This is not offline research. Our algorithms run in real time on embedded computers, in the air, in conditions we do not control.\nYou will work across classical computer vision, camera integration and validation, calibration and optimization for constrained hardware. You will take your work to the field, fly it, look at the logs and improve it. Our platforms serve both commercial and government customers across applications including inspection, mapping, search and rescue and security.\nIf you like hard real world problems and short feedback loops between an idea and a flight test, we want to talk with you.\nResponsibilities and Duties\nImplement and optimize onboard perception algorithms for real time detection, temporal association and state estimation of dynamic objects from a moving platform.\nIntegrate new camera modules onto our platforms and validate them against real requirements: image quality, timing, latency and behavior in the conditions we actually fly in.\nBuild repeatable test and evaluation procedures so that camera and algorithm performance is measured rather than judged by eye, and comparable across units, builds and iterations.\nRun and improve camera calibration and sensor synchronization procedures, including multi camera and multi sensor setups.\nProfile and optimize pipelines for embedded inference against explicit latency, throughput and compute budgets, and evaluate or retrain detection models on real captured data.\nSupport field test campaigns. Take algorithms and cameras from bench to flight, work alongside pilots and integrators on site and close the loop on real captured data.\nOwn your deliverables end to end, contribute input into camera, lens and sensor selection, and keep the team informed on progress and risks.\nQualifications and Skills\nDegree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nExperience building computer vision systems, with exposure to resource constrained or embedded platforms.\nWorking knowledge of classical computer vision: feature detection and matching, optical flow, camera models and calibration, multiple view geometry.\nPractical experience with cameras as hardware, not just as a source of frames. Sensor and lens behavior, exposure, timing and what goes wrong when a new module arrives.\nProficiency in C++ and Python, with real experience in OpenCV.\nEvidence of taking a project from problem definition to something that actually ran on hardware, and comfort doing that in the field alongside pilots and real logs.\nNice to have\nCamera bring up below the level of a vendor SDK. MIPI CSI-2, USB or GigE, driver or V4L2 level work.\nExperience with ISP tuning, auto exposure or auto gain pipelines.\nExperience evaluating or retraining detection models on real captured data.\nState estimation and sensor fusion, visual inertial odometry or visual SLAM.\nExperience with ROS2, embedded inference runtimes, or aerial platforms such as PX4 or MAVLink based systems.\nBenefits\nFlexible working hours\nStock Options\nGenerous holiday allowance\nCompany pension plan \nCar parking \nEnhanced maternity & paternity leave\nMental health and wellbeing support\nLearning and development opportunities\nAbout Auterion\nWe are building the leading software platform for AI-powered autonomous systems for enterprise and government customers. Our team is supporting the most important missions and solving the most challenging problems.\nAt Auterion, we bring together the sharpest minds who love to solve the hardest problems. Join a vibrant team built on innovation, openness, and excellence, where you’ll be empowered to develop ideas, collaborate across all levels, and make an impact that matters.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3864,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotic Software & Control Systems","Drones & UAVs","Operating Systems","Military Drones"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-31T17:13:50Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":177500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":52,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T03:01:53Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/auterion-computer-vision-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/auterion-computer-vision-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T03:01:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4640,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54288},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54288"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fauterion-computer-vision-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fauterion-computer-vision-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fauterion-computer-vision-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/auterion-computer-vision-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fauterion-computer-vision-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3571378}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"auterion.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3571378},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
