Fiducial is a young but fast-growing deep-tech start-up with big ambitions at the frontier of autonomy, perception, and defence. We develop and deploy software for on-board UAV 3D vision in military applications. Our software solutions are built for scalability first, using low-cost and widely available sensors and compute.
Job Responsibility:
Implementing the core functionalities of Fiducial Scout: our software for full on-board situational awareness for UAVs. This includes interception detection, collision avoidance, target acquisition, and GNSS denied visual navigation
Requirements:
Good understanding of, and experience with, modern C++
Real-time software development experience such as game, simulation, robotics or embedded development
Second-nature familiarity with 3D reconstruction concepts: projective geometry, bundle adjustment, PnP, triangulation, feature description, image matching. Experience with building photogrammetry, augmented reality, robotics or visual (inertial) odometry (VIO) solutions
Experience with 3D Gaussian Splatting or derivatives
Deep intuition for transform trees and pose representations used in game engines, computer graphics, and robotics
Hands-on experience calibrating camera intrinsics/extrinsics
Experience ensuring timestamp integrity and tight time alignment across sensors
A high degree of autonomy, determination and grit in making cool tech work
Full time availability (40 hours)
Nice to have:
Big plus: experience with GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL) and graphics pipelines (Vulkan, OpenGL)
Big plus: Experience integrating software on UAVs (onboard constraints, deployment/debugging in flight-test conditions)
Big plus: awareness of the zeitgeist in the current 3D vision academic literature
