Computer Vision Lead

Lumyn has partnered with a venture-backed defence technology company that builds autonomous drone systems. They are looking to bring on a Computer vision lead.

The role

You'll lead computer vision across the company's drone platforms. It's a hands-on lead role. You set the roadmap and build the team, and you still write and ship code. Your code runs in real time on edge hardware, on a moving platform.

What you'll do

• Own the computer vision roadmap and tie its milestones to product releases.
• Build real-time detection and classification of objects seen from the air.
• Track multiple objects across frames and cameras.
• Develop visual SLAM and visual navigation for outdoor flight.
• Get models running on embedded compute fast enough for flight.
• Benchmark every change on real flight data and in simulation.
• Hire computer vision engineers and grow them into a strong team.
• Set the standard for code review and documentation.

What you'll bring

• A degree in computer science, robotics or a related field. A PhD is a plus.
• Computer vision you have shipped into a real product.
• Deep learning with PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Object detection models such as YOLO or Faster R-CNN.
• Multi-object tracking.
• Visual SLAM and structure from motion.
• Strong C++ and Python. ROS is a plus.
• OpenCV and CUDA, with real-time video processing.
• Experience leading engineers, as a team lead or as the technical lead on a vision product.

What's on offer

• €100,000 to €150,000 base, plus stock options.
• Hybrid working from Munich, or London
• Ownership of the vision team and its roadmap.
