?We're Hiring: Computer Vision Engineer

?Location: Hubli, Karnataka

Experience: 2+ years

Domain: Embedded Linux | Computer Vision | Real-time Video

❗Freshers are not eligible.

❗Candidates must be willing to relocate.

About this role

You will own the software that takes video from day and thermal cameras on a remotely operated, stabilised platform and delivers it to the operator's handheld console. That covers low-latency video, target tracking, on-screen overlays and the operator interface.

This is not an app-development or IT role. Your software runs on embedded Linux hardware deployed in the field.

What you'll be doing

Build low-latency video pipelines for day and thermal cameras on embedded Linux

Implement and optimise object detection and tracking on edge compute platforms

Develop the operator console: live video, on-screen overlays, menus and system settings

Integrate range sensors, IMU and other sensors into the software stack

Build the wired and wireless data and video link between the platform and the console

Send tracking outputs to the motion controller with minimal latency

Implement camera calibration and alignment routines

Take part in system bring-up, field testing, debugging and performance tuning.





Mandatory skills and experience

2+ years of hands-on embedded software development

Strong C/C++ (Python is a plus, not a replacement)

Embedded Linux at device level, not desktop applications

OpenCV, classical tracking and DNN-based detection, deployed with TensorRT or ONNX Runtime

GStreamer or V4L2 video pipelines, with H.264/H.265 encoding

Camera interfaces such as MIPI CSI, USB, GigE or SDI

Understanding of real-time constraints, threading, latency and performance optimisation

UI development with Qt/QML or similar

Good to have

Experience with thermal cameras

NVIDIA Jetson or similar edge platforms

Yocto or Buildroot

Why join us

Work on real defence hardware that goes to field trials, not demos or PoCs

Own a complete subsystem from design to deployment

Work in a small team directly with mechanical, electronics and software engineers
