Job Description:
This role is for a Computer Vision C++ Engineer to support the development of real-time perception capabilities for Shield AI's autonomous systems.
The Computer Vision Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and integrating advanced computer vision algorithms into high-performance C++ software pipelines. The role will focus on building custom perception capabilities from the ground up, with an emphasis on real-time performance, reliability, and deployment in edge compute environments. This position is required to increase the team's capacity and technical depth in real-time computer vision, image processing, and applied machine learning.
The successful candidate will bring strong C++ software engineering skills, experience developing high-performance or real-time systems, and a deep understanding of computer vision fundamentals. They should be capable of translating research concepts into deployable software and comfortable working on bespoke algorithms rather than relying only on existing libraries. Experience with areas such as camera calibration, multi-view geometry, geospatial registration, 3D reconstruction, image rectification, sensor alignment, coordinate transformations, or target localization would be highly valuable.
The role will also support the development of geometry-based computer vision pipelines, including applications such as camera modelling, intrinsic and extrinsic calibration, image-to-world projection, geolocation from imagery, visual registration, and multi-sensor spatial alignment. Familiarity with photogrammetry, epipolar geometry, bundle adjustment, terrain or map-based registration, and deployment of geometry algorithms into real-time C++ systems would be beneficial. Candidates with a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Robotics, Computer Vision, Geomatics, Photogrammetry, or a related field would be well aligned with the technical needs of the team, though strong applied industry experience is also highly relevant.
