Staff AI Research Engineer - 3D Computer Vision

Helsing is hiring a Staff AI Research Engineer to develop computer vision capabilities for scene understanding and localisation. The role builds and evaluates systems for scene matching, geo-registration, SLAM, and 3D reconstruction, adapting them to real-world operational and hardware constraints.

Responsibilities:

• Developing and benchmarking scene matching and geo-registration pipelines robust to challenging conditions such as changes in illumination, viewpoint, season, or sensor modality
• Building and evaluating SLAM, visual odometry, or structure-from-motion systems for deployable platforms under real-world operational constraints
• Researching and adapting state-of-the-art geometric deep learning or feature matching methods to concrete use cases, from local feature descriptors to learned place recognition
• Collaborating with product and downstream deployment teams to integrate localisation and reconstruction outputs into navigation or decision-making pipelines and shape the roadmap for new capabilities
• You will develop computer vision models and pipelines that leverage and extend the latest state-of-the-art methods and architectures, as well as design experiments and conduct benchmarks to evaluate and improve their performance in real-world scenarios
• You will also apply and develop techniques to adapt them to the target hardware and constraints associated to the downstream ML/AI tasks
• You will contribute to impactful projects and will collaborate with people across several teams and backgrounds
