## About the role

Seasats' vehicles operate in highly remote and often communications-limited environments. To complete persistent missions at scale, the vehicles must be able to perceive and reason about the world around them without humans in the loop. Seasats has built a reliable and increasingly intelligent autonomy stack incorporating onboard sensors and processing.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 4+ years on perception problems in fielded systems
- Deep experience processing real-time sensor data (especially camera, radar, and/or LiDAR) on embedded or compute-limited platforms
- Command of classical perception algorithms: clustering, segmentation, filtering, sensor fusion, and probabilistic tracking (e.g., Kalman or particle filters)
- Familiarity with modern computer vision models and comfort working alongside ML-based components
- Expert-level Python, with deep fluency in the scientific stack (NumPy, SciPy, OpenCV) and a track record of profiling and optimizing numerical code
- Solid grounding in 3D geometry: coordinate frames, transforms, and sensor calibration
