Senior Perception Engineer - Computer Vision (f/m/d)

Job description

TYTAN Technologies

At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.

We are looking for a new team member who is eager to make a real difference! As a Senior Perception Engineer - Computer Vision, you will design, implement, and deploy end-to-end computer vision pipelines for UAV perception, from data collection to real-time inference on embedded platforms. This includes working with multi-modal sensors, camera hardware, calibration workflows, and integrating perception systems tightly with UAV hardware and autonomy stacks. You will test in real environments, iterate using real-world data, and collaborate closely with mission partners and engineering teams.

Your roadmap to make an impact

• Build and optimize computer vision pipelines for real-time onboard UAV processing.

• Configure, calibrate, and integrate imaging sensors (RGB, thermal, stereo, depth, IR).

• Develop, train, and evaluate deep learning models for detection, tracking, and classification.

• Deploy models on edge devices; TensorRT and NVIDIA Jetson experience is a strong plus.

• Apply classical CV concepts to complement DL solutions.

• Work with real-world data collection, annotation, and performance benchmarking.

• Integrate perception modules with ROS-based systems and UAV hardware.

• Collaborate with hardware, autonomy, and mission teams for field deployment.

Job requirements

Who you are

• Degree in Computer Vision, Robotics, ML, EE, or related field with 2+ years experience.

• Excellent Python, ROS and C++ skills.

• Strong experience with sensor fusion (eg. Kalman Filters).

• Strong experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow or similar deep learning frameworks.

• Strong ROS and OpenCV knowledge.

• Hands-on experience with model deployment; TensorRT/Jetson is a plus.

• Strong grounding in computer vision theory.

• GStreamer and camera streaming experience is a plus.

• Strong software engineering and Linux knowledge — Git, Docker, CI/CD.

• Willingness to travel for field tests and deployments.

• Proficiency in English; German knowledge is a plus.

Why TYTAN?

• Be the first to welcome the world into a deep-tech defense startup that is shaping the future of security.

• Work in a fast-paced, international team where your contributions truly matter and your impact is immediate.

• Participate in our success with stock options.

• Be part of something bigger in a mission driven company.

• Enjoy flexible working hours.

• Access to EGYM Wellpass sports facilities.

• All day coffee and snacks, team events, and a modern office in Munich.
