Real-Time Computer Vision Engineer for Defense Lasers

IPG Photonics; Huntsville (AL); Vor Ort; USD 95.000 - 135.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

IPG Defense, a stand-alone business of IPG Photonics, seeks a mid-level Software Engineer - Computer Vision to develop real-time image-processing and tracking algorithms for defense laser platforms. You will work at the intersection of optics, sensors, and software, interfacing with gimbals and beam-steering hardware.

The role emphasizes GPU-accelerated code on embedded platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson) using CUDA and TensorRT, with OpenCV on Linux.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 3-7 years of experience in real-time computer vision or image processing (junior and senior candidates considered at the appropriate level).
• Proficiency in C++ and Python, with OpenCV on Linux.
• Experience with real-time, low-latency video processing pipelines, including color correction and optical-flow techniques.
• Experience with GPU acceleration (CUDA) for latency-sensitive applications.
• Familiarity with optical systems and sensor calibration.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Aufgaben

• Design and implement computer-vision algorithms for object detection, optical flow, and target tracking.
• Develop tracking and state-estimation pipelines (e.g., Kalman filtering, track initiation and maintenance) for maneuvering targets in cluttered scenes.
• Integrate vision pipelines with gimbals, sensors, and beam-steering hardware.
• Optimize GPU-accelerated code on embedded platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson, including CUDA and TensorRT deployment.
• Process EO/IR imagery to support laser targeting and feedback control, including camera calibration and sensor characterization.
• Build data, simulation, and playback tooling to evaluate algorithm performance against recorded and synthetic scenarios.
• Support modeling, field testing, and algorithm performance validation.
