Job description
NewSpace Research and Technologies is hiring a Senior Engineer, Computer Vision and Machine Learning — a full-time, based in Bangalore, India role. Apply directly on NewSpace Research and Technologies's careers page below.
Sr. Engineer III - CVML
Location: Bangalore, India
Department: Computer Vision
Experience: 6
Skills: Autonomous Navigation Algorithms., NonLinear Optimization, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, ROS (Robot Operating System), Optimization Technique - Gradient-based methods, Robotics simulation software : Gazebo, V-REP, or Unity3D
What this Role Offers
- Technical ownership of classical CV and learning-based visual navigation systems for autonomous UAVs operating in GNSS-degraded and denied environments
- Opportunity to define the architecture connecting perception, state estimation, embedded computing and flight systems
- Research and product-development responsibility across EO, IR, inertial, radar and RF-derived information
- Ownership of dataset strategy, mathematical correctness, uncertainty modelling and system-level validation
- Opportunity to lead embedded deployment on resource-constrained computing platforms
- Technical leadership across computer vision, machine learning, navigation, estimation and sensor-integration teams
About the Role:
The Senior Computer Vision & Machine Learning Engineer is a senior hands-on technical role responsible for architecting and delivering learning-based visual navigation and resilient-PNT capabilities.
The engineer will own the technical direction for learned local features, day-night adaptation, geometric vision, vision-aided localization, navigation-ready perception outputs, camera-IMU integration and embedded ML optimization.
The role also includes developing multimodal navigation capabilities and statistical(-learning) methods for quality determination.
The engineer must be able to connect ML performance with geometry, uncertainty, navigation integrity, embedded constraints and field behaviour. This role requires system-level accountability in addition to algorithm development.
Key Responsibilities:
- Visual-Navigation Architecture
- Learned Local Features and Matching
- EO/IR Data and Model Strategy
- Geometric Vision and Mathematical Review
- Navigation-Ready Perception and Integrity
- Time Synchronization, Calibration, nadir and oblique operation
- Embedded ML and System Co-Design
- Multimodal ML
- Technical Leadership and Validation
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree in Robotics, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- 6+ years (Bachelor’s) or 5+ years (Master’s) or 1+ years (PhD) or more years of relevant experience; demonstrated architecture ownership and technical depth are more important than a strict year count
- Strong Python, C++, and ROS proficiency
- Advanced practical experience with modern deep-learning frameworks and computer-vision libraries
- Demonstrated experience building visual localization such as visual-inertial odometry, SLAM, scene matching or closely related navigation systems
- Deep understanding of camera models, multi-view geometry, robust pose estimation and nonlinear optimization
- Experience designing datasets and training or adapting models using domain-specific imagery
- Experience defining coordinate frames, timestamps, uncertainty and health interfaces for downstream estimation systems
- Experience deploying CV/ML pipelines on embedded or edge-computing platforms
- Strong applied foundations in linear algebra, probability, statistics, optimization and numerical methods.
- Demonstrated ownership of technical architecture, validation strategy and field-deployed systems
- Ability to mentor engineers and lead cross-functional technical decisions
Mathematical Expectations
Candidates must be capable of applying and reviewing:
- Matrix factorization, eigenvalue problems, SVD and numerical conditioning
- Least squares, weighted least squares, convex and nonlinear optimization
- Rotation matrices, quaternions, SE(3) transformations and Jacobians
- Bayesian estimation, conditional probability and probabilistic graphical reasoning
- Covariance modelling, cross-covariance and uncertainty propagation
- Hypothesis testing, likelihood-ratio testing and confidence calibration
- Sequential methods, change detection and time-series analysis
- Information-based experiment design and observability
- Statistical consistency and false-alarm/detection-probability analysis
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with aerial EO, thermal/IR or satellite imagery
- Experience with learned local-feature systems
- Experience with radar-camera-imu calibration or multimodal sensor fusion
- Experience with PyTorch, OpenCV, ONNX, TensorRT, CUDA and NVIDIA profiling tools
- Experience with ROS or ROS 2, Docker and production ML pipelines
- Experience with resource-constrained ARM systems
- Experience with ArduPilot, PX4, MAVLink or autonomous UAV flight stacks
- Experience developing or integrating Kalman filters, factor graphs or nonlinear estimators
- Experience conducting UAV flight tests and defining system-level qualification criteria
- Publications, patents or demonstrated research contributions in visual navigation, multimodal learning or resilient PNT
Additional Considerations for PhD Graduates
Candidates with a PhD may be considered for an enhanced designation or role variant (e.g., Lead Engineer) based on:
- Depth of thesis/research experience in robotics, UAV autonomy, perception, or control systems
- Demonstrated hands-on work in VIO, SLAM, sensor fusion, or advanced multimodal sensor-fusion workflows
- Internships or lab experience involving UAV testing, system integration, and computer vision pipelines
- Ability to take ownership of specific subsystem modules or small projects early in their tenure
- Strong publication track record (IEEE Transactions, ICRA, IROS, CoRL, CVPR, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR)
Working Hours
- Standard working hours are 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday to Friday
- Field-testing activities may require early-morning or extended hours, depending on mission requirements.
Compensation Range
- Competitive compensation aligned with industry standards, including performance-based incentives
- Exact salary ranges will be customised according to experience
Benefits
- Comprehensive health insurance
- Professional development support
- Detachment allowance
