Computer Jobs in Switzerland

Your mission

This position is for applicants with work authorization in Switzerland or the United States. Please do not apply if you do not meet those requirements, your application will be automatically rejected.

At AVIAN, our mission is clear: we stop fires before they start. Our infrared camera systems and AI-driven monitoring help industrial companies detect abnormal heat early, prevent fire risk, protect assets, and avoid costly downtime.

We have reached product-market fit. We have the product, the proof, and strong customer demand. Now we need to scale the technology behind it.

Your goals will be to help us build out new monitoring applications using computer vision. We are developing brand new technologies for infrared cameras on the cutting edge of machine learning and computer vision.

The main difference - We build things that matter.
This is not another SaaS job.
You will be visiting clients on-site, working closely with their teams and building products to strict specifications. You will be joining a team of expert computer vision practitioners that have harnessed their skills through years of field and academic work. Our team members have been published in top robotics and AI journals globally.

Your profile

As an Applications Engineer on the AVIAN team, we expect the following must haves:

• Deep expertise in computer vision, both classical and AI approaches
• Comfortable taking your algorithms from the lab to deployment on edge devices
• Model acceleration, pruning, and evaluation techniques
• Comfortable interfacing with customers and translating their needs into code
• Hardware experience with various types of camera sensors across the electromagnetic spectrum
• Mastery of English
• Linux and embedded systems expertise, including hardware interfaces and real-time deployment constraints

Why us?

AVIAN is building a new category in industrial fire prevention. Our product protects real facilities, real assets, and real people. The impact is immediate, measurable, and operationally critical.

You will join at the right stage: product-market fit is proven, customer demand is real, and the technology now needs to scale. This is the opportunity to learn how a real-world engineering team builds software across hardware, AI, cloud systems, and industrial operations.

What we offer:

• On-site experience with the AVIAN team in Zurich.
• Direct collaboration with the engineering team.
• Real ownership of software engineering projects.
• Opportunity to ship code that supports a mission-critical product.
• Practical learning across software, hardware, AI, data, and industrial IoT.
