Company mission
To disrupt the home improvement industry and reinvent the homeowner experience by building the world's most comprehensive and accurate physical property data set.
Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of experience in process engineering, production systems, mapping, or automation
- Hands-on experience with human-in-the-loop systems, manufacturing optimization, or digital production pipelines
- Familiarity with 3D reconstruction, photogrammetry, mapping tools, or related computer vision technologies—bonus if you've worked with digital twins or 3D gaming/design/art platforms
- A systems thinker who can zoom out to architect workflows and zoom in to resolve edge-case bottlenecks
- Comfortable collaborating across technical and non-technical teams to design and implement process improvements
- Pragmatic and iterative in your approach—you favor small, fast wins that drive measurable progress
- Thrive in early-stage, ambiguous, or rapidly scaling environments
- Exposure to Python, automation scripting, or workflow orchestration tools is a plus
What the job involves
- We're seeking a Process Engineer to help evolve our hybrid 3D reconstruction system into a robust, automation-first platform
- In this role, you'll be at the forefront of designing and optimizing workflows that balance machine intelligence with human expertise.
- Working closely with computer vision researchers, operations specialists, and software engineers, you’ll lead efforts to increase automation, enhance efficiency, and maintain our industry-leading accuracy and quality
- Analyze and map our existing 3D reconstruction workflows to identify high-impact opportunities for automation and optimization
- Design scalable processes that integrate AI-driven techniques (e.g., photogrammetry, depth estimation) with targeted human intervention
- Create performance metrics and closed-loop feedback systems to monitor automation accuracy and reduce manual correction efforts
- Run A/B tests and pilot initiatives to evaluate improvements in speed, cost-efficiency, and quality
- Collaborate with the Operations team to deploy automation enhancements in live production environments
- Lead change management efforts, including documentation, training, and stakeholder alignment as automation is rolled out
Our take
Hover sets out to disrupt the exterior home improvement industry with a platform that enables homeowners to turn basic photos of their property into full 3D models. The platform uses up to eight ground-level photographs of the property, which are patched together into a three-dimensional image.
This image, which is layered with information on materials and dimensions of the structure, can then be used by insurance companies to assess and price damage, without the need to dispatch an inspector.
Hover has had over one million app downloads and following series D financing in 2020, the company has invested in enhancing its 3D data platform whilst expanding its eCommerce efforts. In 2022, Hover was named one of CB Insights Top 50 innovative Insurtech companies 2022.
