Autonomy – Computer Vision Engineer

Who we are

Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.

As drones transform the character of warfare, Neros is delivering the systems the West needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter the adversaries of democracy. We’re hiring engineers, operators, and builders who want to move fast, take on extreme ownership, and get capability into the hands of warfighters in months, not years.

What you will be doing

The Autonomy Computer Vision Engineer will be responsible for developing and implementing cutting-edge computer vision algorithms to be deployed onboard Neros drones. This role involves designing, testing, and optimizing algorithms for real-time operation in autonomous systems, ensuring high performance and reliability in diverse environments. The candidate will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including robotics engineers, software developers, and hardware engineers, to integrate vision-based solutions into autonomous drone platforms.

You should have the following

• 3+ years of experience in computer vision, robotics, or related fields
