Computer Vision Engineer - Payload Data

Permanent employee, Full-time · München

Your mission
With thousands of satellites in orbit providing us with critical services like telecommunications, geolocation and meteorology, ensuring their safety and the long-term sustainability of the space environment is at the core of our mission. Vyoma's vision is to build Europe's first sovereign space surveillance solution that will be capable of mapping all centimetre-scale space objects orbiting in low-Earth orbit (LEO).

To achieve this, we are looking for an experienced Computer Vision Engineer who will extend our image processing pipelines, transforming raw payload data into high level information. Your work will sit at the intersection of advanced computer vision algorithms, high performance software and mathematical modelling, shaping how data is processed both on-ground and on-board. You will have the opportunity to influence architectural decisions, explore novel algorithmic approaches, and see your work transition from concept to deployment.

Key responsibilities
As part of Vyoma you will
  • Develop, maintain and deploy high-performance algorithms based on Payload Image Data, which include Object Recognition, Tracking and Uncertainty Quantification.
  • Produce high-quality code that conforms to the design and functional requirements, including validation plans to ensure that code is fully unit-tested before integration.
  • Select and integrate the most suitable technologies and frameworks to implement near real-time algorithms optimised for speed, reliability, and execution within constrained compute and resource budgets.
  • Perform thorough and thoughtful code reviews for other teammates.
Your profile
Important: Please only apply if you have a valid working permit in Germany (or the EU)

Key qualifications:
  • 3+ years of professional software development experience and proven record of deploying algorithms to production.
  • Strong background in software engineering, image processing and mathematical algorithms (e.g., optimisation, signal processing, probabilistic methods).
  • Very strong programming skills in Python.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to clearly explain technical concepts.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Nice-to-haves:
  • Experience with onboard or embedded systems (real-time or near real-time constraints) and at least one embedded-oriented language, preferably C++ and/or Rust.
  • Familiarity with hardware acceleration: SIMD, FPGA, or dedicated vision accelerators such as DPU’s
Why us?
  • We nurture your growth. Our employees are key to the success of Vyoma, that is why we want you to grow fast and assume greater responsibility. We also invest in your training while on the job.
  • Transparency. At each step of the way, from recruitment to onboarding to having a permanent position, you will know where you stand and have a clear roadmap, with timeline, goals and expectations. 
  • Accountability and Feedback. Fostering open and direct lines of communication is crucial for the success of individuals and our teams, that is why we encourage people to speak up and maintain flat hierarchies.
  • Your time is valuable. Work should not trump private life, that is why we offer 30 days of holidays, the possibility to work from home, and flexible working hours.
  • The perks. Effort should be compensated appropriately, which is why we offer a competitive salary, a private pension plan, transportation allowances, 5 days of paid sick leave for childcare per year for all parents and other benefits.
  • We are all social animals. We don't just work hard, but we know how to have fun together during our weekly Happy Hours and Game Nights.
About us
Vyoma is on a mission to solve one of the big issues humanity faces today: the problem of space debris threatening active satellites in orbit. We are building a fleet of space cameras to monitor such space debris. Together with our software suite, we build an accurate catalogue of space objects, automate satellite operations for our customers, and ultimately keep our orbits clean and safe. We are a young and international team of aerospace engineers and software developers, backed by some of the top investors and venture capitalists in Germany.

Our offices are located very centrally in Munich (Bonner Platz). Amongst others, you can expect a great (very international) team atmosphere, highly qualified colleagues, flexible working hours, remote/hybrid work, and a very exciting company vision.
