About SPAICE

SPAICE is building the autonomy operating system that empowers satellites and drones to navigate and interact with the world – regardless of the environment. From GPS-denied zones on Earth to the unexplored frontiers of space, our Spatial AI delivers unprecedented levels of autonomy, resilience, and adaptability.At SPAICE, you’ll work on real missions alongside leading aerospace and defense contractors, shaping the future of space and autonomous systems. If you''re looking for a place where your work has a real, tangible impact – SPAICE is that place.About the Role

Satellites that detect and avoid threats on their own. Drones that collaborate in GPS-denied fields. Spacecraft that rendezvous with tumbling targets in orbit. All of these feats demand robust scene understanding from multiple sensors. That’s where you come in.As a

Computer Vision Engineer (Multimodal Sensing)

you’ll implement and refine perception algorithms that fuse cameras, LiDAR, radar, event sensors, and beyond. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with a top-tier team of CV scientists, you’ll translate cutting-edge research into flight-ready code for space and defense missions.What you might work on

Implement perception pipelines for

situational awareness, collision detection and avoidance, formation flying, surveillance and terrain mapping

across satellites and drones operating in GPS-denied, dynamic environments.

Build the

Perception stack of our Spatial AI

architectures, fusing visual, inertial, and depth cues for robust, multi-sensor scene understanding.

Integrate

sensor fusion and neural representations

to create dense onboard world models that run in real time on resource-constrained hardware.

Deploy

semantic scene understanding, visual place recognition, pose estimation, and monocular depth estimation

on embedded or edge-AI processors.

Collaborate with a top-tier team of CV scientists and cross-disciplinary engineers,

delivering well-tested, high-performance code into flight processors, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) setups, and real missions.

What we are looking for

M.S. in Computer Vision/Robotics,

or a related field.

Expertise in at least two of the following: multimodal perception and sensor fusion, neural representations, semantic scene understanding, SLAM / camera-pose estimation, monocular depth estimation, visual place recognition.

Strong software engineering skills in C++ and Python, including performance-critical CV/ML code on Linux or embedded platforms.

Familiarity with GPU or edge-AI acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT, Vulkan, or similar).

Demonstrated ability to deliver production-quality, well-tested code in collaborative, fast-moving environments.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with GPU or edge-AI acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT, Vulkan, or similar).

Experience deploying perception pipelines on resource-constrained hardware.

Publications in multimodal sensing/neural representations/SLAM for robotics or autonomous navigation in journals and conferences (e.g. CVPR, ICRA, ECCV/ICCV, NeurIPS).

Perks and Benefits

Competitive salary

commensurate with experience and impact.

Equity options

– you will join us at the ground floor and share in the upside.

Well-being perks

– access to premium gyms, climbing centers, and wellness programs.

Team retreats and offsites

– recent adventures include a half-marathon in Formentera and a Los Angeles retreat during Oscars weekend.
