About the role

  • This role has multi-team visibility, directly influencing how our foundation models translate real-world data into photorealistic reconstructions for emerging applications in Physical AI.

Responsibilities

  • Quality & Benchmarking: Define, track, and optimize quality metrics for 3D reconstruction outputs
  • Quality & Benchmarking: Define, track, and optimize quality metrics for 3D reconstruction outputs; establish rigorous benchmarks that guide internal research and product engineering priorities.
  • Our reconstruction technology captures environments with geometric accuracy and extreme detail from any standard camera; the Visual Positioning System delivers precise positioning almost anywhere in the world.
  • We're building for the 80% of economic activity that takes place beyond our screens: robots that lose GPS and drift off course, defense teams with no shared 3D picture of where they operate, facilities where downtime costs millions.

Requirements

  • 5-8+ years of industry or applied research experience in 3D reconstruction involving data capture and processing for photogrammetry, NeRFs, and Gaussian Splatting outputs
  • Experience with agentic development workflows for building tooling, pipelines, and processes to boost productivity.
  • Hands-on expertise and advanced knowledge of 3D reconstruction tooling and workflows such as NerfStudio, COLMAP, RealityScan/RealityCapture, Pix4D, Drone Deploy, Cesium iTwin, and ArcGIS Reality.
  • Hands-on expertise with 3D scanning.
  • Strong understanding of the full reconstruction stack: capture methods and devices, SfM and SLAM, dense reconstruction, and an understanding of optimizing reconstructions for real-time rendering.
  • Experience with multi-sensor data (RGB, depth, LiDAR, IMU) and the tradeoffs between capture modalities.
  • Required at least 3 days of in-office work in San Francisco.
  • Experience with program management tools like JIRA, Linear, Confluence
  • Familiarity with compression, streaming, and LOD techniques for large-scale 3D assets
  • Hands-on expertise with 3D scanning. Advanced capture methods, scan project planning, drone flight path planning, execution, and data organization and management.
  • Presentation and technical writing skills to present to both deeply technical and non-technical audiences
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Computer Vision, or a related technical field
  • Publications or open-source contributions in 3D vision, computer graphics, or neural rendering
