AI Research Engineer - 3D Computer Vision

Helsing is a defence AI company focused on protecting democracies through technological leadership. The AI Research Engineer will shape AI capabilities in computer vision, working on systems for scene matching, geo-registration, SLAM, and 3D reconstruction, while collaborating across teams to deliver impactful projects.

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
