Job Description:
Join Shield AI’s Hivemind SDK State Estimation & Vision team to build deep learning capabilities that help autonomous systems understand their motion and localize in the world when GPS is unavailable or unreliable.
You will work at the intersection of deep learning, 3D computer vision, and geometric estimation, developing learned components for vision-based navigation. You will own the model development pipeline—from selecting tools, defining annotation needs, and cleaning data through training, evaluation, integration support, and deployment recommendations.
Hands-on experience with Deep Learning and 3D computer vision and geometry is required; prior experience specifically in vision-based navigation is optional.
