Computer Vision Engineer - Autonomy

Role: Computer Vision Engineer - AutonomyEmployment Type: Full-time, On-siteLocation: El Segundo, CA (in-person only, no hybrid)Compensation: $200k - $300k base + competitive equityVisa: Not available - must be U.S. citizenCompany OverviewNeros Technologies is a defense-tech startup reimagining military drone technology for speed, precision, and autonomy. Their goal: replace costly, vulnerable defense assets with agile, swarm-capable drones that save lives by removing humans from the battlefield.Founded in 2023, Neros has $46M in funding (including from Sequoia Capital), a 70-person engineering-first team, and a vertically integrated approach - developing everything from radios and compute hardware to AI autonomy software.Role SummaryAs Autonomy Computer Vision Engineer, you’ll design and implement real-time vision algorithms for autonomous drones. Work spans from algorithm development to deployment in operational environments. You’ll collaborate with robotics, software, and hardware teams to deliver reliable autonomy in challenging field conditions.Key ResponsibilitiesDevelop & optimize real-time computer vision algorithms for drone autonomyImplement techniques for SLAM, object detection, and image segmentationIntegrate vision solutions with autonomous UAV platformsValidate algorithms in simulation & real-world environmentsEnsure system performance under real-time constraintsIdeal Candidate Profile3+ years in computer vision, robotics, or autonomy systemsStrong coding skills: Python + C++Expertise with vision libraries: OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorchExperience with SLAM and perception pipelinesFamiliarity with UAVs, drones, and embedded constraintsU.S. citizenship requiredCulture & Work StyleEngineering-first - high autonomy, deep technical ownershipFast-paced startup working on high-stakes defense applicationsHighly collaborative, on-site team in El Segundo, CA Role: Computer Vision Engineer - AutonomyEmployment Type: Full-time, On-siteLocation: El Segundo, CA (in-person only, no hybrid)Compensation: $200k - $300k base + competitive equityVisa: Not available - must be U.S. citizenCompany OverviewNeros Technologies is a defense-tech startup reimagining military drone technology for speed, precision, and autonomy.
