Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize machine learning and deep learning models for 3D point cloud filtering, denoising, registration, and surface reconstruction.
  • Own 3D data pipelines from preprocessing and augmentation through model adaptation and evaluation against ground-truth geometry.
  • Integrate 3D machine learning solutions into existing workflows and products in collaboration with AI researchers, software engineers, and product designers.
  • Adapt state-of-the-art 3D deep learning methods, including point-based, sparse voxel or convolutional, graph-based, transformer-based, and diffusion-based approaches, for production use.
  • Build scalable and reproducible training pipelines for large 3D datasets.
  • Analyze geometric and perceptual quality metrics to improve model performance and raise the team’s expertise in 3D machine learning.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in computer vision, machine learning, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5–7+ years of hands-on experience applying machine learning and deep learning to point cloud processing, filtering, registration, or surface reconstruction.
  • Strong theoretical grounding in machine learning, deep learning, geometry, linear algebra, and optimization.
  • Familiarity with point cloud-specific architectures, including PointNet++, sparse convolutional networks, graph neural networks, and transformer- or diffusion-based 3D models.
  • Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Scikit-learn.
  • Fluent English communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
  • Preferred qualifications include computer graphics and GPU programming experience; experience with NeRF, Gaussian splatting, or signed distance functions; familiarity with ML experimentation and orchestration tools; relevant publications or open-source projects; experience with C++ and 3D libraries; and Linux experience.
