Senior Computer Vision Engineer - Perception

What You’ll Work On

• Detection & Tracking: Build and improve object detection and multi-object tracking for our autonomous platforms.
• Segmentation & Depth: Develop semantic segmentation and depth estimation that give downstream autonomy a reliable view of the scene.
• Data & Training: Prepare datasets, train and compare models, and choose approaches based on measured results.
• Evaluation & Replay: Extend our evaluation and replay tooling so improvements are measured on recorded data before they reach the field.
• Real-Time Deployment: Optimize models to run on onboard compute under real-time constraints.
• Field Debugging: Analyze mission logs, reproduce failures and fix root causes until the system holds up in real conditions.
• Code Quality: Write clean, tested production code and review your teammates' work.

Your Profile

• You take ownership of problems from first idea to deployed result, and you learn new areas quickly.
• You hold an M.Sc . or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics, Mathematics, Physics or a related field, with an outstanding academic record such as top grades, research assistant roles, awards or competition wins.
• You bring 2+ years of practical experience at a high-calibre technology company, research lab or startup.
• You have a strong interest in computer vision, shown through university courses, research, projects or work. If you studied it and want to get back to it, we want to hear from you.
• You're a strong programmer who writes production-quality code.
• You speak fluent English; German is a plus. Given the nature of SE3's work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to work on defence-related projects and, where required, obtain the relevant security clearance.

Especially Valued Bonus Skills

• Publications at CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML or ICLR.
• Contributions to open-source computer vision or robotics projects.
• Experience in a robotics or autonomous racing student team.
• Deploying models on edge compute such as Jetson-class platforms.
• Hands-on time with drones or other robots in the field.

Perks & Benefits

• Real Ownership: Participate in SE3’s growth through our employee participation programme
• Work Environment to Excel at: Find a high-quality and modern toolset, flat hierarchy and a skilled, driven team which will push the limits together with you
• AI-boosted workplace: We empower every employee with best-in-class AI tools and agents, giving you unlimited access to the latest advancements and a true productivity edge
• 31 Paid Days Off: 30 vacation days plus your birthday off
• Well-being Access: Free membership to gyms, yoga, and wellness through EGYM Wellpass
• Team Offsites: We go on 2 company retreats per year, our last ones were in Italy and Greece
• Mentorship: Work closely with experienced engineers and get paired with a professional mentor to support your growth

Our Process

• Intro Call (30 min): Let’s get to know each other
• Coding / Algorithm Interview: (90 min) : We work through a practical computer vision or perception software problem together.
• Technical Interview (1 hr): We dive into your computer vision background, the systems and projects you have built and how you measure and debug model performance.
• Team Dinner / Lunch : Meet the team and see whether it is a strong fit on both sides.
