Join to apply for the Senior Computer Vision Engineer role at SPAICE


About SPAICE: SPAICE is building the autonomy operating system that empowers satellites and drones to navigate and interact with the world – regardless of the environment. From GPS-denied zones on Earth to the unexplored frontiers of space, our Spatial AI delivers unprecedented levels of autonomy, resilience, and adaptability. At SPAICE, you’ll work on real missions alongside leading aerospace and defense contractors, shaping the future of space and autonomous systems. If you're looking for a place where your work has a real, tangible impact – SPAICE is that place.


About The Role

Satellites that detect & avoid threats on their own. Drones that collaborate in GPS‑denied fields. Spacecraft that rendezvous with tumbling targets in orbit. All of these feats demand robust scene understanding from multiple sensors. That’s where you come in.


As a Computer Vision Engineer (Multimodal Sensing) you’ll implement and refine perception algorithms that fuse cameras, LiDAR, radar, event sensors, and beyond. Working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with a top‑tier team of CV scientists, you’ll translate cutting‑edge research into flight‑ready code for space and defense missions.


What you might work on

  • Implement perception pipelines for situational awareness, collision detection & avoidance, formation flying, surveillance and terrain mapping across satellites and drones operating in GPS‑denied, dynamic environments.
  • Build the Perception stack of our Spatial AI architectures, fusing visual, inertial, and depth cues for robust, multi‑sensor scene understanding.
  • Integrate sensor fusion & neural representations to create dense onboard world models that run in real time on resource‑constrained hardware.
  • Deploy semantic scene understanding, visual place recognition, pose estimation, and monocular depth estimation on embedded or edge‑AI processors.
  • Collaborate with a top‑tier team of CV scientists and cross‑disciplinary engineers, delivering well‑tested, high‑performance code into flight processors, Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) and Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SIL) setups, and real missions.

What we are looking for

  • M.S. in Computer Vision/Robotics, or a related field plus.
  • 3+ years of industry experience (or a PhD).
  • Expertise in multimodal perception & sensor fusion, neural representations, semantic scene understanding, SLAM / camera‑pose estimation, monocular depth estimation, visual place recognition.
  • Strong software engineering skills in C++ and Python, including performance‑critical CV/ML code on Linux or embedded platforms.
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver production‑quality, well‑tested code in collaborative, fast‑moving environments.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with GPU or edge‑AI acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT, Vulkan, or similar).
  • Experience deploying perception pipelines on resource‑constrained hardware.
  • Publications in multimodal sensing/neural representations/SLAM for robotics or autonomous navigation in journals and conferences (e.g. CVPR, ICRA, ICCV, NeurIPS).

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience and impact.
  • Equity options – you will join us at the ground floor and share in the upside.
  • Well‑being perks – access to premium gyms, climbing centers, and wellness programs.
  • Team retreats & offsites – recent adventures include a half‑marathon in Formentera and a Los Angeles retreat during Oscars weekend.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
