Job Description
Want to become an innovator
Join us at the forefront of the robotics industry developing and deploying a new generation of drones capable of physical interaction with the world - which makes them actual flying robots.
Spun off from the world-renowned Autonomous Systems Lab of ETH Zurich in 2019 Voliro was awarded the Top Swiss Robotics Startup 2022 and named one of the Top 10 most innovative companies in roboticswe won the Swiss Economic Award in the category Deeptech/Life Sciences.
After releasing our first generation product in September 2022 we have proved product-market fit in early 2023. Now our next mission is to scale the business and create an unmatched customer experience around the core product.
Headquartered in Zurich Switzerland our growth markets are in North America as well as Europe. Our office in Houston amplifies sales and customer support in North America.

Your role
Are you passionate about enabling machines to understand and interact with the world around them Do you thrive at the intersection of classical computer vision and modern deep learning At Voliro we are building aerial robots that carry out complex physical tasksand we are looking for an AI Engineer for Perception to drive forward the sensing intelligence and autonomy stack that powers these capabilities.
In this role you will take ownership of parts of our autonomy pipeline including vision-based localization obstacle detection environment understanding semantic segmentation and autonomous mission completion. Youll leverage both classical and learning-based techniques to build robust deployable solutions. From algorithm development to real-world deployment you will play a central role in shaping how our drones perceive and reason about their environment.
What Youll Do
- Design and deploy computer vision and deep learning models for real-time perception tasks like obstacle detection pose estimation inspection point detection and scene understanding.
- Integrate and fuse data from multiple sensors (e.g. cameras IMUs GPS) to enable robust autonomy in diverse environments.
- Develop and maintain scalable training pipelines datasets and evaluation metrics for perception models.
- Collaborate with autonomy control and platform teams to ensure tight integration across the software stack.
- Own the performance of perception systems in the field and iterate quickly based on testing and feedback.
What Were Looking For
- MSc or PhD in Machine Learning AI Computer Vision Robotics or a related field.
- Hands-on experience deploying AI-based perception systems on real robotic platforms.
- Solid skills in Python and C and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Deep understanding of 2D/3D perception techniques sensor fusion and real-time constraints.
- Strong sense of ownership adaptability and ability to work across teams in a fast-paced environment.
Bonus Points
- Experience deploying real-time perception on drones or mobile robots.
- Exposure to self-supervised learning generative vision models or visual-inertial systems.
- Publications or competition results in computer vision or robotics.
