Your mission

Join a multidisciplinary robotics team developing advanced autonomous systems where perception accuracy is mission-critical. As a Calibration Engineer, you will own the calibration and validation of the sensor suite used across our robotic platforms, ensuring reliable and precise perception performance in real-world environments.

Working closely with differents teams, you will improve calibration workflows, optimize sensor performance, and contribute to the integration of high-quality perception systems.

Your responsibilities :

Develop, validate, and maintain calibration procedures for multi-sensor robotic platforms.
Calibrate and optimize cameras, LiDARs, radars, and other perception sensors to ensure accurate system performance.
Analyze and correct camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, including lens distortion models and optical characteristics.
Investigate calibration-related issues and improve sensor accuracy, robustness, and repeatability.
Work closely with perception, robotics, and hardware engineers to integrate calibrated sensor systems into production platforms.
Develop tools and processes to automate calibration and verification workflows where possible.
Support system testing and validation both in the lab and during field deployments.
Contribute to continuous improvements in sensor integration, perception quality, and overall platform performance.

Your profile

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related technical field.
2–3+ years of hands-on experience in sensor calibration for robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, industrial automation, or similar high-precision environments.
Knowledge of ROS/ROS2 or robotics software ecosystems.
Strong understanding of:
- Camera calibration and lens distortion models
- Optical systems and imaging principles
- Multi-sensor calibration (camera, LiDAR, radar)
- Sensor intrinsic and extrinsic calibration
Experience working with robotic or mechatronic systems.
Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail and a precision-oriented mindset.
Comfortable collaborating across software, perception, and hardware teams.
Fluent in English.

Nice to have

Experience with autonomous robots, drones, or mobile robotic platforms.
Background in the automotive, semiconductor, or industrial automation sectors.
Experience with perception systems and sensor fusion.
Experience with Counter-UAS or defense-related autonomous systems.
Familiarity with computer vision libraries such as OpenCV and calibration toolchains.

What else

Builder mentality: you ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts
Hands-on ownership: you proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope
Field-driven mindset: you care about what survives real operations, not “lab perfect”
High quality bar: you aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering
Startup drive: you execute fast despite ambiguity, and adapt quickly
Mission alignment: genuine motivation to work on defense-relevant, safety-critical robotics
Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is required

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.
