Responsibilities
- Build and ship learned 3D reconstruction components for pose and geometry estimation, dense reconstruction, scene representation, and rendering.
- Evaluate and integrate Gaussian splatting, neural rendering, 3D foundation models, learned SfM, and related methods with classical SfM and MVS.
- Develop fast, incremental, and streaming reconstruction for drone, ground, and 360° captures.
- Design model architectures, losses, training pipelines, datasets, and foundation-model adaptation strategies.
- Define benchmarks, metrics, and evaluation datasets for geometric accuracy, visual quality, robustness, and runtime.
- Deploy models at scale on GPU cloud infrastructure while optimizing cost, latency, and reliability.
- Shape multi-quarter technical direction, write design documents, conduct code and architecture reviews, and help engineers develop 3D ML expertise.
- Track research from CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, and NeurIPS and prototype promising methods.
- Use and help define team practices for AI coding agents such as Cursor and Claude Code.
Requirements
- Deep demonstrated expertise in at least one area including Gaussian splatting, NeRF-family methods, differentiable or neural rendering, 3D foundation models, learned SfM, streaming reconstruction, learned feature matching, learned MVS, or monocular depth estimation.
- Strong grounding in multi-view geometry, including camera models, bundle adjustment, SfM, and MVS.
- Hands-on experience designing, training, and debugging 3D deep learning models in PyTorch.
- Track record of translating research ideas into production features, widely used open-source code, or strong published results.
- At least 5 years of industry or applied research experience in 3D computer vision or 3D ML; a related PhD counts toward this requirement.
- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Staff-level candidates additionally need 8+ years of experience, a record of setting technical direction across a team or organization, and ownership of multi-quarter technical bets from research through product delivery.
- Preferred qualifications include large-scale outdoor, aerial, or geospatial reconstruction; 360° camera models; adapting large 3D foundation models; mesh or surface reconstruction; multi-GPU training infrastructure; C++ or CUDA; top-venue publications or notable open-source contributions; real-time or on-device 3D; and cloud GPU deployment experience.
Benefits
- Base pay is listed at $140,960.00–$193,820.00 annually.
- The role may be eligible for equity compensation and/or bonus incentive compensation.
