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 Perception 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 Senior Perception Engineer, you'll build core parts of SE3's perception stack, from object detection and tracking to semantic segmentation and depth estimation. You'll work closely with our perception leads, founders and autonomy engineers, testing your work on recorded mission data and in field trials. You don't need a career spent in computer vision: we care most about exceptional ability and a strong pull towards the field.\nWhat You’ll Work On\nDetection & Tracking: Build and improve object detection and multi-object tracking for our autonomous platforms.\n\nSegmentation & Depth: Develop semantic segmentation and depth estimation that give downstream autonomy a reliable view of the scene.\n\nData & Training: Prepare datasets, train and compare models, and choose approaches based on measured results.\n\nEvaluation & Replay: Extend our evaluation and replay tooling so improvements are measured on recorded data before they reach the field.\n\nReal-Time Deployment: Optimize models to run on onboard compute under real-time constraints.\n\nField Debugging: Analyze mission logs, reproduce failures and fix root causes until the system holds up in real conditions.\n\nCode Quality: Write clean, tested production code and review your teammates' work.\n\nYour Profile\nYou take ownership of problems from first idea to deployed result, and you learn new areas quickly.\n\nYou hold an M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics, Mathematics, Physics or a related field, with an outstanding academic record such as top grades, research assistant roles, awards or competition wins.\n\nYou bring 2+ years of practical experience at a high-calibre technology company, research lab or startup.\n\nYou have a strong interest in computer vision, shown through university courses, research, projects or work. If you studied it and want to get back to it, we want to hear from you.\n\nYou're a strong programmer who writes production-quality code.\n\nYou speak fluent English; German is a plus. Given the nature of SE3's work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to work on defence-related projects and, where required, obtain the relevant security clearance.\n\nEspecially Valued Bonus Skills\nPublications at CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML or ICLR.\n\nContributions to open-source computer vision or robotics projects.\n\nExperience in a robotics or autonomous racing student team.\n\nDeploying models on edge compute such as Jetson-class platforms.\n\nHands-on time with drones or other robots in the field.\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\nCoding / Algorithm Interview: (90 min): We work through a practical computer vision or perception software problem together.\n\nTechnical Interview (1 hr): We dive into your computer vision background, the systems and projects you have built and how you measure and debug model performance.\n\nTeam Dinner / Lunch: Meet the team and see whether it is a strong fit on both sides.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4707,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"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":["Robotic Software & Control Systems","Computer Vision","Navigation & Mapping","Drone AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T10:53:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":44,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/se3-labs-senior-perception-eng","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/se3-labs-senior-perception-eng.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T09:12:35Z","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":10172,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"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-senior-perception-eng"},{"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-senior-perception-eng"},{"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-senior-perception-eng"},{"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-senior-perception-eng\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fse3-labs-senior-perception-eng"}]}
