Machine Learning Engineer / Machine Learning Engineeress

Daedalean AG - July 10, 2025

About Us

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

Your Role

In this position, you will apply certifiable Machine Learning models in the area of computer vision within an entirely new domain: aviation.

Your Responsibilities

  • Ensure our neural networks perform strongly in all conditions by combining work on data, model design, and training.
  • Guarantee performance through careful design and verification activities under our ML certification framework developed in collaboration with regulators.
  • Leverage transfer learning to massively increase the amount of training and evaluation data available, particularly through the use of simulation.

Preferred Qualifications and Experience

  • Excellent programming skills in C++ or Rust.
  • 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.
  • Proven research skills in industrial and/or academic environments, including the ability to tackle challenging problems over extended periods.

Experience in aerospace engineering or avionics is not required; we will teach you everything you need to know about the constraints of safety-critical systems in airworthy applications.

Benefits

  • A team of experienced engineers and researchers, who have joined us from some of the most recognized companies and institutions.
  • Challenging and interesting problems to solve.
  • Opportunities for test flights in the Swiss Alps.
  • Pilot license subsidy.
  • Hybrid work setting.
  • Learning & Development budget: attend conferences of your choice.
  • Gym membership.
