About the role

Fiducial is a young but fast-growing deep-tech start-up with big ambitions at the frontier of autonomy, perception, and defence. We develop and deploy software for on-board UAV 3D vision in military applications. Our software solutions are built for scalability first, using low-cost and widely available sensors and compute.

Benefits

Your roleWhat we expect from youGood understanding of, and experience with, modern C++Real-time software development experience such as game, simulation, robotics or embedded development.Second-nature familiarity with 3D reconstruction concepts: projective geometry, bundle adjustment, PnP, triangulation, feature description, image matching. Experience with building photogrammetry, augmented reality, robotics or visual (inertial) odometry (VIO) solutionsExperience with 3D Gaussian Splatting or derivativesDeep intuition for transform trees and pose representations used in game engines, computer graphics, and robotics. For example, you can work confidently with quaternions and common spatial math without relying on a pre-made frameworkHands-on experience calibrating camera intrinsics/extrinsics. Practical experience with cheap cameras and calibration drift in real-world conditionsExperience ensuring timestamp integrity and tight time alignment across sensors including diagnosing and correcting time offsets, jitter, dropped frames, and clock sync issues in an onboard pipelineExperience with GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL) and graphics pipelines (Vulkan, OpenGL)Experience with AI coding agents and prompt engineering to accelerate your effectiveness and codebase ownership as a tech leadA high degree of autonomy, determination and grit in making cool tech work.Big plus: Experience integrating software on UAVs (onboard constraints, deployment/debugging in flight-test conditions)Big plus: awareness of the zeitgeist in the current 3D vision academic literatureFull time availability (40 hours)Money, of course.25 vacation days per year.Reimbursed travel expenses and company laptop.(Really) flexible working hours and option to work from home 2 days per week when in the Netherlands. A fully remote position with regular travel to Delft and flight testing locations is also an option.Working in an international, world-class team of engineers and entrepreneurs solving real-life problems with amazing technology.Large freedom in how you work and implement solutions, project ownership is incredibly important to us.The opportunity to take technical risks, to implement stuff the 'right' way and to iterate quickly with tight feedback loops. We are innovating, learning is to be expected.Responsibility over the things you implement, you are the expert on what you build.Traveling abroad to test the solutions you built in relevant environments.The appVision insurancePaid time offRemote work optionsFlexible schedule

Additional Information

IMPORTANT: WE CANNOT PROVIDE VISA SPONSORSHIP Details Preferred starting date: ASAP Weekly availability: full-time (5 days/week) Location(s): Aerospace Innovation Hub, Delft, The Netherlands Fully remote, with regular travel to Delft and flight testing locations Fully remote, with access to a (future) Munich office and travel to flight testing locations
