Computer Vision Engineer

About Ocean Aero

Ocean Aero is an award-winning US company that has created the world’s first and only environmentally powered Autonomous Underwater and Surface Vehicle (AUSV.) Ocean Aero’s autonomous marine robot, the Triton, operates exclusively on wind and solar energy and performs long endurance missions on the ocean surface with the ability to dive below the waves for underwater operations. The Triton uses a complex array of custom-built sensors, marinized electronics and software systems to operate, sense and communicate in the environment.

Ocean Aero has a collaborative culture with plenty of opportunities for growth and ownership, and comprehensive benefits.

Role Description

The Computer Vision Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and documenting computer vision capabilities for Ocean Aero's autonomous vehicle perception, mapping, localization, and mission-decision systems. The role will focus on EO/IR sensing, Gaussian Splatting and 3D scene reconstruction, visual mapping and localization, occupancy matrix generation, and mapping camera observations to vehicle actions across surface and subsurface operations. The Computer Vision Engineer will be working alongside a team of creative engineers with a diverse set of backgrounds and skills. This role will report to the Chief Technology Officer.

Role Responsibilities

• Design and implement computer vision capabilities for EO/IR imagery across surface and subsurface missions
• Build perception pipelines for camera calibration, image/video ingestion, detection, tracking, segmentation, and scene understanding
• Develop visual mapping and localization tools, including occupancy matrices, georeferenced perception layers, and uncertainty outputs
• Create 3D scene-reconstruction capabilities using Gaussian Splatting, multi-view geometry, photogrammetry, and related methods
• Map camera observations to autonomy actions, mission recommendations, alerts, and decisi...
