Marketing Specialist

Company Overview

Compound Eye enables machines to understand their surroundings in 3D and in real time using only passive sensors like cameras and IMUs. Our VIDAS™ technology takes video from automotive-grade cameras and outputs a dense, semantic 3D representation of the world that vehicles and robots use to navigate their environment—a fully redundant alternative to LiDAR and radar. We have customers across automotive, agriculture, healthcare, and defense, and are backed by Khosla Ventures, RTX Ventures, and other tier-one investors.

We’re a US team of 25 with a mission to teach machines to see. Our culture is built on transparency, mutual respect, and valuing great ideas wherever they come from.
