Perception Engineer

We have a team of 6 which is growing steadily, including Computer Vision, Robotics, AI Engineers and a Chief of Staff. We are looking to add a Perception Engineer who will own how our drones see the world and act on it. This is a hands-on role with real ownership, working closely with the founder and the rest of the engineering team to get our aircraft finding and mustering cattle on their own.

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.
