Real-Time Perception Engineer for Autonomous Drones

Askari Defense, Inc.; Atlanta (GA); Presencial; USD 100.000 - 160.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Askari Defense, Inc. is seeking engineers to design, train, and deploy real-time vision models for autonomous systems used in defense applications.

You will optimize complex CV pipelines on NVIDIA Jetson hardware and integrate perception into our autonomy stack with ROS 2, delivering production-grade C++ for embedded edge devices. The role involves field tests, rapid iteration, and deploying models in challenging environments with tight deadlines.

Formación

• B.S. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field plus 1+ years of robotics experience or an M.S. in CS/Robotics/Computer Vision.
• Experience training and fine-tuning vision models (CNNs, Vision Transformers, detection/tracking).
• Proficiency in C++ for performance-sensitive systems.
• Hands-on GPU programming or profiling experience (CUDA preferred).

Responsabilidades

• Design, train, and deploy real-time vision models for detection, classification, tracking, and state estimation on fast-moving aerial targets.
• Optimize networks and CV algorithms with CUDA and TensorRT to hit low latency on Jetson Orin-class hardware.
• Integrate perception into the autonomy stack using ROS 2 and write production-quality C++ for real-time processing.
• Deploy, benchmark, and maintain models on embedded edge compute aboard autonomous vehicles.
• Join field tests and data collection, then iterate models within days.
