Twentyfour Industries

We are an early-stage startup funded by leading European VCs with the mission to build advanced small Unmanned Systems to strengthen European sovereignty and security.

What we’re looking for

We are seeking an expert Computer Vision Engineer to act as the architect of our drone’s environmental awareness. In this role, you will move beyond basic flight algorithms to solve complex visual challenges. You will develop the visual cortex of our UAVs, enabling them to navigate unstructured environments, detect hazards, and interpret 3D space with high precision in real-time.

The day-to-day

• Design and deploy lightweight, low-latency deep learning models for 2D and 3D object detection (e.g., YOLO, SSD).
• Implement robust multi-object tracking (MOT) to maintain awareness of dynamic obstacles across frames.
• Build semantic scene understanding to distinguish traversable space, vegetation, and hard obstacles.
• Develop pipelines for depth estimation, structure-from-motion (SfM), and monocular depth cues.
• Work on occupancy grid mapping for 3D environment representation and downstream path planning.
• Implement visual odometry and SLAM to ensure precise localization in GPS-denied environments.
• Address challenging visual conditions such as glare, shadows, motion blur, and low-light scenes.
• Optimize perception models for embedded edge devices (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson Orin) using TensorRT, CUDA, and quantization (INT8).
• Balance inference speed and accuracy to achieve high frame rates with minimal end-to-end latency.

You should apply if you

• Have deep expertise in computer vision fundamentals, including epipolar and projective geometry, calibration, and photogrammetry.
• Are highly proficient with PyTorch or TensorFlow, and OpenCV.
• Write production-grade C++ and use Python effectively for prototyping and experimentation.
• Have hands-on experience with visual odometry, SLAM, or visual-inertial systems (e.g., ORB-SLAM, VINS-Mono).
• Bring a strong mathematical foundation in linear algebra, probability, filtering (Kalman / Particle Filters), and optimization.
• Enjoy translating research ideas into robust, real-world systems on constrained hardware.

Nice to haves

• Experience with sensor fusion across camera, IMU, LiDAR, or radar.
• Familiarity with ROS2 for perception and autonomy pipelines.
• Experience working with thermal / IR sensors or event-based cameras.
• Exposure to synthetic data generation for training computer vision models.
• Background in robotics, aerospace, defense, or other safety-critical systems.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and equity options.
• A high-impact role shaping the perception systems of next-generation UAV platforms.
• Direct influence on core autonomy capabilities, not just incremental features.
• A collaborative, ambitious, and technically rigorous startup environment.
• Flexible working conditions, with remote work and relocation support for top candidates.
