Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking an advanced computer vision engineer to design and optimize real-time target detection, tracking, and pose estimation for weapon sight systems on resource-constrained embedded platforms.

You will refine camera calibration pipelines, develop multi-sensor fusion methods, and balance accuracy with latency and power usage while collaborating with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams. A security clearance is eligible.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Strong understanding of fundamental computer vision concepts: camera projection models, image distortion, rigid transformations, multi-view geometry.
• Prior experience with geometric computer vision (SLAM, camera calibration, stereo vision, photogrammetry, or similar).
• Experience developing or deploying algorithms in resource-constrained or embedded environments.
• Good communication skills for effective collaboration across hardware, software, firmware, and manufacturing teams.
• Eligible to obtain security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop real-time target detection, classification, and tracking models optimized for low-compute embedded environments on Qualcomm-based platforms.
• Build and refine camera and sensor calibration pipelines for multi-sensor weapon sight assemblies, including thermal and electro-optical sensors.
• Develop pose estimation and localization algorithms using bundle adjustment, feature detection/matching, homography fitting, and multi-view geometry.
• Profile, optimize, and deploy vision models on constrained hardware, managing trade-offs between accuracy, latency, and power consumption.
• Create testing and evaluation frameworks, analyze field and production data, and establish performance metrics for detection/tracking under operational conditions.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing teams to integrate vision software into production weapon sight hardware.
