Computer Vision Engineer

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential defense technology client based in Paris. They are building cutting-edge command and control systems deployed in real operational environments, where performance matters and every model decision has tangible consequences.

As a Computer Vision Engineer, you will tackle the most challenging perception problems in their stack—turning multi-source sensor data from satellites, drones, and other intelligence sources into actionable, real-time operational intelligence. Your work will ship quickly into production systems used by professionals who depend on accuracy and reliability.

Responsibilities

• Design and train deep learning architectures for object detection, segmentation, and classification across satellite imagery, aerial photography, and complex visual data sources
• Drive applied research initiatives by tracking state-of-the-art developments, forming testable hypotheses, and iterating rapidly on promising approaches
• Optimize models for production deployment, ensuring inference speed and robustness under real-world distribution shift and field conditions
• Collaborate closely with data engineers and software teams to transition research prototypes into production systems without compromising performance
• Engage directly with end users and domain experts to understand operational requirements and define what success looks like in practice

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• PhD in AI, deep learning, or computer vision; OR 5-10 years of applied research experience with demonstrable results
• Deep expertise in deep learning and computer vision—this is non-negotiable
• Strong proficiency in Python, Git, and PyTorch
• Hands-on experience applying Transformer and multimodal architectures to visual data
• EU citizenship (required for defense contract compliance)
• English fluency
• Strong collaborative instinct: ability to explain technical decisions, co-design with cross-functional teams, and own outcomes beyond just model performance

Preferred experience:

• JAX/Flax, scikit-learn, and NumPy
• Satellite, aerial, or drone imagery processing
• Model deployment in constrained or sovereign computing environments
• SQL and PostgreSQL
• Defense, dual-use, or operational technology sectors
• Geospatial data processing
