Job summary

korecv seeks a senior leader for Perception & Autonomous Systems to direct architecture and standards for its real-time C++ stack, including ROS2 nodes and processing pipelines.

You will remain hands-on about half the time, contributing to implementation, reviews and critical design work while guiding the CV/ML roadmap and model deployment strategies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision or a related technical discipline.
• At least 8 years of professional experience in modern C++ software development for high-performance or real-time systems, including ownership of complex systems.
• At least 8 years of experience in Machine Learning Engineering, Computer Vision, or deploying machine learning models in production.
• Proven track record of technical leadership, architecture direction, mentoring, and hands-on contribution.

Responsibilities

• Take technical leadership of the Perception & Autonomous Systems team: set direction on architecture and design decisions, define standards and roadmap for real-time C++ stack (ROS2).
• Remain hands-on ~50% of time: implementation, code reviews, and critical design work.
• Drive the technical vision for computer vision stack, combining classical CV with hybrid CPU/CUDA solutions.
• Oversee ML model integration: inference pipelines, quantization, deployment and training workflows.
• Shape software architecture of the autonomous vehicle stack, mentor engineers, coordinate with adjacent teams, and participate in field testing.

Job description

## Full descriptionThe future of mobility isn’t just coming; we’re building it. At the heart of our mission is the drive to bring Level 4 autonomous technology to Germany. Our in-house AI is paving the way for Europe’s first certifiable system, backed by a team of experts who have been innovating hand-in-hand since 2017. We don't just follow trends - we lead the transformation.TasksTake technical leadership of our Perception & Autonomous Systems team: set direction on architecture and design decisions, define engineering standards, and guide the team's roadmap for our real-time C++ software stack, including ROS2 nodes and processing pipelines. You remain hands-on (roughly 50% of your time), directly contributing to implementation, code reviews, and critical design work rather than stepping back into a purely managerial roleDrive the technical vision for our computer vision stack, combining classical computer vision techniques with hybrid CPU/CUDA solutions for computationally intensive perception and image processing pipelines. You'll make key architectural calls, unblock your team on hard technical problems, and personally implement core components where your expertise adds the most valueGuide the integration of machine learning models across the team - overseeing efficient inference pipelines, runtime optimizations such as quantization, and model deployment and training workflows. You will also shape the overall software architecture of the autonomous vehicle stack, including SOTIF considerations, mentor engineers on best practices, coordinate with adjacent teams, and participate in field testing and experimental validation activitiesRequirementsBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision or a related technical disciplineAt least 8 years of professional experience in modern C++ software development for high-performance or real-time systems, including experience taking technical ownership of complex systems or leading engineers through design and implementation decisionsAt least 8 years of experience in Machine Learning Engineering, Computer Vision, or deploying machine learning models in production environmentsSeveral years of experience in Data Engineering or the design of scalable data processing pipelinesProven track record of providing technical leadership - setting architecture direction, mentoring engineers, and driving cross-functional alignment - while staying hands-on and directly contributing to code and designStrong expertise in modern C++, software architecture, ROS2, and performance optimization, combined with solid knowledge of classical computer vision and image processingExperience with CUDA, GPU programming, MLOps, and inference optimization frameworks such as TensorRT or ONNX Runtime is considered an advantageStrong analytical thinking, a structured approach to problem solving, and the ability to guide an interdisciplinary engineering team while remaining a hands-on contributorFluent in English; knowledge of German is an advantageBenefitsGenuine team spirit: working in teams that drive change forward – no matter how complex and extensive the projects areFlexible working hours – with room for the realities of life (parenthood, caregiving responsibilities, voluntary work, etc.)Whether it's fashion, beauty, travel or culture – you'll receive numerous discounts through our partner Corporate BenefitsSocial relevance: We work on solutions that have game-changing qualitiesSubsidy for public transport ticketsYour professional development is important to us – that's why we cover the costs of further education and trainingExcellent transport links: attractive location in Wedding with very good public transport connectionsFocus on people: Our strength lies in our diversity. We respect each other for who we areWe particularly welcome applications from women and explicitly encourage them to apply for this position.At our new premises, we place great importance on getting to know one another and working together to drive our vision forward. Our international team is growing and working together on this exciting mission.
