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
