Software Engineer (Computer Vision / Image Processing)

• Implement and re-implement expensive imaging-pipeline stages in performant C++, including bundle adjustment, orthorectification, and image format handling, and expose them cleanly to Python
• Drive down IR Data Product pipeline latency by replacing expensive stages with optimized implementations (e.g. GPU-based orthorectification), and extend the same approach to other imaging data product and missions
• Work with the image data products team to identify the highest value stages to port from Python to C++/GPU and drive the migrations to completion and success
• Contribute to high-performance reference algorithms and benchmark them
• Partner with the HPC GPU specialists where workloads benefit from GPU acceleration
• Own verification and validation, including unit, integration, and performance regression tests in CI
• Produce clear designs, trade studies, and interface documentation
