Merlin is an aerospace startup building a non-human pilot to enable both reduced crew and uncrewed flight, aiming to solve some of aviation's biggest challenges.
Requirements
- Strong experience with computer vision algorithms (object detection, tracking, identification, SLAM).
- Proficiency in depth sensing and 3D reconstruction techniques (stereo vision, structured light, ToF, LiDAR integration).
- Hands-on experience with camera setup, specification, and calibration (intrinsic/extrinsic, distortion models, multi-camera rigs).
- Proficiency with computer vision libraries and frameworks (OpenCV, PyTorch/TensorFlow, CUDA).
- Experience developing in C++ and/or Python for high-performance vision applications.
- Strong understanding of camera hardware and imaging pipelines.
- Ability to design experiments, analyze results, and iterate quickly in a collaborative engineering environment.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement object detection and identification algorithms for real-time applications.
- Design and optimize depth sensing and 3D mapping pipelines, integrating data from cameras and other sensors.
- Specify, configure, and calibrate camera systems, including selection of optics, sensors, and hardware.
- Develop tools and processes for camera calibration, synchronization, and data acquisition.
- Fuse data from multiple cameras/sensors to improve accuracy and robustness in perception systems.
- Collaborate with robotics, controls, and systems engineers to integrate computer vision into robotic platforms.
- Conduct experiments, evaluate performance, and refine algorithms for accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
Other
- This position is based on-site at Merlin HQ in Boston, MA.
- We offer flexible hybrid in office schedules.
- We offer comprehensive relocation assistance.
- Merlin Labs offers an innovative, entrepreneurial, and team-focused startup environment.
- Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
