Middle Data Science / Computer Vision Engineer

We are looking for a Middle Data Science / Computer Vision Engineer to join a team developing autonomous UAV capabilities. The role focuses on Computer Vision and Machine Learning for real-world autonomous systems, including optical navigation, object detection, and tracking. The engineer will work on algorithms, deploy to onboard computing platforms, and validate in simulation and flight tests.

• Develop and improve Computer Vision algorithms for UAV applications
• Develop object detection, classification, and tracking algorithms
• Work on optical navigation, Visual Odometry / Visual-Inertial Odometry, feature matching, image registration, and visual localization
• Train, fine-tune, and evaluate models using proprietary datasets
• Build and optimize real-time CV pipelines
• Optimize inference for edge platforms with limited compute resources
• Integrate DS/CV components with navigation, flight controllers, telemetry, and guidance logic
• Participate in simulation, bench, and flight testing
• Analyze failed tests and algorithm degradation, and improve robustness

• Middle-level experience: approximately 2+ years of practical Data Science / Machine Learning experience with Computer Vision as the primary specialization
• Strong Python skills
• Hands-on experience with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow
• Hands-on OpenCV experience
• Good understanding of modern CNN- and Transformer-based CV architectures
• Practical experience in several of the following areas: object detection, object tracking, classification, segmentation, feature extraction/matching, image registration, motion estimation
• Understanding of Computer Vision geometry: camera models, coordinate systems, camera calibration, transformations, and projective geometry
• Good foundation in linear algebra, probability, and statistics
• Experience with Linux, Git, and sound software engineering practices
• Ability to work with imperfect real-world data collected from field systems and flight tests
• At least an Upper-Intermediate level of English (spoken and written)

• Delivering high-end software projects that address real-world problems
• Surrounding experts who are ready to move forward professionally
• Professional growth plan and team leader support
• Taking ownership of R&D and socially significant projects
• Participation in worldwide tech conferences and competitions
• Taking part in regular educational activities
• Being a part of a multicultural company with a fun and lighthearted atmosphere
• Working from anywhere with flexible working hours
• Paid vacation and sick leave days
