Type: Full-Time
See everything. Defend what matters.
Dominion Dynamics is building tomorrow’s technology today: sovereign, next-generation defence systems for the harshest environments on Earth.
We’re delivering a software-defined command and control capability that lets Canada and its allies see, respond, and defend across every domain, starting in the Arctic, where extreme cold demands technology no one else can deliver.
From prototype to deployment in months, we move fast, co-develop with operators, innovate at the edge, and test in our North.
Our founding team includes veterans from Anduril, Google, Amazon, and the Canadian Armed Forces. We’re building hard tech in hard places, and we're looking for system-level thinkers who thrive at the intersection of autonomy, aerospace, and national security.
High-fidelity sensing and real-time perception are the foundation of reliable, autonomous operations in remote and contested environments. This role closes the gap between experimental ML research and operational sensor fusion pipelines that must run deterministically at the edge; its output directly improves situational awareness, robustness, and mission effectiveness.
You will drive the development and deployment of sensor-fusion and perception systems; from model development and real-time inference to integration with edge compute and data pipelines. This role focuses on producing high-performance, testable fusion stacks that deliver robust, explainable outputs under field conditions.
Note: This role includes a forward-deployed mandate. You’ll work hands-on with deployed systems and operators in real-world environments
What You’ll Do
Design, train, and validate sensor-fusion models and perception pipelines using Python and frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
Implement real-time inference and optimization techniques suitable for edge compute and constrained hardware.
Implement perception pipelines that combine Computer Vision (CV) with classical estimation; support visual pipelines using OpenCV, OpenGL/WebGL where appropriate.
Build data ingestion, preprocessing, and labeling tooling for high-throughput sensor streams.
Implement unit/integration tests and continuous evaluation to detect model drift and performance regressions.
Collaborate closely with embedded systems, and mechanical teams to define interfaces and verify end-to-end behavior.
Support field trials and on-site model tuning; iterate rapidly based on deployment feedback.
Document algorithms, performance baselines, and operational constraints for cross-functional teams.
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent practical experience.
Senior level: 5+ years building and deploying ML models and sensor-fusion systems in production or fielded environments.
CV depth in one or more: Visual Odometry, SLAM, Multi-view Geometry, Structure from Motion, Stereo Vision, RGB-D, Camera Calibration, Photogrammetry.
Strong proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow; working knowledge of OpenCV.
Experience with data pipelines, labeling workflows, and model validation at scale.
Practical experience optimizing models for edge inference and constrained compute.
Comfortable collaborating with hardware teams and validating models against real sensor data.
Pragmatic, low-ego problem-solver with experience supporting field deployments and debugging in operational settings.
Eligibility for Canadian security clearance preferred; Canadian citizenship an asset.
No defence background required.
