We combine 3D computer vision, state estimation and AI to help autonomous platforms perceive their surroundings, know where they are and operate when GPS and other sensors become unreliable. Defence is a core application of our work today.\nWe are growing to a team of 100+ people. Join at a stage where you can shape our AI and Computer Vision Team, help build the team and grow your responsibilities as the company expands.\nOur founding team’s research has received more than 90,000 citations. You will work closely with technical founders and engineers with deep experience in computer vision and autonomous systems, turning that research depth into systems that work in the field.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Data and ML Engineer at SE3 Labs, you’ll take ownership of how we collect, organise, prepare and reuse real-world data across the company. You’ll work closely with engineering, hardware and testing teams to coordinate data collection, build shared data stores and pipelines, and establish clean, repeatable processes for preparing datasets. You’ll also develop machine learning workflows for training, fine-tuning and evaluating models, helping turn data collected across projects into reusable assets that support our work.\nWhat You’ll Work On\nData Collection & Coordination: Plan and coordinate real-world data collection with hardware and testing teams, working with sensors and pilots where relevant to capture data for specific project needs.\n\nData Organisation & Management: Build and maintain a shared data store, ensuring recordings and datasets are organised, categorised, cleaned and easy to find and reuse across projects.\n\nData Preparation & Labelling: Establish clear, repeatable workflows for preparing and labelling datasets, improving consistency and making data ready for machine learning and evaluation.\n\nData Pipelines & Processes: Build a pipeline for bringing new data into the shared store, taking ownership of the process from collection through preparation and making it usable across the company.\n\nUse Cases & Data Gaps: Work with engineering teams to understand project requirements, define concrete use cases, identify gaps in existing datasets and plan future data collection campaigns.\n\nML Training & Fine-Tuning: Develop workflows for training and fine-tuning machine learning models using real-world data, helping turn project-specific experiments into reusable models and assets.\n\nEvaluation & Improvement: Support model evaluation using prepared datasets, assess where additional data is needed and help improve models through better data coverage and preparation.\n\nCross-Team Collaboration: Take the initiative to coordinate colleagues, establish clear processes and ensure data collection and preparation efforts are aligned across projects rather than duplicated.\n\nBuilding for Reuse: Develop a shared library of datasets and perception models that engineers across SE3 Labs can use, reducing repeated work and helping accelerate future projects.\n\nYour Profile\nYou take ownership: You are highly organised, proactive and comfortable taking the lead, coordinating people and tasks, and putting clear processes in place. You follow through and make sure things get done.\n\nYou have hands-on ML experience: You have experience applying machine learning to real-world data, including training models using practical datasets. You understand how data quality and preparation affect model performance.\n\nYou bring practical data skills: You have experience collecting, cleaning, organising or preparing datasets, ideally from real-world systems or technical projects.\n\nYou hold a degree in a relevant field: You have a Master’s degree in Machine Learning, Data Science, Robotics, Computer Science or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nYou can work with data and code: You are comfortable using Python and/or C++ to work with data and develop ML workflows.\n\nYou are comfortable working across teams: You can coordinate with engineers and other colleagues, gather requirements, identify data gaps and turn them into practical collection and preparation plans.\n\nYou are hands-on and adaptable: You are happy to work directly with data, learn new tools and processes, and get involved in sensor integration and field data collection. Previous sensor experience is a plus, but not essential.\n\nYou communicate clearly: You speak fluent English and can work effectively with colleagues across technical teams.\n\nEspecially Valued Bonus Skills\nData Engineering & ML: Experience building data pipelines and workflows for training, fine-tuning and evaluating machine learning models.\n\nReal-World Dataset Experience: Practical experience collecting, cleaning, labelling and preparing datasets from real-world systems, rather than working exclusively with curated or synthetic data.\n\nRobotics & Sensor Data: Experience working with robotics, UAVs or sensor data, particularly where collecting reliable data in real-world environments presents practical challenges.\n\nInitiative & Project Coordination: A track record of taking ownership, coordinating people and projects, and establishing processes that others can adopt and reuse. This could include leadership in university projects, research groups or student organizations.\n\nEnd-to-End Model Development: Experience taking ML models from dataset creation and preparation through training and evaluation, with an understanding of how to identify data gaps and improve results.\n\nPerks & Benefits\nReal Ownership: Participate in SE3’s growth through our employee participation programme\n\nWork Environment to Excel at: Find a high-quality and modern toolset, flat hierarchy and a skilled, driven team which will push the limits together with you\n\nAI-boosted workplace: We empower every employee with best-in-class AI tools and agents, giving you unlimited access to the latest advancements and a true productivity edge\n\n31 Paid Days Off: 30 vacation days plus your birthday off\n\nWell-being Access: Free membership to gyms, yoga, and wellness through EGYM Wellpass\n\nTeam Offsites: We go on 2 company retreats per year, our last ones were in Italy and Greece\n\nMentorship: Work closely with experienced engineers and get paired with a professional mentor to support your growth\n\nOur Process\nIntro Call (30 min): Let’s get to know each other\n\nTechnical Interview: (45 min): Technical and team level conversation\n\nCoding Exercise (90 Mins): We dive into your experience with Data, Machine Learning, building Data Pipelines, robotics, and real-world debugging\n\nTeam Dinner / Lunch: Meet the team and see whether it is a strong fit on both sides.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6995,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Computer Vision","Navigation & Mapping","Drone AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T11:58:21Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-29T17:55:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/se3-labs-data-and-ml-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/se3-labs-data-and-ml-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T20:52:42Z","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":11107,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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":687743},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687743"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fse3-labs-data-and-ml-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%2Fse3-labs-data-and-ml-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%2Fse3-labs-data-and-ml-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/se3-labs-data-and-ml-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fse3-labs-data-and-ml-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3394733}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"se3.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3394733},"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.
