Kaizen Resourcing are proud to partner with a leading autonomous defence technology company in Bristol. We are looking for a Senior Perception & Vision Systems Engineer to join the team.
You will work on advanced autonomous systems, owning end-to-end perception technology that enables the platform to see, identify and track objects in real time.
This is a hands-on role focused on high-performance computer vision and real-time imaging, working across the full vision pipeline from camera acquisition through to detection and tracking.
The role
- Develop and optimise real-time computer vision pipelines for high-resolution, high-FPS camera data
- Work with NVIDIA Jetson, CUDA, OpenCV and TensorRT
- Build and optimise GStreamer video pipelines
- Develop object detection and tracking algorithms
- Integrate MIPI, IP and thermal imaging sensors
- Work with camera interfaces, calibration and 3D coordinate transformations
- Integrate perception systems with ROS2
- Test and validate perception systems in real-world and simulated environments
- Work closely with software, electronics and wider autonomous systems teams
What we're looking for
- Strong professional experience in Computer Vision / Perception
- Strong C++ and Python skills
- Experience developing real-time vision systems
- Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson and CUDA
- Strong OpenCV experience
- Experience with GStreamer and high-bandwidth video processing
- Understanding of 3D geometry, camera calibration and sensor integration
- Experience with embedded Linux / edge computing
- Experience with object detection, tracking and ML-based vision systems
Nice to have
Experience with thermal/infrared imaging, multispectral sensing, UAVs, autonomous vehicles, defence, ROS2, MIPI/V4L2, RTSP/UDP or synthetic data/simulation would be advantageous.
This is an opportunity to work on highly challenging autonomous systems where real-time perception, low latency and reliable performance are critical.
