Senior Research Engineer (713980

Senior Research Engineer, Computer Vision

You will 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

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 Res Net, Dense Net, Mobile Net, YOLO, VGG, etc.
• Preferably implemented with Tensor Flow 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

Highly motivated to work as a team player and as an individual contributor

Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, and a can-do attitude

Good oral and written communication, interpersonal skills and fluency in English.
