• Optimize real-time data transformation and feature extraction for autonomous decision-making in robotic platforms

• Implement sensor fusion architectures for mission-critical applications, integrating heterogeneous sensor inputs into a unified perception system

• Work on low-latency computing solutions for on-board AI/ML processing, ensuring efficient use of computational resources

• Collaborate with hardware and robotics teams to ensure seamless integration of software with embedded systems and edge computing devices

• Conduct rigorous testing and validation of algorithms in simulated and real-world scenarios to ensure reliability, efficiency, and robustness

• Provide technical expertise in C++, Python, ROS, and middleware communication frameworks for autonomous systems

Your Profile

• Strong expertise in Edge Computing, Sensor Fusion, and AI-driven data processing

• Proven experience in real-time data processing architectures and distributed computing environments

• Proficiency in C++, Python, ROS/ROS2, and embedded Linux development

• Knowledge of AI/ML model deployment on edge devices (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, FPGA, ARM-based platforms)

• Understanding of communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART) for sensor integration

• Ability to work in highly dynamic, mission-critical environments with a focus on performance, security, and reliability

• Eligibility for EU security clearance is required

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, AI, or a related field

Benefits and Perks

• Competitive salary and benefits package

• A shaping role in an emerging dual use company

• Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team

• Room for professional growth and development

• Participation in the company's success, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups
