Computer Vision Engineer Jobs

Autonomy and defense set the tone for computer vision hiring right now. Waymo alone has 29 open computer vision listings as of September 2026, Anduril 11, and Zipline and Shield AI eight each; Apptronik, Torc Robotics, Scandit and Motional round out the top posters. Vehicles, drones, humanoid robots and barcode scanning are the applications, and localization and perception are the words that recur in titles: Senior Computer Vision Engineer, Localization; Staff ML Engineer, Perception Research; Software Engineer, Computer Vision and Image Processing.

The hub holds 222 live listings from the last 60 days, with 16 posted in the past week, so it moves more slowly than the general machine learning page. Seniority is balanced: 82 mid level, 68 senior, 43 staff or principal and 19 lead or manager. A few listings, such as a policy and quality specialist for perception data, are adjacent roles rather than engineering ones.

Of the country-tagged listings, 84 are in the US, against nine in the UK, seven in Germany, four in Canada and four in Singapore. About 53 percent are remote, a lower share than machine learning or data engineering, which fits work that often involves hardware, test vehicles or labs.

Seventeen percent of listings state a US dollar range, and the median midpoint among them is around $220,000 a year, in line with the machine learning engineer median on this site. To search this slice, use the keyword search for terms like perception, localization, SLAM or 3D alongside the category, since many relevant roles carry a software engineer or ML engineer title. /autonomous-vehicle-jobs and /robotics-ai-jobs overlap heavily with this page, /defense-ai-jobs covers Anduril and Shield AI, and /remote-cv-engineer-jobs is the remote subset.
