Senior Computer Vision Engineer
TLDR
Develop computer vision pipelines for active debris removal and in-orbit servicing on space-grade hardware.
At ClearSpace, we believe in reusability, in affordability driving disruption, and that no progress is real unless it is sustainable.
Our company was founded in 2018 out of the realization that in-orbit servicing and space debris removal are vital services for the future of space exploration and operations. Today ClearSpace has assembled an expert engineering team and is leading the way toward sustainable space operations. From a garage in Switzerland, we now operate across UK and Europe, and are working with world-leading institutions and companies to bring our dream of a sustainable space ecosystem to life.
Role Purpose/Summary
ClearSpace is looking for a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to advance core vision technologies across different programs.
