About Promethion Industries

Promethion Industries is a European defence technology company building autonomous supremacy systems for aerial and multi-domain operations. We design tightly integrated autonomy stacks in Europe to enable decisive autonomy for NATO-aligned forces, focusing on defensive and counter-system capabilities including anti-UAS and resilient autonomy under contested conditions.

Your mission with us

  • Develop event-based VIO and motion-estimation approaches for high-speed aerial robotics.

  • Explore asynchronous optical flow, event-IMU fusion and direct velocity estimation.

  • Develop continuous-time estimation approaches suitable for high-rate asynchronous sensing.

  • Evaluate event-based methods for GNSS-denied and high-dynamic flight.

  • Build and validate hybrid frame + event + IMU estimators.

  • Investigate velocity-space estimation for terminal high-dynamic operation.

  • Characterize failure modes including scale drift, low texture, sensor mismatch and high angular rates.

  • Port promising research onto embedded compute and evaluate real latency and resource requirements.

  • Work directly with the core state-estimation team to transition validated approaches into the main stack.

The offboarding work specifically highlights event+IMU fusion, direct velocity estimation and event-based high-speed state estimation, alongside concrete concerns around scale drift and embedded compute limits. Neuromorphic VIO and OF (1)

Your contribution to the team (required)

  • Strong research or engineering background in VIO, visual odometry, SLAM or state estimation.

  • Experience with event cameras or asynchronous sensing.

  • Strong understanding of IMU fusion and nonlinear estimation.

  • Strong C++ skills.

  • Experience implementing research algorithms on real hardware.

  • Strong understanding of sensor timing, calibration and high-rate data processing.

  • Ability to work from academic literature to reproducible real-world implementation.

Even if you don’t tick every box, we encourage you to apply - we’d love to hear from you.
