Vector Field is a co-operative, cloud-native digital content creation platform that treats every production task as a data-generating tensor. Our "Bits2

Effect" feedback loop turns high-fidelity capture work into both usable assets and structured training data for AI.

You will design, implement, and operate end-to-end capture pipelines that ingest raw sensor data (high-speed multi-camera rigs, LiDAR, depth, hyperspectral, and Gaussian-splat arrays) and output performance-capture digital doubles, physically accurate digital twins, and large-scale environment representations.

• Capture System Engineering:
  Specify, assemble, and calibrate multi-camera rigs (≥ 12 × 8K @ 120 fps) and synchronized LiDAR/IR sensors
• Optics & Calibration:
  Perform radiometric, geometric, and chromatic-aberration calibration; generate per-lens distortion models
• Software & Pipeline Development:
  Extend the Production-Pipeline Engine with new "Capture-Ingest" stages; write Python/FastAPI micro-services for Photogrammetry and Gaussian-Splat reconstruction
• Ledger & Compensation Integration:
  Record each capture session as a Work-Segment on the Hyperledger ledger
• Security & Ops:
  Follow IL5/IL6/SECRET AWS Gov Cloud hardening guidelines

• Citizenship: U.S. Citizen (required for classified Gov Cloud work)
• Education:
  
  B.S. or higher in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Photogrammetry, or Optical Engineering
• Experience:
  
  5+ years designing high-end capture rigs (film/VR/defense)
• Proven track record with volumetric performance capture (4-D body capture, facial capture)
• Deep familiarity with photogrammetry pipelines (Agisoft Metashape, Reality Capture, COLMAP)
• Hands-on experience building Gaussian-splat or neural-graphics pipelines (Plen Octrees, Instant-NGP)
• Programming:
  Python (Num Py, OpenCV, PyTorch), Type Script/Node.js, Go (optional)
• Cloud: AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC), Terraform/Open Tofu basics
• Security Clearance:
  Ability to obtain Secret clearance within 6 months
• Base Salary: $130k – $165k USD, commensurate with experience and clearance level
• Equity / NNV Participation:
  Automatic issuance of Novel Net Value tokens for each captured work segment
• Full medical/dental/vision, 401(k) match
• Access to classified environments; all travel covered per DoD policy

We need a senior engineer who can turn raw sensor streams into production-ready volumetric, photogrammetric, and Gaussian-splat assets while logging everything on a blockchain ledger.
