About the job

IC Resources is seeking a Principal Engineer with expertise in 3D perception to join their innovative team in London, UK. The successful candidate will lead the development of advanced 3D perception technologies and take ownership of the architectural design, implementation, and optimisation of perception systems on edge computing hardware. This role involves technical leadership of a small team of 2–3 engineers, designing and implementing complex 3D perception systems that detect, classify, and track objects in 3D point cloud data. The engineer will also lead the development of scalable, multi-sensor tracking and fusion solutions, and contribute to the advancement of sensor simulation technology. Candidates must hold an MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics, or a related field and have a background in perception for cameras, LiDAR, radar, or depth-sensing technologies. A minimum of 5 years of relevant industry experience is required, particularly in computer vision or deep learning for robotics or automotive applications. Hands-on experience with OpenCV, PCL, or other 2D/3D vision libraries, and proficiency in C++ and Python for production-ready software development are essential. Desirable skills include familiarity with QNX, Embedded Linux, or ROS, experience with TensorFlow or PyTorch, deploying ML models on edge devices like Nvidia Jetson or ARM SoCs, and knowledge of model optimisation using ONNX or OpenVINO. This permanent hybrid role (2–3 days onsite per week) offers a salary of £80–120k depending on experience, equity options, and visa sponsorship.
