Company mission
To bring new levels of transparency to construction.
Role
Who you are
- M.S./Ph.D. in related field or equivalent industry experience
- 5+ years of industry experience developing computer vision and machine learning models for image processing
- Strong expertise in camera models, calibration, and 3D pose representations/transforms
- Experience with SLAM, SfM, 3D reconstruction, photogrammetry, or VIO
- Proficiency in deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch)
- Experience working with multi-modal models combining images and language
- Deep understanding of fundamental CV: feature detection/matching, probabilistic modeling, computational geometry, and numerical optimization
- Experience with 3D visualizations and debug interfaces (OpenGL/PyQt)
What the job involves
- We're looking for an experienced Sr. Computer Vision Engineer to own core algorithms for mapping, localization, image analysis, and 3D reconstruction on real-world construction site data. This role centers on advanced computer vision but integrates modern machine learning methodologies to optimize performance on real-world construction site data. You will leverage classical CV, deep learning (transformers, multi-modal models), and probabilistic modeling to provide meaningful insights to our customers
- Design and architect complex, multi-component computer vision and machine learning systems
- Develop and optimize image localization, SLAM, SfM, and 3D reconstruction techniques
- Implement deep learning models for visual perception, leveraging modern techniques (LLMs, VLLMs, transformers, and generative AI)
- Prototype and rigorously test algorithms on real-world construction site data
- Collaborate with platform engineers to transition research prototypes into production-ready implementations
- Oversee dataset creation, curation, and annotation to ensure high-quality training and validation data
- Monitor system performance in production, ensuring scalability and robustness
Our take
360 photos and virtual tours are nothing new. Popularly used to enhance estate agent listings, or create tours of attractions, tools such as Kuula, Panoskin, and Matterport have captured that market. But OpenSpace is applying similar technologies to another industry sector - construction.
With a simple store-bought camera attached to a hard hat, a site walk-through creates a virtual 3D replica of any space. This detailed capture, reminiscent of Google Street View, eliminates the need for site visits, saving time and also reducing risks of visitors to building sites.
Other 360 virtual tour companies will probably offer their services to construction in the future, but OpenSpace hopes to keep the lead with its superior processing speed. (Its approach creates results in just fifteen minutes as opposed to the hours or days of other systems.) It is also well-funded, so can get on with scaling the business and developing additional AI-powered technologies to keep its value up.
