Senior Vision & Perception Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Vision & Perception Engineer to architect and optimise our low-latency vision pipeline running on NVIDIA Jetson platforms. You will develop, tune, and extend DeepStream-based pipelines in C++, integrate differential-imaging workflows, and ensure end-to-end real-time performance.

You will collaborate with robotics, control, and embedded engineers and build the perception backbone that enables high-speed interception.

Tasks

Core Responsibilities

• Implement and optimize vision pipelines in C++ for low-latency object detection and tracking
• Develop high-speed detection and tracking algorithms on Jetson platforms
• Optimise TensorRT inference performance
• Profile and tune performance down to kernel-level bottlenecks
• Maintain GPU-accelerated development containers and CI pipelines

You want to help build Europe's resilience. You want to protect people and critical infrastructure - ultimately saving the lives of thousands.

You want to work at the frontier of high-performance autonomous systems., Your Profile

• MSc/PhD in Computer Vision, Robotics, CS, or similar
• Expert knowledge in DeepStream, GStreamer, and low-level video pipelines
• Strong C++ skills and experience with CUDA, TensorRT, or Jetson optimisation
• Strong background in modern detection models (YOLO, EfficientDet, etc.)
• Experience with ROS2 and multi-process robotic systems
• Comfortable with rapid field-testing cycles and high-ownership environments

Why CDDS

• Direct impact on a mission-critical technology shaping Europe's security landscape
• Fast-moving startup environment with high ownership
• Work with a highly technical, ambitious, and hands-on team
• Real-world testing, deployments, and customer demonstrations
• Attractive compensation
