Senior AI Integration Engineer; m​/f​/d

As an AI Integration Engineer (m/f/d), you will be a key contributor to our AI and perception stack, bringing advanced computer vision and sensor processing capabilities onto real-world unmanned systems. At Quantum Systems, we build intelligent aerial, sea and ground-based platforms that operate under real constraints - where performance, reliability, and seamless integration are critical.

Working closely with our AI/Computer Vision team, as well as experts from flight testing, ground control, embedded software, and electronics, you will take ownership of integrating and optimizing AI-driven functionality across the full system. This is not a purely algorithmic role—you will bridge the gap between models and deployment, ensuring they run efficiently on embedded hardware and interact reliably with sensors, gimbals, and control systems.

In a fast-scaling, engineering-driven environment, you will play an active role in turning prototypes into robust, field-ready capabilities, contributing directly to our mission of transforming decision-making through autonomous, data-driven unmanned systems.

• Integrate AI and computer vision components into embedded platforms (NVIDIA Jetson).

• Develop high-performance C++ software for real-time and near real-time applications.

• Build and maintain interfaces between sensors, gimbals, and control systems.

• Design and optimize low-latency networking pipelines (UDP/TCP).

• Work with ROS2 to orchestrate distributed robotic components.

• Develop and optimize video pipelines (GStreamer).

• Deploy, debug, and optimize software directly on embedded Linux systems.

• Analyze and improve system performance (latency, throughput, resource usage).

• Bring features from prototype (PoC/MVP) to robust, production-ready implementation.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure seamless system integration in real-world environments.

• Strong, hands‑on expertise in modern C++ (C++17/20+), including performance‑critical and multithreaded systems.

• Solid experience developing on embedded GPU platforms (NVIDIA Jetson).

• Strong background in embedded Linux environments (Yocto or comparable systems).

• Experience working with ROS2 in non‑trivial or production‑like systems.

• Good understanding of networking (UDP/TCP) and low‑latency communication.

• Hands‑on experience with GStreamer or comparable video streaming pipelines.

• Ability to analyze, debug, and optimize system‑level performance on real hardware.

• Experience bringing systems from prototype to production.

• Familiarity with Docker‑based workflows.

• We believe in the power of combined efforts: straightforward tech expertise paired with a customer‑centric focus.

• We are industry pioneers who are ambitious, bold, and visionary.

• We push limits, think outside the box and strive for technological excellence to shape the future of aerial data.

• We promise to be your runway for individual and professional growth.

• Company pension scheme: We support you so that you can already make provisions for later.

• Flexible working hours: With trust‑based working hours, you are not only responsible for your working hours, but also for your work‑life balance.
