Research Engineer

Our client is on a mission to revolutionise the built environment with their cutting-edge 3D reconstruction and scene understanding system. They are seeking a Research Engineer with a strong background in computer vision, geometry processing, computer graphics, and machine learning. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on challenging problems, develop innovative solutions, and see your contributions become integral parts of a disruptive technology-focused business.

What you'll do:

As a Research Engineer (Computer Vision), you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our client's technology. Your expertise in computer vision techniques will be crucial as you work with image and 3D datasets, developing new skills along the way. You will have the opportunity to research and develop algorithms that not only capture but also process and manipulate these datasets. Collaborating with software engineers, you will create robust code that can withstand industrial-scale use. Your commitment to staying updated with the latest technologies and research in relevant fields will ensure that our client remains at the forefront of their industry.

• Research and develop algorithms that capture, process, and manipulate image and 3D data.
• Collaborate with software engineers to create production-quality, robust code for industrial-scale use.
• Maintain, improve, and optimise algorithms to enhance performance and efficiency.
• Stay updated with the latest technologies and research in computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning.
• Communicate the latest advances to the wider team when they should be applied to our data.
• Work closely with the team to ensure the successful implementation of developed solutions.

What you bring:

The ideal candidate for this Research Engineer (Computer Vision) role is someone who brings a wealth of knowledge from their academic background in Machine Learning/Computer Vision/Geometry Processing or related mathematical disciplines. With 1-2 years of experience under your belt, you have developed computer vision algorithms that process image and 3D data. Your strong programming skills in Python and/or Modern C++ will be invaluable in this role. Experience with libraries such as OpenCV, Open3D, Tensorflow, PyTorch is a must. Above all, your ambition and hunger for growth and development will drive you to excel in this role.

• Masters in Machine Learning/Computer Vision/Geometry Processing or related mathematical disciplines.
• 1-2 years experience developing computer vision algorithms that process image and 3D data.
• Experience with at least one of our core areas: Deep Learning (CNNs, GANs, RNNs, transfer learning), 3D Reconstruction (stereo, bundle adjustment, SLAM), Geometry Processing (meshing, parameterisation, approximation), Computational Photography (image enhancement, denoising).
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or Modern C++.
• Experience with libraries such OpenCV, Open3D, Tensorflow, PyTorch.
• Ambition and a hunger for growth and development.
• Can provide examples of projects that demonstrate your skills.
