Remote EMEA Artificial Intelligence Robotics Research Scientist Computer Vision Engineer Python C++CUDA

Requirements

• PhD in Computer Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a closely related field. Exceptionally strong candidates with equivalent experience in industry would be considered. • A strong research track record in 3D computer vision: reconstruction, depth estimation, novel view synthesis, SfM, SLAM, or closely related areas. • Strong publication record at top-tier conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, etc. • Strong programming skills in Python and experience in PyTorch. • Evidence that you can carry an idea from research into something real; that may be a shipped feature, a production pipeline, a widely used open-source release, or similar. • Ability to independently drive research projects from idea generation through experimentation and publication. • Experience with classical reconstruction tooling (COLMAP etc). • C++ or CUDA, and a feel for performance and on-device constraints. • Equal Opportunity

Responsibilities

• Conduct original research in computer vision, machine learning, and spatial AI. • Design, implement, and evaluate novel algorithms for: • 3D reconstruction • Neural scene representations • 3D Gaussian Splatting • Geometric deep learning • Structure-from-Motion (SfM) • Feed-forward models • Spatial foundation models • Collaborate with research scientists and engineers to transition promising ideas into future products. • Develop large-scale experiments and benchmarking frameworks. • Work directly with the realities of production with real capture conditions, real hardware constraints, and real customers. • Publish research findings at leading conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, or SIGGRAPH.
