Perception Engineer
Brumby, Sydney
The role
You will build the perception systems that let Brumby’s drones find, count, and track cattle from the air. That means training models that work in challenging real-world conditions and using GNSS to georeference detections so every animal is correctly located. Beyond cattle, you’ll help the drone read the land itself, from checking fence lines and water troughs to understanding pasture conditions across a property.
All of it runs on the aircraft, on edge hardware with limited compute. You will take models from messy, real-world flight footage through to fast, reliable inference on a Jetson. You’ll also be out on stations seeing how those models hold up in the field, then bringing that data back to make them better.
You will work closely with the rest of the engineering team, including those working on autonomy, so that what the drone sees translates cleanly into how it flies. Perception and autonomy sit close together here, with plenty of room to grow across both.
