Machine Learning Engineer / Machine Learning Engineeress

Daedalean AG - April 28, 2025

About Us

Daedalean is a Zürich-based startup founded by seasoned engineers aiming to revolutionize air travel within the next decade. We merge computer vision, deep learning, and robotics to develop full “level-5” autonomy for flying vehicles.

Your Role

You will be applying first certifiable Machine Learning models in the area of computer vision within an entirely new domain—aviation.

Your Responsibilities

  • Ensure that our neural networks perform robustly in all conditions by integrating efforts on data, model design, and training.
  • Guarantee this performance through meticulous design and verification activities under our ML certification framework, developed in collaboration with regulators.
  • Leverage transfer learning to significantly enhance the volume of training and evaluation data, particularly through simulation use.

Preferred Qualifications and Experience

  • Master’s or PhD degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, or a related technical field.
  • Practical experience in deep learning for computer vision, ideally covering the entire stack from model architecture to the design and implementation of evaluation pipelines.
  • Demonstrated research skills in industrial and/or academic settings, with the ability to tackle challenging problems over extended periods.
  • Excellent programming skills, including familiarity with a system programming language such as C++ or Rust.

Experience in aerospace engineering or avionics is not required; we will provide comprehensive training on the constraints of safety-critical systems in airworthy applications.

Benefits

  • A team of experienced engineers and researchers, joining us from well-regarded companies and institutions.
  • Engaging and challenging problems to solve.
  • Opportunities for test flights in the stunning Swiss Alps.
  • Pilot license subsidy.
  • Hybrid work environment.
