Contract 3D Data / Computer Vision Engineer
6 Month Contract | Remote (European-based) | 1 Day Per Month in London
If you're passionate about computer vision, robotics, or autonomous systems and enjoy solving complex 3D data challenges, this is an opportunity to work on technology that's helping shape the future of autonomous driving.
We're looking for an experienced 3D Data / Computer Vision Engineer to join one of the world's leading autonomous vehicle companies. Rather than building new machine learning models, you'll be responsible for creating the data transformation tooling that enables high-quality perception data to flow between internal systems and external annotation providers.
You'll work with large-scale multimodal datasets consisting of cameras, LiDAR, calibration information, and geometric annotations, building reliable Python tooling that transforms, validates, and visualises data at scale.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone from an autonomous vehicles, robotics, drone, perception, or computer vision background who enjoys building practical engineering solutions around complex sensor data.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build Python tooling that prepares multimodal sensor data for external annotation platforms.
- Transform internal data formats into provider-specific schemas and convert completed annotations back into internal systems.
- Work with images, video, LiDAR, calibration data, and geometric annotation structures including polygons, lines, and curves.
- Project 3D sensor data into camera image space using calibration and coordinate transformations.
- Build visualisation tools that help validate annotation quality and investigate data issues.
- Process large image and video datasets using cloud-based batch processing rather than local workflows.
- Design scalable processing pipelines capable of handling tens of terabytes of perception data.
- Automate manual annotation workflows and improve reliability across multiple external labelling providers.
- Collaborate closely with perception, ingest, and data engineering teams to improve tooling across the autonomous driving platform.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in engineers who combine strong Python development skills with a solid understanding of computer vision and 3D sensor geometry.
You'll ideally have experience in several of the following:
- Strong commercial Python development experience.
- Computer vision, robotics, or autonomous systems.
- LiDAR, camera, or multimodal sensor data.
- Camera calibration, intrinsic and extrinsic parameters.
- Coordinate transformations and projection geometry.
- Point cloud processing.
- Image and video processing.
- OpenCV, NumPy, SciPy, or similar computer vision libraries.
- Large-scale batch processing of image or sensor datasets.
- Cloud processing using AWS or Azure.
- Parallel data processing using tools such as Ray, Spark, or PySpark.
- Building internal engineering tooling rather than customer-facing applications.

Bonus Experience
Experience in any of the following would be highly beneficial:
- Autonomous vehicles.
- Robotics.
- Drone technology.
- Humanoid robotics.
- Sensor fusion.
- Perception pipelines.
- Annotation or labelling platforms such as Scale AI, Encord, CVAT, Supervisely, or similar.
- FFmpeg.
- ROS or ROS2.
- Open3D.
- Airflow or workflow orchestration.
- Structure from Motion (SfM), SLAM, or 3D reconstruction.
You'll Succeed If You...
- Enjoy solving complex engineering problems involving real-world sensor data.
- Can quickly understand unfamiliar data formats and build practical tooling around them.
- Have a strong understanding of 3D geometry rather than simply moving data between systems.
- Like working in fast-moving environments where you can make an immediate impact.
- Enjoy building robust, scalable tools that other engineering teams rely on every day.
Contract Details
- Initial 6-month contract with a strong likelihood of extension.
- Remote working with just one day per month onsite in London.
- Open to contractors operating anywhere across Europe.
- Immediate start preferred.
If you're a Computer Vision Engineer, Perception Engineer, Robotics Software Engineer, or 3D Data Engineer looking to work on cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technology, we'd love to hear from you.
