with onboard constraints 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.
- Fully remote work is available with regular travel to Delft and flight-testing locations; when working in the Netherlands, employees may work from home two days per week.
- Opportunity to work with an international team on real-world autonomy, perception, and defence technology.
- Significant freedom, project ownership, technical responsibility, and opportunities for rapid iteration and international flight testing.
