Sauron
Senior Perception Engineer
San Francisco, United States · On-site · Senior · Full-time · Posted Sep 29, 2026
- Experience
- Around 5+ years building production systems, with several at staff scope.
About the job
Own the architecture, technical direction, and end-to-end quality of a home-security perception system that interprets sensor data reliably across challenging conditions.
What you'll do
- Evolve the perception pipeline to support changing cameras and configurations without interrupting video or losing object identity.
- Define and measure perception quality, including evaluation data, regression testing, model selection, and performance tradeoffs.
- Improve reliability in field deployments through sensor fusion, failure detection, graceful degradation, observability, and deployment-data feedback.
What they ask for
- Significant professional experience in perception or machine learning for hardware products in a safety-critical field.
- Deep modern C++ experience; the codebase uses C++20, Abseil, gRPC, and CMake.
- Real GStreamer or media-pipeline experience and shipped applied computer vision, such as multi-object tracking, re-identification, or multi-camera association.
- Experience across the deep-learning lifecycle and practical GPU inference; Python fluency.
Nice to have
- NVIDIA Jetson production experience or experience building multi-camera tracking systems.
- Video surveillance, VMS, or ONVIF/RTSP integrations; GPU architecture and CUDA; familiarity with VLMs or other multimodal models.
Tools
C++20, Abseil, gRPC, CMake, GStreamer, PyTorch, TensorRT, Python
AI focus
Develop and evaluate computer-vision and machine-learning perception for sensor fusion, object tracking, re-identification, and semantic scene understanding; optimize models for edge inference.
