Computer Vision & AI Engineer - Interceptor C‑UAS

About the role

Quantum Systems is seeking a Computer Vision & AI Engineer to drive the perception stack for their Counter-UAS interceptor platform. You will develop low-latency camera pipelines, small-object detection, and sensor fusion systems to enable autonomous flight under extreme constraints. The role involves taking perception solutions from research prototypes to flight-test-ready software.

Responsibilities

• Bring up, optimize, and maintain high-performance camera pipelines including CSI interfaces and latency reduction.
• Develop detection algorithms for small objects in moving and rotating camera images.
• Fuse inertial data and visual data to improve detection and tracking in moving sequences.
• Build object tracking pipelines for target acquisition and low-latency tracking.
• Optimize perception pipelines for embedded execution on NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
• Transform image-space detections into 3D direction vectors using camera intrinsics and extrinsics.
• Develop visual support for GPS-denied navigation and precision landing.
• Build and maintain data pipelines for annotation, training, validation, and benchmarking.
