- Design and maintain high-throughput, scalable pipelines to ingest and organize large volumes of time-series camera and sensor data (RGB, IR, thermal, acoustic, depth, IMU).
- Own, curate, and continuously improve computer vision datasets for object detection and classification, ensuring high-quality, diverse, and statistically representative data.
- Build and operate active learning loops to prioritize high-value samples and accelerate dataset improvements.
- Write robust preprocessing and transformation pipelines using Python, NumPy, Pandas, and Albumentations for large-scale computer vision workloads.
- Manage labeling workflows, including automation, QA validation, annotation consistency checks, and dataset versioning.
- Collaborate with ML Engineers to fine-tune, train, and evaluate detection models, feeding insights back into data generation and selection.
- Analyze model weaknesses, blind spots, bias, and drift to derive actionable data improvements.
- Create internal tools and dashboards to visualize, audit, and analyze dataset quality, diversity, long-tail distributions, and model performance gaps.

Munich (DEU)
Full-time
Permanent employee
Your mission
Your profile
- Strong experience in Python and data processing frameworks (Pandas, NumPy, vectorized operations, multiprocessing).
- Hands-on experience building ETL/ELT pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and structuring large video and sensor datasets.
- Experience with data orchestration and lifecycle management for ML and computer vision workflows, including dataset versioning and reproducibility.
- Solid understanding of object detection pipelines (Detectron2, MMDetection, COCO format, bounding-box standards).
- Experience with active learning, uncertainty sampling, or semi-supervised dataset workflows.
- Familiarity with data annotation platforms (CVAT, Label Studio) and automated QA/consistency checks.
- Strong grasp of evaluation metrics for object detection (IoU, mAP, precision-recall curves, class-wise metrics).
- Comfortable with databases (SQL/NoSQL), file systems, and the management of large-scale image, video, and sensor datasets.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with perception, deployment, robotics, and data infrastructure teams.
- Fluent in English, German and/or French are a plus
Nice to have
- Experience with cloud storage and MLOps tools (AWS S3, MinIO, ClearML, MLFlow, Weights & Biases).
- Familiarity with ROS / robotics data formats (bag files, TF trees, sensor_msgs), Docker, or embedded ML workflows.
- Prior work with robotics, drones, or multi-sensor perception systems, including IR, LiDAR, radar, or audio datasets.
What else
- Outside-the-box creativity with a blend of conceptual and systematic design thinking.
- High intrinsic motivation, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving mindset.
- Structured, methodical, and reliable execution, even under uncertainty.
- Humble, collaborative, and mission-driven — values collective success over ego.
- High ethical standards and disciplined work ethic.
- Extra-curricular achievements, leadership, or unique projects are a plus.
- NATO-aligned nationality or close ally citizenship is required.
- Successful candidates must obtain security clearance.

Über uns
Wer wir sind: ein Start-up der Verteidigungstechnologie, das sich auf Lösungen für die industrielle Bildverarbeitung spezialisiert hat. Wenn Sie eine Leidenschaft für bahnbrechende Innovationen haben und Ihre Fähigkeiten einsetzen möchten, um Lösungen der nächsten Generation zu entwickeln, ist dies eine Chance für Sie!
Was wir tun: Wir entwickeln Lösungen, die es Computern und Sensoren ermöglichen, in Teams zusammenzuarbeiten, um neue Sicherheitsherausforderungen zu bewältigen. Unsere Hauptaufgabe ist die Abwehr von KI-gestützten asymmetrischen Bedrohungen in großem Maßstab, wie z. B. Drohnenschwärme und andere UXVs.
Wie wir arbeiten: Wir setzen auf eine hybride Arbeitskultur - wir schätzen die Zusammenarbeit im Büro, ermöglichen unseren Teammitgliedern aber auch die eigenverantwortliche und selbstständige Arbeit aus der Ferne.
Wo wir sind: Mit Sitz in München, Berlin und Toulouse expandieren wir schnell in ganz Europa und planen, bald weitere Büros zu eröffnen.
