Shield AI is hiring a computer vision engineer in Melbourne, hybrid, to work on real-time perception for autonomous systems. The job is to design and integrate computer vision algorithms into high-performance C++ pipelines, building custom perception from scratch for edge compute. The posting asks for strong C++ and real-time systems experience, computer vision fundamentals, and familiarity with visual SLAM, odometry, tracking, 3D reconstruction and sensor fusion; a Master's or PhD is preferred. Distinctive: bespoke algorithms rather than off-the-shelf libraries, and applied machine learning on constrained hardware.
