Deep Learning Engineer – Object Detection & Perception (m/w/d)

Your mission

• Build, adapt, and train neural networks for object detection and perception tasks using time-series data
• Implement perception algorithms that extract and leverage temporal context across multiple frames
• Design, implement and optimize custom loss functions, augmentations, and architectures
• Collect, prepare and curate datasets from the real world – no given Kaggle-style clean datasets
• Supervise data annotation by refining labeling guidelines and assuring adherence to them
• Evaluate and debug models using a variety of metrics and statistics (AP, Precision/Recall, mIoU, etc.) and videos
• Push models into production as part of an integrated multi-sensor system (camera, radar, IR, etc.)

Your profile

• Strong experience in computer vision and deep learning, with a focus on object detection (One-Stage or Two-Stage models like YOLO / FCOS / DETR / Faster R-CNN etc.)
• Experience with temporal models (e.g., RNNs or transformer-based tracking)
• Ability to modify and extend network architectures (not just use them)
• Hands-on experience in data collection, labeling, augmentation, training
• Proven ability to train from scratch or adapt to custom classes and data
• Familiarity with perception challenges specific to robotics, such as motion blur, lighting variation, occlusion, or limited compute
• Proficiency in PyTorch, Python, Git, Docker

• Experience with tracking algorithms (e.g., DeepSORT, ByteTrack, Kalman Filters)
• Prior work with non-visual sensors like infrared, acoustic, radar, or LiDAR for object detection and fusion
• Exposure to model optimization and compression (quantization, pruning, distillation)
• Experience in the domain of UAVs, familiarity with ROS

• Outside of the box creativity, conceptional & systematic design thinking, disciplined execution
• Servant leader mindset, placing team success over ego
• Highest moral standards and work ethic
• We value extra-curricular responsibilities and achievements in your biography
• Intrinsic motivation, willing to go the extra mile, attention to detail
• Fluent in English
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is a must
• Successful candidates will be required to obtain security clearance
