Daedalean is a Zürich-based startup founded by ex-Google and SpaceX engineers who want to completely revolutionize urban air travel within the next decade. We combine computer vision, deep learning, and robotics to develop full “level-5” autonomy for flying vehicles, in particular, the electric VTOLs that you may have seen in the media. You can watch an interview with our founder, Luuk van Dijk, here.
Your Role:
To come up with algorithms and code to completely and reliably replace the human pilot, only bound by the laws of Nature and rules of the air. Preferred Qualifications and Experience:
You are smart and get stuff done, having at least one of
5 years of hardcore C++ software engineering experience
proven research skills
proven applied engineering skills
witnessed in at least one of the following areas:
Systems, embedded or low-level programming, e.g.
porting netbsd to the bf531
a load balancer for a 12-datacenter spread web service serving 300k qps
Games or graphics programming, e.g.
high performance photorealistic rendering
Machine learning, e.g.
designing, implementing and evaluating neural networks
generative adversarial networks
fundamental research on xNNs, interpretability, training methods, convergence, etc.
Computer vision, e.g.
SLAM and localization systems
Optimizing code for GPUs, FPGA programming, e.g.
tweaking code to get the most out of (super)computing facilities
Robotics and control, e.g.
motion planning in the air or on the ground
sensor fusion
real time solving of inverse kinematic equations
General or commercial aviation, e.g.
flying for fun or profit
Leading or building software engineering teams
Physics, any physics
Experience in aerospace engineering or avionics is not required; we will teach you everything you need to know about the constraints of safety critical systems in airworthy applications. Benefits:
Combine the best of both worlds; a) work in fast-growing startup and b) collaborate with and learn from very experienced engineers and scientists that have previously worked at Google, SpaceX, Apple, Nvidia, CERN, and Rolls Royce.
Build cutting-edge technology that will shape our future.
Join our pilots to test your ideas in the air during test flights in the Swiss Alps.
Develop scarce and marketable skills in the fields of safety-critical avionics systems development, computer vision, machine learning, and robotics.
