Computer Vision Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a Computer Vision Engineer to join our Perception team at Anduril Industries, where we develop cutting-edge perception systems for autonomous drones and unmanned sea vehicles in defense applications. While our team has strong capabilities in machine learning and real-time processing, we need a classical computer vision expert to elevate our camera integration, calibration workflows, and establish industry-standard best practices.

This role will collaborate across multiple teams, supporting ML engineers, system architects, and integration specialists by ensuring our perception systems receive high-quality, well-calibrated sensor data from diverse camera modalities.

• Design and implement camera integration pipelines for diverse sensor modalities including RGB, stereo, fisheye, thermal, and event-based camera
• Develop middleware and vision pipeline components that interface with our perception stack
• Work with hardware and program teams to evaluate and integrate new camera systems

• Develop and maintain calibration procedures for intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters
• Implement multi-camera calibration systems and camera-lidar extrinsic calibration workflows
• Design online and offline calibration methods for field deployment scenarios
• Apply geometric computer vision techniques including structure from motion and 3D reconstruction

• Implement robust image processing pipelines (filtering, augmentation, rectification)
• Develop feature detection, matching, and tracking algorithms
• Design optical flow and visual odometry solutions
• Optimize vision algorithms for real-time performance on embedded platforms

• Establish and document computer vision best practices
• Create reusable calibration tools and frameworks
• Ensure vision systems meet defense industry standards and requirements
• Conduct lab testing and validation of camera systems

• Education
  :
  Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field
• Experience
  : 4-6 years of industry experience in computer vision engineering OR Master s degree with 2-4 years of industry experience
• Strong proficiency in C++ or Python
• Hands-on experience with OpenCV and classical computer vision algorithms
• Deep understanding of camera models, calibration theory, and geometric vision
• Experience with multi-camera systems and sensor fusion
• Experience developing middleware and vision pipelines (ROS/ROS2 or similar)
• Familiarity with diverse camera technologies (RGB, stereo, fisheye, thermal, ToF, event-based)
• Lab experience with camera systems and optical equipment

• Rust programming experience
• Master s degree in Computer Vision, Robotics, or related field
• Experience in defense, aerospace, or autonomous systems
• Background in robotics perception for drones or marine vehicles
• Experience with real-time embedded vision systems
• Familiarity with defense industry standards and security clearance processes
• Publications or contributions to computer vision research or open-source projects
