Computer Vision and Machine Learning Engineer

We are looking for a Computer Vision and Machine Learning (CV/ML) Engineer to develop and deploy intelligent perception systems for our autonomous drone-in-a-box platform. You will work on challenging real-world computer vision problems, from real-time object detection and tracking on embedded devices to advanced scene understanding and cloud-based inference. As part of a small, technical team, you will own solutions across our software stack, taking algorithms and models from prototype to deployment. This position is for an on-site employee for our Zurich office.
