3D Computer Vision Engineer

Occipital, Inc. (USA) is a leader in computer vision and spatial computing. Our most notable products include the 3D scanner called Structure Sensor, the 3D scanning software platform called Structure SDK and the mobile app for 3D scanning homes called Canvas. We are a global company with offices in the US, Russia and Ukraine.

We love it when our products deliver a seamless computer vision-driven experience, and so do our customers. We’re looking for 3D computer vision engineers that want to develop and hone this experience across operating systems and devices.

Responsibilities

• Develop new and improve existing computer vision algorithms in the field of dense 3D reconstruction and SLAM, with focus on objects / human body scanning applications.

• Remain up to date with the latest advances in Computer Vision technology and apply them to the improvement of Occipital’s scanning applications.

• Build, verify, and push to production efficient C++ implementations of algorithms.

• Profile and optimize existing algorithm implementations.

• Work with our internal and open source git repos, continuous integration (e.g. Jenkins), build & testing systems.

• Study computer vision literature, research possible solutions, and present them to stakeholders.

• Communicate regularly and extensively with our globally distributed team, including product / business leadership and engineers in the US.

• Work around strict timelines and deadlines, and know how to best organize priorities.

We don't separate research from development. You'll be writing production code with focus on quality and value for customers, at the forefront of state-of-the-art computer vision, SLAM and 3D scanning.
