## Description

For our office in Atlanta, we are looking for a Perception/Computer Vision Engineer starting as soon as possible.

Your Mission

As a Perception Engineer with a focus on embedded perception systems, you will play a critical role in delivering a real-time detect, classify, and track software platform currently protecting military bases, borders, government facilities, critical infrastructure and major public venues across the globe. You will work directly with camera data pipelines and embedded compute platforms to build robust, efficient, and scalable perception functionality.

You will contribute as a highly skilled individual contributor, and your work will be essential to ensuring that our CUAS systems operate reliably in real-world, resource-constrained environments.

Responsibilities

 * Full Lifecycle Ownership. Work through software design and architecture, all the way through deployment and live field trials. You will help maintain a constant feedback loop from implementation to test and evaluation to improve our product performance.
 * Counter-UAS Perception Adaptation. Tailor our perception stack to overcome environmental noise, clutter, rain, and low-contrast target profiles.
 * Hardware Integration. Integrate computer vision pipelines onto edge hardware for real-time inference and offboard control.
 * Algorithm Development. Code and optimize advanced algorithms for object detection, classification, tracking, target guidance, and target re-identification.
 * Multi-Sensor Correlation: Align camera-based perception outputs with ADSB, radar, and RF inputs.
