Senior Vision & Perception Engineer

About the role

CDDS is looking for a Senior Vision & Perception Engineer to architect and optimise its low-latency vision pipeline running on NVIDIA Jetson platforms. The engineer develops, tunes and extends DeepStream-based pipelines in C++, integrates differential-imaging workflows and ensures end-to-end real-time performance, collaborating with robotics, control and embedded engineers to build the perception backbone for high-speed interception.

Key responsibilities

• Implement and optimise vision pipelines in C++ for low-latency object detection and tracking
• Develop high-speed detection and tracking algorithms on Jetson platforms
• Optimise TensorRT inference performance
• Profile and tune performance down to kernel-level bottlenecks
• Maintain GPU-accelerated development containers and CI pipelines

Required profile

• MSc/PhD in Computer Vision, Robotics, CS or similar
• Strong background in modern detection models such as YOLO and EfficientDet
• Experience with ROS2 and multi-process robotic systems
• Comfortable with rapid field-testing cycles and high-ownership environments

Required skills

• Deep knowledge of DeepStream, GStreamer and low-level video pipelines
• Strong C++ skills
• Experience with CUDA, TensorRT or Jetson optimisation

What we offer

• A direct impact on a mission-critical technology shaping Europe's security landscape
• A fast-moving startup environment with high ownership
• A highly technical, ambitious and hands-on team
• Real-world testing, deployments and customer demonstrations
• Attractive compensation

The position is based on-site in Schlieren (Zürich), with an immediate start.
