  • Support the integration of deep learning models into broader CV systems, working closely with AI experts.
  • Stay across current academic research and emerging techniques in computer vision and ML.
What You'll Bring:
  • Deep proficiency in C++ and comfortable working in high-performance real-time environments.
  • Strong experience writing custom computer vision algorithms, beyond just library use.
  • Solid understanding of computer vision, image processing, and machine learning principles.
Bonus Points For:
  • Experience in any of the following:
  • Object detection, target tracking, or 3D reconstruction.
  • SLAM, camera calibration, or behaviour analysis.
  • Automated video surveillance or other related real-time vision systems.
  • Familiarity with OpenCV and similar vision toolkits.
  • Exposure to deep learning for image classification, recognition, or sequence modelling.
  • Interest in combining deep learning and CV pipelines in real-time deployment scenarios.
  • Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Previous Defence experience is highly desirable.
Why Shield AI?
  • Build mission-critical vision and autonomy systems that make a real-world impact.
  • Collaborate with some of the best minds in AI, autonomy, and defence technology.
  • Hybrid role based in our Port Melbourne office.
  • Salary + equity for permanent roles, with a strong career development pathway.
