Computer Vision Engineer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led a project where I tuned an object detection model to run in real time on edge devices, achieving 35 frames per second on a mid-range GPU and significantly improved robustness to lighting changes. The work drew on OpenCV and Python pipelines I’ve built to sift through thousands of images and keep the development loop tight. I’m applying for a role at [Company Name] because I want to contribute to a team that values practical, testable results and clear tradeoffs between speed and accuracy. My background spans image processing, deep learning, and mathematical modelling to drive reliable recognition systems. I’m comfortable with OpenCV, PyTorch, and TensorFlow, and I’ve implemented evaluation metrics that matter in production, like inference latency, precision/recall, and class-wise ROC curves. I enjoy collaborating with hardware and software teams to keep algorithms efficient and maintainable, and I’m keen to work on end-to-end pipelines for object detection, tracking, and scene understanding. A concrete example I’m proud of involved a small, cross-disciplinary team at [Previous Company]. We replaced a brittle detection module with a learned detector and a lightweight post-processing step, saving about 20 percent of CPU usage while preserving accuracy. We also built a reusable calibration tool that helped us adapt models to new video feeds with minimal tuning. It’s the kind of work I want to continue, applying solid CV practice to ensure systems perform reliably in the field. I’m available to discuss how my experience aligns with the needs of [Company Name]. If there’s a good time, I’d value a chat to talk through the current projects and how I can contribute. Kind regards, [Your Name]
