Software Engineer - Computer Vision Algorithms
The Position Metalenz is developing next-generation sensing systems for consumer electronics with metasurface technology. As a Software Engineer, you will help develop computer vision and image processing algorithms to work with our engineered meta-optic camera systems. A successful candidate will be able to implement existing and new computer vision algorithms for 3D scene reconstruction, segmentation, and biometric tasks. What you’ll do • Conceive and implement computer vision algorithms using our unique meta-optic capabilities and bring truly secure authentication to the mass market • Work in facial identification, presentation attack detection, and scene synthesis • Implement your algorithms on our unique camera hardware • Assist the hardware team to guide development and provide a clear understanding of necessary specifications for task performance • Collaborate by writing documentation, engaging in code review, and commenting on design documents What you’ll need • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or relevant field and/or demonstrated excellence in relevant technical domains through open-source contributions or publications • 5+ years' experience building computer vision solutions • Broad understanding of methods and tooling, from OpenCV to deep learning approaches (i.e. Tensorflow, PyTorch, Jax) • Knowledge of cameras, image processing, and computer vision techniques • Experience building computer vision algorithms for biometric and/or facial ID applications • Familiarity with software engineering best practices (version control, data provenance, code profiling and unit tests) • Proficiency in Python, C++, and/or Julia The Company Metalenz is a growing, venture-backed start-up that is the first to commercialize meta-optics and enable the next generation of 3D sensing in consumer electronics, automotive and industrial robotics markets. Built on research from Harvard University, Metalenz has 20+ patents on innovations that simplify and improve optical devices. Unlike traditional optics, the company’s metasurface technology provides complex, multifunctional optical performance in a single semiconductor layer, relocating large-scale production of optics to semiconductor foundries, that print lenses like computer chips. Metalenz recently closed a $30M Series B financing led by Neotribe Ventures, and returning investors including 3M Ventures, Applied Ventures LLC, Intel Capital, M Ventures, TDK Ventures, and Foothill Ventures. Now in the market, Metalenz metasurface optics will be in millions of consumer devices this year.
