Candidates should have a strong background in classical methods for 3D Reconstruction, including SfM/SLAM, Multi-view Stereo, and RGB-D Fusion. Additionally, experience in utilizing Deep Learning for 3D Reconstruction and/or Scene Understanding is essential, with familiarity in areas such as Depth Estimation, Room Layout Estimation, NeRFs, Inverse Rendering, and 3D Scene Understanding. The position requires expertise in ML frameworks and libraries, particularly PyTorch, and a high level of productivity in Python. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to architect and implement complex systems at both the micro and macro levels. We value entrepreneurial qualities, including being adventurous, self-driven, and comfortable with uncertainty, along with a desire to ensure systems work end-to-end. Innovation is key, and we are looking for individuals with a track record of patents and/or first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as CVPR, ECCV/ICCV, SIGGRAPH, and ISMAR. Experience in developing technologies that have been integrated into products, along with post-launch performance tracking and improvements, is highly desirable. Familiarity with C++ is a bonus. Join our mission-driven R&D lab, strategically backed by a globally influential brand. You will work within a dynamic team of professionals specializing in computer vision, AI, computational photography, AR, graphics, and design, alongside successful serial entrepreneurs. This role also offers the opportunity to publish novel and relevant research. We provide fully remote work options for individuals residing in the USA or Canada. Our headquarters is located in downtown Palo Alto, California, conveniently close to restaurants, coffee shops, and Caltrain commuter rail.
