Shield AI is hiring a Computer Vision C++ Engineer in Melbourne to build real-time perception for its autonomous systems. The work covers designing and integrating computer vision algorithms into high-performance C++ pipelines, adapting learned detection, classification, segmentation and tracking models for operational imagery, evaluating false positives and negatives, and optimising inference on edge hardware. The posting asks for strong C++ skills, real-time systems experience, and computer vision fundamentals, with a Master's or PhD or applied industry experience. Distinctive: bespoke algorithms built from the ground up rather than off-the-shelf libraries.
