• 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
Qualifications:
Required:
• 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:
• 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:
Kitware advances science and technology to make a meaningful difference in the world. Founded in 1998, the company is headquartered in Clifton Park, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
