Computer Vision Research Scientist

Summary:

We're building the next generation of computer vision technology for wearables. You'll own a core technical area spanning reconstruction and generative enhancement, and drive it from research through production on wearables.

Required Skills:

Computer Vision Research Scientist Responsibilities:

1. Own a core area of our reconstruction stack and set its technical direction

2. Advance 3D visual representations, optimizing them for on-device delivery and representation

3. Develop image composition and correction techniques

4. Lead generative quality improvement for real-world capture

5. Optimize models for on-device inference under hard compute, memory, latency, thermal, and power constraints, and partition work between device and cloud

6. Define image quality gates

7. Own training data strategy,

8. Partner with product and platform teams to take prototypes through dogfooding and experimentation to shipped features

9. Shape the technical roadmap for your area and influence it across organizational boundaries

10. Deliver production-quality code, review others' work, and raise the engineering bar
