Lumotive is seeking a computer vision engineer who will lead efforts to use our revolutionary lidar hardware to create world class 3D point cloud data and to harness the capabilities of software-defined beam steering. In this role, you will:

• Architect, develop, and implement algorithms to process raw lidar data into high-resolution, artifact-free point clouds
• Leverage the Lumotive software-defined beam steering technology to develop algorithms for optimal scanning patterns for closed-loop object tracking and advanced perception capabilities
• Interface with optical systems team to understand how optical and hardware design impact 3D imaging performance
• Develop a computer vision platform that fuses multiple sensor inputs such as lidar and cameras
• Participate in all phases of development: architecture, implementation, testing, build and release

• Masters or PhD Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field is preferred
• Experience with computer vision algorithms, especially in the context of 3D data
• Experience with 2D and 3D image processing and filtering
• Experience with indirect and direct time of flight 3D sensors
• Understanding of statistical and system sources of error in 3D imaging systems
• Experience with algorithm development such as object segmentation, classification is preferred but not required
• Experience working in both prototyping and formal product development environments
• Experience programming in C, C++, Cuda and Python
