CV / ML Engineer (вакансія неактивна)

Київ, Варшава (Польща)

Swarmer is a Vendor-Agnostic Autonomy for Coordinated Robots. We develop AI-managed collaborative autonomy to make teams of connected drones and autonomous systems smart, efficient, and self-improving over time.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

As the Computer Vision & Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in advancing our core product. This position is hands-on, research-intensive, and focuses on developing state-of-the-art algorithms for drone swarm intelligence.

Your work will directly contribute to improving capabilities in object detection & tracking, SLAM, 3D scene reconstruction and other CV based approaches, ensuring the swarm operates with precision and adaptability.

🚀 WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Conduct advanced research on novel approaches in computer vision and machine learning to enhance drone swarm capabilities.
  • Develop and optimize neural networks for object detection, tracking, and classification in real-time.
  • Create robust CV systems for dynamic and decentralized drone operations.
  • Collaborate with the team to integrate CV/ML algorithms into existing software products and edge devices.
  • Evaluate and fine-tune models for real-world deployment in diverse and challenging scenarios.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and propose scalable solutions.

📌 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

  • Experience: 5+ years in computer vision and machine learning, with a focus on hands-on algorithm development and research.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Expertise in neural network frameworks (e.g.,PyTorch, JAX).
    • Proficiency in image processing techniques and tools.
    • Knowledge of photogrammetry, 3D geometry, epipolar geometry etc.
    • Proven experience in object detection, tracking, image retrieval, image segmentation, visual localization and/or mapping and other ML/CV challenges.
    • Strong programming skills.
  • Knowledge: Strong understanding of UAV technologies, autonomous systems, or swarm robotics will be an advantage.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and drive research from an idea to the production-ready solutions.
  • English B2+.

PREFFERED SKILLS:

  • Experience with real-time processing and low-latency systems.
  • Familiarity with drone platforms, hardware, and edge computing.
  • Background in robotics (control theory, working with sensors and filters).
  • Productization of ML models at industrial scale.
  • Experience in optimizing and deploying ML models to edge devices.

🌱 WE OFFER:

  • A chance to shape the core autonomy and perception systems at the heart of Ukraine’s defense tech ecosystem and its international expansion.
  • Direct impact in a high-stakes industry where your engineering decisions carry real-world consequences.
  • Professional growth through hands-on work with advanced UAV technologies and exposure to international best practices in autonomy, CV, and ML.
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package (insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off per year).
  • Benefits of the defense sector (reservation and related benefits).
  • Flexible remote work options (possibility to commute to the office if needed is essential).
