Venture-Backed Defense & Autonomy Startup
Up to 120,000 EUR
The Company
Developing Spatial AI technology uniting 3D computer vision with large language models.
Deploying next-generation autonomous UAVs capable of operating in degraded, GPS-denied environments.
Solving mission-critical physical automation problems across industrial and defence sectors.
Why Join?
Own the core spatial state-estimation and perception layer from day one.
High-impact environment with zero red tape and flat engineering hierarchy.
Direct equity participation, modern AI toolsets, and 31 paid days off plus team offsites.
The Role
A technical, hands-on role where you will:
Design and deploy real-time visual-inertial odometry and state-estimation pipelines.
Fuse data from cameras, IMUs, magnetometers, and barometers into robust pose estimates.
Build loop closure, map-based navigation, and re-localization algorithms for UAVs.
Optimize perception architectures for Nvidia Jetson and low-power edge CPUs/GPUs.
Analyze real mission logs, isolate sensor edge cases, and validate on replay pipelines.
The Essential Requirements
Strong background in Robotics, Computer Vision, or Aerospace Engineering (M.Sc./Ph.D. or practical equivalent).
Proven hands-on experience in Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO), SLAM, or multi-sensor fusion.
Proficient in C++ or Python/Rust within Linux robotic ecosystems.
Must be eligible for German/EU defence-related project clearances.
What Will Make You Stand Out
Direct experience deploying optimized perception models onto Nvidia Jetson edge platforms.
Background in GPS-denied navigation, LWIR thermal cameras, or terrain-relative mapping.
