Who we are
Spiral is an engineering company that connects “people and people” and “technology and technology” to create value that does not exist in the world.
Voices calling for services that are individually optimized are spreading rapidly due to rapid population and social structure changes. Innovations in essential element technologies, such as AI, information processing, and miniaturization, are progressing and making the practical use of robots that learn and provide services to humans a reality.
Robotics technology supports people’s happiness (individual desires) through automation and optimization, and it is expected that a future where humans and robots coexist will come. We have a long-term vision of realizing such a society on a space scale using flying robots.
However, we feel that the development of robots such as current indoor drones is not accompanied by products and services tailored to the field. This is our sense of mission as a developer, production engineer, and technical salesperson who has been involved in the robotics industry for more than 10 years.
At Spiral, with a mission to become a savior for “on-site technicians” considering the introduction of autonomous flying drones for “indoor” use and vision to realize a society where humans and robots coexist on a cosmic scale, we emphasize research and development from the field perspective and continue to create values that are not found in the world in collaboration with field technicians.
Roles and Responsibility
We are developing world-class drone obstacle avoidance technology, using the latest and most advanced computer vision and image recognition capabilities. Our deep learning algorithms will enable safe and secure autonomous navigation, making us a trusted partner for customers in Japan, Singapore, Dubai, Luxembourg, France, and beyond. Moreover, our engineering team is comprised of professionals from all around the world, including Rwanda, Pakistan, India, the UK, and many other countries. Not only do we provide the best environment for those seeking to gain engineering experience in English, but we also strive to be a great opportunity for those aspiring to work for foreign-affiliated companies in the future. We are confident that our cutting-edge technology and unparalleled engineering team will be the key to unlocking the potential of drone navigation technology worldwide.
As a Computer Vision Engineer, you will be mainly involved in the development of obstacle avoidance technology for drones using computer vision.
Minimum Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in object recognition and control such as SLAM and obstacle detection/avoidance using cameras, IMU, distance sensors, etc.
- 5+ years of experience with basic image recognition techniques and libraries such as OpenCV
- Experience in real-time control of objects using microcontrollers or board PCs (preferably for flying objects)
- Basic knowledge of object control (PID control, feedback control, and response evaluation)
