Munich - Berlin - London - Paris. Posted 6 days ago
The role
You will develop and benchmark computer vision models and pipelines for scene matching, geo-registration, SLAM, and 3D reconstruction. You will also adapt these models to target hardware and operational constraints.
What you will do
- Developing and benchmarking scene matching and geo-registration pipelines.
- Building and evaluating SLAM, visual odometry, or structure-from-motion systems.
- Researching and adapting geometric deep learning or feature matching methods.
- Collaborating with product and deployment teams to integrate outputs into pipelines.
- Developing computer vision models and pipelines.
- Designing experiments and conducting benchmarks.
- Adapting techniques to target hardware and constraints.
Required qualifications
- MSc in computer science, machine learning, robotics, or a closely related field.
- Experience in designing, implementing, and evaluating advanced AI-based systems.
- Hands-on experience developing localisation, scene matching, or 3D reconstruction systems.
- Familiarity with modern approaches to geometric computer vision and deep learning.
- Experience with learned feature matching, place recognition, visual SLAM, visual-inertial odometry (VIO), or neural 3D representations.
- Experience with domain adaptation or model compression.
- Solid software engineering skills in Python.
- Experience deploying AI software to production including testing, QA, and monitoring.
- Excellent communication skills to report and present research findings.
Nice to have
- PhD in computer vision, machine learning, robotics, or a related field, with publications in top-tier venues.
- Experience designing, evaluating, and delivering end-to-end AI systems on edge devices with constrained compute resources.
- Experience with simulators, emulators, or synthetic data generation pipelines for geometry or localisation tasks.
- Experience with Rust and/or C++.
