Computer Vision Engineer

Drones kill and injure more than 5,000 Ukrainians per month—more than any other weapon. Our client is on a mission to stop that. They make hand-launched missiles to neutralize short-range air threats. Small enough to carry three in a tactical vest and affordable for all ground units, our micro-missile will be the smallest, most cost-effective guided missile ever deployed. Their goal: Turn the tide of war in Ukraine and provide NATO with a proven solution to drone threats. We are seeking a Computer Vision Engineer to join the founding team. You’ll develop and deploy real-time vision algorithms on edge hardware to track fast-moving aerial targets. Your work will include sensor and board selection, data collection, and implementing efficient classical CV techniques to meet extreme performance and size constraints. Responsibilities: Develop and optimize real-time optical detection and tracking algorithms. Deploy vision algorithms on edge hardware for low-latency performance. Design and execute data collection processes to train and validate CV models. Select and integrate sensors, processors, and IMUs. Collaborate with a team to ensure seamless integration into the missile system. Required Qualifications: Hands-on experience with classical computer vision methods and edge deployment. Experience with fast optical tracking and real-time systems. Understanding of sensor and hardware platform selection. Previous experience in data collection for CV applications. Willingness to work from the UK. Bonus Qualifications: Experience with missile, UAV, or aerospace systems. Knowledge of embedded systems and hardware optimization. Experience deploying solutions on FPGAs Willingness to work in safe areas of Ukraine. Passion for Ukraine’s defense. Startup or rapid R&D experience. Why Join Them? Impact : Develop technology to protect lives. Ownership : Lead the vision systems for a groundbreaking product. Purpose : Work with a team delivering frontline solutions. Compensation : Competitive salary and stock options (0-2%). They design based on soldier needs, not rigid contracts, offering agility to adapt and deliver where it matters most.
