FIDUCIAL is a defence-focused technology company that develops deployable computer vision and onboard autonomy software enabling drone platforms and detection systems to see, navigate, and act in contested environments. Its core capabilities—Chain Home (distributed visual/thermal detection), Pathfinder (GNSS-independent visual navigation), and Intercept (air-to-air terminal guidance)—use 3D vision, spatial geometry, and targeted machine learning to provide explainable, verifiable perception and edge autonomy for platform-agnostic deployment. The company validates its systems in demanding operational conditions and targets both military and critical-infrastructure protection use cases.

📋 Description
• As a Senior 3D Vision Engineer for Aerial Robotics, you will have broad ownership over core functionalities of Fiducial Scout: our on-board situational awareness software for UAVs. • This includes interception detection, collision avoidance, target acquisition, and GNSS-denied visual navigation. • You will shape and drive the short-to-medium-term development roadmap. • In addition, depending on the project, you may take on the role of Tech Lead, guiding technical direction, coordinating implementation efforts, and ensuring delivery within the scope of a specific project.
🎯 Requirements
• Good understanding of, and experience with, modern C++ • Real-time software development experience such as game, simulation, robotics or embedded development. • Second-nature familiarity with 3D reconstruction concepts: projective geometry, bundle adjustment, PnP, triangulation, feature description, image matching. • Experience with 3D Gaussian Splatting or derivatives • Deep intuition for transform trees and pose representations used in game engines, computer graphics, and robotics. • Hands-on experience calibrating camera intrinsics/extrinsics. • Experience ensuring timestamp integrity and tight time alignment across sensors including diagnosing and correcting time offsets, jitter, dropped frames, and clock sync issues in an onboard pipeline • Experience with GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL) and graphics pipelines (Vulkan, OpenGL) • Experience with AI coding agents and prompt engineering to accelerate your effectiveness and codebase ownership as a tech lead • A high degree of autonomy, determination and grit in making cool tech work. • Big plus: Experience integrating software on UAVs (onboard constraints, deployment/debugging in flight-test conditions) • Big plus: awareness of the zeitgeist in the current 3D vision academic literature • Full time availability (40 hours)
🏖️ Benefits
• 25 vacation days per year. • Reimbursed travel expenses and company laptop. • (Really) flexible working hours and option to work from home 2 days per week when in the Netherlands. • Working in an international, world-class team of engineers and entrepreneurs solving real-life problems with amazing technology. • Large freedom in how you work and implement solutions, project ownership is incredibly important to us. • The opportunity to take technical risks, to implement stuff the ‘right’ way and to iterate quickly with tight feedback loops. • Responsibility over the things you implement, you are the expert on what you build. • Traveling abroad to test the solutions you built in relevant environments.
