What is a Computational Imaging job?

A Computational Imaging job involves developing algorithms and techniques to enhance, reconstruct, or extract information from images using computational methods. Professionals in this field work at the intersection of imaging hardware, signal processing, and artificial intelligence to improve image quality and enable new imaging capabilities. These roles are common in industries like medical imaging, computer vision, scientific research, and autonomous systems. Strong skills in programming, mathematics, and image processing are typically required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Computational Imaging position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Computational Imaging, you need a strong background in mathematics, computer science, and image processing, usually supported by an advanced degree in a related field. Expertise with programming languages like Python or MATLAB, experience with imaging software, and sometimes familiarity with machine learning frameworks are essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication skills set top candidates apart. These capabilities enable professionals to design and implement innovative algorithms that solve complex imaging challenges across industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and remote sensing.

What types of projects might a Computational Imaging professional work on in a typical company?

Computational Imaging professionals often work on projects such as developing advanced algorithms for medical image reconstruction, enhancing image quality in cameras, or creating systems for non-destructive testing in manufacturing. Day-to-day responsibilities can include collaborating with multidisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists, and product managers to solve complex imaging problems and support product development. These roles may involve both research and prototyping, as well as optimizing solutions for deployment in real-world applications. The variety of projects allows for skill growth and frequent opportunities to see your work directly impact products and services.

Job description

Team Description:
Kitware’s computational imaging team uses traditional and non-traditional image sensors in novel ways to address challenges faced by our customers. Our solutions embrace deep learning and add measurable value to government agencies, commercial organizations, and academic institutions worldwide. We understand the opportunities of non-traditional visual sensors to improve the performance of real-world applications of computer vision. We seek to advance the fields of computational imaging, computer vision, and deep learning through research and development and through collaborative projects that build on our open source software platforms, such as VIAME and Telesculptor. 

About the Projects: 
Kitware’s employees have unique opportunities to interact and collaborate directly with customers, visit interesting customer sites, and participate in live field tests and demonstrations. Much of Kitware’s work involves applying state-of-the-art computational imaging and artificial intelligence approaches to dynamic, real-world problems. You will have the opportunity to contribute your skills to projects focused on national security, making a difference on a daily basis to protect our country. Research and Development Engineers at Kitware also enjoy benefits commonly associated with a position in academia, such as support and encouragement for the publication of novel work.

We partner with premier government R&D agencies such as DARPA, IARPA, AFRL, NVESD, NOAA, ONR, other branches of the US military, and multiple members of the Intelligence Community on a range of efforts including prime contracts, SBIRs, and STTRs. In addition, we provide commercial services to companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Kitware employs an open source business model to foster extended, collaborative communities, and to provide flexible, high-quality technical solutions. If you’ve used CMake, ITK, or VTK, you know our work and the impact it has on the communities we help build.
In This Position You Will:
  • Develop robust computational imaging solutions to capture and process visual information, often in challenging environments (e.g. turbulence and low lighting)
  • Enjoy support and encouragement for participation in national and international conferences (such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICCP, WACV, and 3DV)
  • Be encouraged to seek funding to grow and develop your own research areas, if you desire
Required Qualifications:
  • PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Optics, or related field
  • Strong publication record in top-tier research publications and conferences
  • Highly innovative and demonstrated track record for solving difficult technical challenges using imagery
  • Experience collaborating successfully with others and thriving in a fast-paced and dynamic work environment
  • Candidates should include a detailed list of publications as part of their resume/CV
  • Due to contractual restrictions, only US Citizens will be considered for this position
  • If not already cleared TS/SCI, willingness and ability to apply for and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with computational cameras (light field cameras, event sensors, SPADs, etc.) is highly desirable
  • Experience with deep learning methods is desirable, but not required
Company Description:
Kitware is a research and development software solutions provider with a mission to advance science, make a positive impact, and share our results all within a collaborative, employee-focused work environment that is friendly, fair, and flexible. Our work is improving healthcare outcomes, increasing national security, and advancing our national computing infrastructure.
