Job description

Kaizen Resourcing are proud to partner with a leading autonomous defence technology company in Bristol.We are looking for a Senior Perception & Vision Systems Engineer to join the team.

You will work on advanced autonomous systems, owning end-to-end perception technology that enables the platform to see, identify and track objects in real time.

This is a hand-on role focused on high-performance computer vision and real-time imaging, working across the full vision pipeline from camera acquisition through to detection and tracking.

The role

• Develop and optimise real-time computer vision pipelines for high-resolution, high-FPS camera data
• Work with NVIDIA Jetson, CUDA, OpenCV and TensorRT
• Build and optimise GStreamer video pipelines
• Develop object detection and tracking algorithms
• Integrate MIPI, IP and thermal imaging sensors
• Work with camera interfaces, calibration and 3D coordinate transformations
• Integrate perception systems with ROS2
• Test and validate perception systems in real-world and simulated environments
• Work closely with software, electronics and wider autonomous systems teams

What we’re looking for

• Strong professional experience in Computer Vision / Perception
• Strong C++ and Python skills
• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson and CUDA
• Strong OpenCV experience
• Experience with GStreamer and high-bandwidth video processing
• Understanding of 3D geometry, camera calibration and sensor integration
• Experience with embedded Linux / edge computing
• Experience with object detection, tracking and ML-based vision systems

Nice to have

Experience with thermal/infrared imaging, multispectral sensing, UAVs, autonomous vehicles, defence, ROS2, MIPI/V4L2, RTSP/UDP or synthetic data/simulation would be advantageous.

This is an opportunity to work on highly challenging autonomous systems where real-time perception, low latency and reliable performance are critical.
