Job Description

The senior computer vision algorithm researcher will work to advance exploratory research and development projects in computer vision and machine learning and related fields to create highly innovative customer solutions. The researcher will develop perception & learning systems using 2D and 3D visioning systems that are Enterprise-grade and ready for real world deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Development of computer vision and machine learning algorithms and applications
• Develop proof-of-concept implementations, prototypes and demos to fine-tune technologies to practical, state-of-the-art systems
• Perform experiments and evaluations to quantify and validate improvements made to existing systems
• Take responsibility for communicating with different engineers (embedded systems, backend server, computer vision) to continuously improve and optimize implemented algorithms
• Create automated software tests and provide support to trouble shoot software issues when needed
• Documentation of algorithms
• Research fundamental problems and implement algorithmic solutions that are appropriate
• Provide recommendations and solutions to problems using experience in multiple technical areas
• Receive little instruction on day-to-day work and general instructions on new assignments
• May influence the activities of junior level personnel

Qualifications:

• Masters/PhD in computer vision or machine learning; alternatively a comparable industry career, with significant experience in delivering products using state-of-the-art computer vision and/or machine learning systems
• 5+ years work experience
• Solid foundation in computer vision; key areas of interest include object detection, tracking and recognition; multiple view geometry, 3D computer vision and SfM/SLAM; activity recognition
• Scripting and prototyping languages: Python, Matlab, C/C++
• Generic packages: OpenCV, Point Cloud Library
• Experience with Linux, Windows and ROS platforms
• Ability to grasp new concepts quickly
• Ability to adapt and use these patterns in innovative ways to develop custom solutions
• Ability to take initiative on issues and report results instead of waiting for task lists
• Good presentation skills, both prepared and on demand talks
• Takes ownership of their work, is self-motivated & practical in their problem-solving and thrives in a fast-paced, highly-collaborative applied research environment
