# Senior Computer Vision Engineer

The Opportunity This role owns some of the hardest perception problems in autonomous flight. You will develop computer vision systems for autonomous landing, targetless landing zone evaluation, and perception-driven navigation in real operating environments. Your work will directly impact how aircraft identify safe landing areas, operate in degraded environments, and complete missions reliably without prepared infrastructure. You will work across perception, sensor fusion, and flight systems to improve how aircraft understand terrain, obstacles, and environmental conditions during autonomous operations. The ideal candidate has experience deploying perception systems on real robotic, automotive, or aerial platforms and understands the challenges of reliability, integration, and operational performance at system level. You will work closely with autonomy, GNC, and flight operations teams to take systems from development through flight testing and operational deployment. What You'll Do: Develop and deploy computer vision systems for autonomous landing and landing zone evaluation Build perception systems for targetless landing in unstructured and dynamic environments Mentor junior pe
