Principal Engineer - Edge Compute and Computer Vision

Principal Engineer – Edge Compute & Computer Vision

We are hiring a Principal Engineer – Edge Compute & Computer Vision to join our client's team in Galway, Ireland (hybrid, minimum 3 days onsite). This is a full-time role, with relocation support available for exceptional candidates.

We build real-time AI systems that operate in high-throughput, live environments where latency, reliability, and performance are critical. This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role, you will write production C++ daily, shape architecture, and solve complex mathematical and performance challenges. This is not a managerial role; you’ll stay close to the code while setting technical direction.

What You’ll Do

• Design multi-camera geometry, calibration, and synchronisation systems

• Build probabilistic multi-object tracking and spatiotemporal reasoning models
• Develop highly optimised C++ in real-time, resource-constrained environments
• Optimise GPU-accelerated inference pipelines for low latency and high throughput
• Take models from research to hardened, production-grade edge deployments
• Define testing, validation, telemetry, and rollout strategies
• Set technical standards and mentor engineers through code reviews and pairing

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ years in computer vision, robotics, embedded systems, or similar
• Strong C++ in performance-critical systems
• Deep understanding of geometry, linear algebra, optimisation, and estimation
• Experience with GPU optimisation and production AI deployment
• Proven track record shipping real-world vision systems

If you thrive on mathematically rigorous, performance-critical engineering and want to build AI that performs under real-world pressure, we’d love to hear from you.
