Computer Vision Engineer (Object Detection & Tracking)

ZeroMark

New York, NY • On-site

$122K - $143K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 15 days ago

Job description

About Us
ZeroMark builds AI-driven counter-drone systems that actually work in combat. No PowerPoints. No hype. Just field-proven technology that saves lives.
We've doubled year-over-year for two straight years, winning contracts that prove what we've always known: real innovation happens in the dirt, not in conference rooms. Our systems transform standard weapons into AI-powered platforms that detect, track, and neutralize drone threats-because a $200 drone shouldn't require a million-dollar countermeasure.
Here's what makes us different: ZeroMark operators don't build from behind screens. You'll validate tech from Blackhawk helicopters, train alongside Tier-1 units (who happen to be our coworkers), and test at legendary ranges from White Sands to the cliffs of Hawaii. When we say field-tested, we mean you'll shoot it, fly with it, and push it to failure. We don't tweet about changing the world-we're too busy actually doing it. Watch us in action here. Dark humor required, thick skin recommended.
If you want to make an actual impact-and have some unforgettable Tuesday afternoons along the way-let's talk. We're all about delivering practical, field-tested tech, not just theories.
What You'll Do
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Principal Computer Vision Engineer to join our team. This role is focused on developing and optimizing advanced computer vision algorithms for aerial object detection and tracking. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in computer vision, deep learning, and deep learning, with experience in the defense sector.
  • Contribute to the implementation of computer vision algorithms for aerial object detection and tracking.
  • Conduct research and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in computer vision and deep learning to ensure our solutions remain at the forefront of technology.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, hardware engineers, and data scientists, to integrate computer vision solutions into our defense systems.
  • Optimize and enhance existing algorithms for improved accuracy, efficiency, and real-time performance.
  • Analyze and interpret complex data sets to improve detection and tracking accuracy.
  • Help ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements in all developed solutions.

What You'll Need
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on computer vision and machine learning.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in computer vision and object detection.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, C++, and familiarity with relevant libraries such as OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.
  • Proven experience in developing and deploying machine learning and deep learning models in real-world applications.
  • In-depth knowledge of image processing, feature extraction, object detection, and tracking algorithms.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to think critically and innovate.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented, collaborative environment.

Bonus Points
  • Experience with drone technology and UAV systems.
  • Knowledge of radar, LIDAR, and other sensing technologies.
  • Experience in 3d perception or similar fields.
  • Familiarity with cloud computing platforms and edge computing.

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology with a significant impact on national security.
  • A collaborative work environment that values innovation.
  • Professional development opportunities and career growth.
