About Arxlight

We’re a stealth mode company building lightning fast interceptors to save lives. Backed by a16z.

About the role

Perception Pipeline Development: Develop robust real-time Deep Learning and Classical CV algorithms for classification, and tracking (e.g., YOLO, Transformer-based architectures) of highly dynamic objects. High-Speed State Estimation: Implement Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) and filtering techniques to estimate target 3D trajectories and "Time-to-Go" under high-G maneuvers.

What they're looking for

  • Education: Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or Aerospace Engineering with a focus on Computer Vision or Autonomous Systems
  • Dynamic Vision skills: Expert knowledge of object tracking (KCF, SORT, DeepSORT) and the geometry of moving camera platforms
  • Real-Time Software: Proficiency in C++20 and CUDA for high-throughput image processing, and Python for training ML models
  • Mathematics: Deep understanding of 3D geometry, Kalman Filtering (EKF/UKF), and the physics of relative motion
  • EO/IR camera: Experience working with Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) or Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) sensors
  • Embedded Systems: Experience deploying models on NVIDIA Jetson Orin or FPGA-based vision processing
More about this role

Company Overview

We are a rapidly growing technology startup focused on delivering next-generation drones for security and safety applications. Our company vertically integrates hardware and software to create leading edge capabilities in the UAV space, with a focus on saving lives.

As a Computer Vision & Autonomy Engineer , you will be joining the team responsible for the design, development, and implementation of high-speed perception and autonomy stacks capable of identifying and tracking highly dynamic objects. You will solve the unique challenges of high-dynamic sensing , where relative velocities are extreme and the margin for error is zero.
