Senior Computer Vision Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Senior Computer Vision Engineer to join our innovative R&D team in Westmont, Illinois. The ideal candidate will bring extensive expertise in C++, OpenCV, image processing and stereo vision, with particular focus on tracking algorithms for dynamic and real-time applications.

In this role, you will design and implement robust tracking systems that leverage stereo vision and advanced image processing techniques. A strong foundation in algorithm development, optimization, and creating robust C++ libraries is essential.

• Design, develop, and maintain robust C++ libraries for computer vision, focusing on tracking systems and real-time performance.
• Implement and optimize tracking algorithms for object detection, feature tracking, and motion analysis.
• Work with stereo camera systems to extract, process, and track depth and spatial information in real-time.
• Develop and integrate fusion algorithms to combine tracking data from multiple sensor modalities.
• Optimize algorithms for accuracy, scalability, and real-time performance across various platforms.
• Conduct rigorous testing and validation to ensure tracking system reliability under challenging conditions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate tracking solutions into larger systems.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in computer vision, tracking technologies, and sensor fusion.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science or related field. A higher degree in any of these disciplines is a definite plus.
• 5+ years of professional experience in computer vision, image processing, or related fields.
• Expertise in designing and implementing real-time tracking algorithms for dynamic objects.
• Proficiency in C++, with experience developing robust, reusable, and modular libraries.
• Strong understanding of modern C++ standards (C++14, C++17, or newer).
• Extensive experience with OpenCV for implementing tracking and vision solutions.
• In-depth knowledge of stereo vision, depth estimation, and motion tracking techniques.
• Proficiency in multithreading, memory management, and performance optimization in C++.
• Strong foundation in mathematics, including linear algebra and geometry, as applied to tracking and computer vision.
• Hands‑on experience with build tools like CMake.
• Proficiency in using version control systems like Git.
• Experience with debugging, unit testing, and continuous integration (CI) for robust software development.

• Advanced knowledge of fusion algorithms such as Kalman filters for combining tracking data from multiple sensors.
• Experience with GPU programming for accelerating tracking and image processing.
• Knowledge of cross-platform development and deployment.
