Job Description

Team Description: 

Kitware’s Computer Vision team is a leader in the creation of cutting-edge algorithms and software for automated image and video analysis. Our solutions embrace deep learning and add measurable value to government agencies, commercial organizations, and academic institutions worldwide. We understand the difficulties in extracting, interpreting, and utilizing information across images, video, metadata, and text, and we recognize the need for robust, affordable solutions. We seek to advance the fields of computer vision and deep learning through research and development and through collaborative projects that build on our open source software platforms, such as Kitware Image and Video Exploitation and Retrieval (KWIVER) toolkit.  

About the Projects: 

We consider the work that we do on our government contracts one of the ways that we give back to the community. We relish the opportunity to work on hard problems that have a direct impact on the health, safety and security of our community; our team members choose Kitware instead of working in large internet companies to sell web advertisements. One of our core values is to make the technology we develop as broadly available as possible.

• Be part of Kitware's overall mission of positive social impact through work in environmental monitoring, national and global security, ethical AI, open science, scientific computing and medical computing. 

• Develop tools and techniques for visualizing computer vision results.

• Improve quality control by developing software testing infrastructure (using CMake, CTest, etc.) and writing test cases for code.

• Run experiments of existing algorithms on large-scale datasets with various parameter settings, collect and organize results.

• Develop and operate tools to label objects, activities, and events that appear in images and video. These labels are used to test and train computer vision algorithms.

• Currently working towards a Master's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field. (Undergraduate students currently in sophomore, junior, or senior year.)

• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python. 

• Due to contractual requirements, only U.S. citizens will be considered for this position.

Knowledge or experience in computer vision and/or deep learning.
