Job Summary
In this role, you will develop computer vision algorithms, integrate sensors into robust software architectures, and optimize AI technologies for unmanned systems in real-world applications.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As an AI Software 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, maritime and ground-based platforms that operate under real constraints - where performance, reliability, and seamless integration are critical.
- Working closely with our ML team, as well as experts from flight testing, embedded software, you will take ownership of integrating and improving AI-driven functionalities 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 a key role in turning prototypes into robust, field-ready capabilities, contributing directly to our mission of transforming decision-making through autonomous, data-driven unmanned systems.
- Bring Computer Vision algorithms from concept and prototype into production-ready capabilities deployed on real-world unmanned systems.
- Integrate sensors, gimbals, and payloads into a robust and scalable software architecture.
- Design, implement and test advanced Computer Vision algorithms that run on embedded devices.
- Work closely with ML engineers to integrate, validate, and improve perception capabilities in real-world environments.
- Improve system performance, reliability, and resource utilization on real hardware.
- Collaborate closely with Flight Testing, Ground Control, Embedded Software, and Product teams to bring new capabilities into the field.
