Artificial Vision Engineer – Deep Learning & Edge Navigation

Alicante, España

At Embention, we have been driven since 2007 by a clear mission: Enabling drones to populate our skies.

We provide more than 700 customers in 70 countries including internationally renowned companies such as Toyota, Amazon Prime Air, and Honda with Veronte autopilots, critical avionics, and software for their professional drones and eVTOLs. All our systems are developed in accordance with DO-178C, DO-254, and DO-160 standards, making us the only company in the sector certified by AESA and EASA as both a POA and APDOA.

The core of our company lies in our R&D team, made up of over 100 multidisciplinary engineers. Together with the rest of the organization, we are a team of 180 professionals united by a single goal: to innovate and push the boundaries of UAV technology.

Following a record-breaking 2025 marked by strong stock market performance, the launch of industrial production in the United Arab Emirates, and the establishment of a subsidiary in the United States, we are looking to continue expanding our team and driving continuous R&D development.

If you are passionate about our mission and want to be part of this journey, we are looking for you.


🌟 What would your mission be?

Your mission will be to design, optimize, and deploy Deep Learning algorithms applied to autonomous navigation in UAVs operating in GNSS-denied environments, contributing to the development of Terrain Matching systems capable of matching, in real time, aerial images captured by the drone with satellite reference maps.

The new team member will be responsible for taking artificial vision models from the development phase through to efficient execution on embedded hardware, working in an Edge Computing environment where performance, robustness, and clean integration with the existing architecture are critical factors.

Your contribution will be key to feeding the navigation system already developed internally, integrating with geometric modules such as RANSAC and PnP, and ensuring that the implemented solutions are efficient, traceable, and compatible with the company’s high-integrity software standards.

Ultimately, your mission will be to turn advanced artificial vision capabilities into real, deployable, and reliable solutions for autonomous aircraft that must operate without relying on GNSS signals.


💡 What will your responsibilities be?

  • Development and Optimization of the AI Pipeline: Implement, train, and optimize Deep Learning models for feature extraction and description in cross-domain images — camera vs. satellite — seeking maximum performance at the Edge
  • Software Integration and Connectivity: Connect the outputs of the AI model with the existing traditional geometric backend — RANSAC, PnP — ensuring efficient, low-latency communication
  • Robust Development with No Regressions: Integrate the code into high-integrity C++ modules, respecting the principles of the current embedded architecture — efficient memory management, absence of blocking operations — to ensure that new functionalities coexist seamlessly with the system’s quality standards
  • Validation in Simulation and HIL: Validate the behavior of the Terrain Matching system in closed loop using our photorealistic virtual environments and Hardware-in-the-Loop systems before real flight testing


🕵️‍♀️ What do we need?

  • Degree in Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, Electronics, Mathematics, Robotics, or similar
  • Practical experience in training, evaluating, and exporting Deep Learning models applied to vision — PyTorch, TensorFlow
  • Solid programming skills in C++ — object-oriented programming, data structures — with the ability to integrate autonomously into a production software repository
  • Experience or familiarity with deploying networks in optimization runtimes for embedded hardware — TensorRT, ONNX Runtime
  • Fluent use of standard computer vision libraries — OpenCV


📚 What do we value?

  • Experience or projects involving local descriptors, both traditional and learned: ORB, SIFT, SuperPoint, SuperGlue, etc
  • Familiarity with embedded platforms — NVIDIA Jetson or other ARM architectures — and Linux environments
  • Ability to work under real-time system constraints — latency control, buffer optimization
  • Knowledge of or interest in clean and critical code standards — structured coding style, MISRA C++, JSF++
  • Embention is an equal opportunity employer. Hiring decisions are made based on experience, qualifications, and fit with the requirements of the role
