About Alpine Eagle

At Alpine Eagle, we are a team of machine learning practitioners and robotics engineers, building the first airborne, swarm-based system to provide protection against the rising drone threat. We believe that recent conflicts have shown the malicious and disruptive potential of drones in both civilian and defense scenarios. In addition, we are convinced that the next step in counter-drone is air-to-air. We want to ensure that all governments and institutions that believe in personal freedom and the rule of law have cutting edge solutions to protect against this rising threat.

We offer a work environment that is inclusive and open, with a flat hierarchy, and a purpose-driven team. We want to reinforce a culture where great ideas can flourish, and great people collaborate.

How you will make an impact

As a Computer Vision Engineer, you will be instrumental in advancing our counter-drone technology. You will develop and optimize algorithms, train machine learning models, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver next-generation counter-drone solutions. More specifically, you will:
• Design and Implement Algorithms: Develop computer vision algorithms for counter-drone applications, such as object detection and real-time tracking.
• Data Collection and Training Pipelines: Create streamlined pipelines for data collection, training, and validation of machine learning models.
• Collaborate with ML Engineers: Work closely with machine learning engineers to refine and optimize models specifically for aerial scenarios.
• Integration with Hardware: Partner with the hardware team to ensure seamless integration of computer vision models with drone systems.
• Stay Updated: Keep abreast of the latest advancements in computer vision technologies and research, with a special focus on aerial applications.
• Code Reviews and Documentation: Participate in code reviews, maintain thorough documentation, and contribute to team discussions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. PhD is a plus.
• Proven experience with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or equivalent. Experience with CNN, Object Detectors and Tracking.
• Strong proficiency in Python and C++.
• Experience with OpenCV or other computer vision libraries.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms and deploying CV models in real-world aerial scenarios.
• A hands-on attitude and strong sense of ownership.
• You approach complex problems systematically and document your results.
• You are a team player. You win when the team wins.
