Senior Autonomy Engineer (Computer Vision)

Join Skydio, a leading drone technology company, as a Senior Autonomy Engineer specializing in computer vision. In this role, you will architect and implement algorithms that enable drones to understand their surroundings. You will work with a world-class computer vision team and have the opportunity to drive innovation and unlock new features for users. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in visual odometry, state estimation, mapping, and SLAM, as well as proficiency in C++.

• Architect and implement computer vision algorithms for drones, focusing on real-time estimation, mapping, tracking, classification, and detection.
• Research and prototype new approaches to enhance the performance of the vision system, and characterize and quantify its performance.
• Collaborate with a team of researchers and engineers to drive the development of innovative features that improve user experience.

• Hands-on experience with visual odometry, state estimation, mapping, and SLAM
• Ability to thrive in a fast paced, collaborative, small team environment
• Proficiency with probabilistic inference and 3d geometry
• Optimization for computationally constrained environments
• More important than specific domain experience is an ability to make the math, the algorithms, and the code all line up and work well on real world problems
• Solid software engineering foundation and a commitment to writing clean, well architected code
• Deep Learning - training data, neural networks, online learning
• High proficiency in C++
