Senior Research Engineer

Senior Research Engineer, Computer Vision

Position: Senior Research Engineer, Computer Vision

Responsibilities:

• Advance computer vision algorithms for semantic scene segmentation, motion tracking, image modeling, image registration, and 3D model reconstruction to promote integration of CG, CV, AI and image processing technologies into a unified pipeline to provide a tool chain for better digital reality experience
• Develop vision-based indoor and outdoor positioning systems that process multi-modal information from multiple sensors, design visual location recognition systems that are robust to variations in the capture conditions and viewpoint changes
• Implement optimized and accurate solutions for on-device that use reduced memory and run in real-time
• Work with multiple 3rd Party SDKs to integrate computer vision algorithms, AR/VR tracking, and haptics applications to build experimental prototypes

Qualifications:

• PhD or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field
• At least three-year experience in computer vision
• Essential hands-on experience in developing computer vision solutions involving:
• State-of-the-art intensity and feature based image/video registration and alignment algorithms for camera calibration, photogrammetry, depth estimation and structure from motion
• Reconstruction and updating a map of the environment while simultaneously keeping track of sensor location (SLAM), georeferencing and positioning
• Clustering parts of images together which belong to the same object class
• Solid understanding and extensive experience with object detection and recognition based on deep learning:
• Involving ResNet, DenseNet, MobileNet, YOLO, VGG, etc.
• Preferably implemented with TensorFlow library
• Well versed in the state-of-the-art in real time 2D and 3D data processing, feature design, training, cross-validation, feature down-selection, performance evaluation
• Experience in technologies for AR/VR, haptics, 3D graphics including rendering and simulation
• Experience in working with data from RGB cameras, IR cameras, depth cameras
• Experience operating on large datasets, data collection, data labeling
• Very strong implementation skills in C++, Python using OpenCV
• Research publications at good venues are a plus
