Job summary

CDDS in Schlieren (Zurich) seeks a Senior Vision & Perception Engineer to architect and optimise a real‑time perception stack for high‑speed interceptor drones. You will build, tune, and extend DeepStream pipelines in C++, integrate differential‑imaging workflows, and ensure end‑to‑end performance on NVIDIA Jetson platforms.

You will collaborate with robotics, control, and embedded engineers to form the perception backbone that enables precise, rapid interception and real‑world demonstrations.

Qualifications

• MSc/PhD in Computer Vision, Robotics, CS, or similar.
• Expert knowledge in DeepStream, GStreamer, and high‑speed video pipelines.
• Strong C++ skills with CUDA, TensorRT, or Jetson optimization.
• Strong background in modern detection models (YOLO, EfficientDet, etc.).
• Experience with ROS2 and multi‑process robotic systems.
• Comfortable with rapid field‑testing cycles and high‑ownership environments.

Responsibilities

• Implement and optimize vision pipelines in C++ for low‑latency object detection and tracking.
• Develop high‑speed detection and tracking algorithms on Jetson platforms.
• Optimise TensorRT inference performance.
• Profile and tune performance down to kernel‑level bottlenecks.
• Maintain GPU‑accelerated development containers and CI pipelines.
