Deep Learning Engineer – Object Detection & Perception (m/w/d)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Toulouse
Your mission
  • Build, adapt, and train neural networks for object detection and perception tasks using time-series data
  • Implement perception algorithms that extract and leverage temporal context across multiple frames
  • Design, implement and optimize custom loss functions, augmentations, and architectures
  • Collect, prepare and curate datasets from the real world – no given Kaggle-style clean datasets
  • Supervise data annotation by refining labeling guidelines and assuring adherence to them
  • Evaluate and debug models using a variety of metrics and statistics (AP, Precision/Recall, mIoU, etc.) and videos
  • Push models into production as part of an integrated multi-sensor system (camera, radar, IR, etc.)
Your profile
  • Strong experience in computer vision and deep learning, with a focus on object detection (One-Stage or Two-Stage models like YOLO / FCOS / DETR / Faster R-CNN etc.)
  • Experience with temporal models (e.g., RNNs or transformer-based tracking)
  • Ability to modify and extend network architectures (not just use them)
  • Hands-on experience in data collection, labeling, augmentation, training
  • Proven ability to train from scratch or adapt to custom classes and data
  • Familiarity with perception challenges specific to robotics, such as motion blur, lighting variation, occlusion, or limited compute
  • Proficiency in PyTorch, Python, Git, Docker
Nice to have
  • Experience with tracking algorithms (e.g., DeepSORT, ByteTrack, Kalman Filters)
  • Prior work with non-visual sensors like infrared, acoustic, radar, or LiDAR for object detection and fusion
  • Exposure to model optimization and compression (quantization, pruning, distillation)
  • Experience in the domain of UAVs, familiarity with ROS
Meta
  • Outside of the box creativity, conceptional & systematic design thinking, disciplined execution
  • Servant leader mindset, placing team success over ego
  • Highest moral standards and work ethic
  • We value extra-curricular responsibilities and achievements in your biography
  • Intrinsic motivation, willing to go the extra mile, attention to detail
  • Fluent in English
  • Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is a must
  • Successful candidates will be required to obtain security clearance
