Job Summary:
FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world by building advanced AI systems for robotics. The Senior Software Engineer in 3D Computer Vision will develop and optimize point cloud processing pipelines and design efficient algorithms for large-scale 3D datasets, ensuring scalable deployment of algorithms.
Responsibilities:
• Develop and optimize point cloud processing pipelines, including registration, denoising, normal estimation, segmentation, and primitive extraction
• Design efficient algorithms for large-scale, unstructured 3D datasets with attention to memory and runtime performance
• Implement production-grade computational geometry and linear algebra in C++ and Python
• Solve complex reconstruction challenges such as loop closure, global consistency, and multi-view fusion
• Evaluate and integrate emerging 3D vision methods (e.g., neural implicit representations, advanced meshing techniques)
• Partner with platform teams to ensure scalable, efficient deployment of algorithms
Qualifications:
Required:
• 2+ years of experience in Computer Vision, Computational Geometry, or 3D-focused Software Engineering
• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or related field with specialization in 3D vision or geometric processing
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++14/17) and Python
• Solid mathematical foundation in 3D geometry, linear algebra, rigid body transformations (SE(3), quaternions), and projective geometry
• Deep experience with point cloud algorithms (ICP, GICP, RANSAC, NDT, region growing) and spatial data structures (k-d trees, octrees, voxel grids)
• Hands-on experience with libraries such as PCL, Open3D, Eigen, or Ceres
• Familiarity with common 3D data formats (PCD, PLY, E57, LAS)
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate academic research into production-ready code
Preferred:
• Experience with non-linear optimization frameworks (Ceres, GTSAM, g2o) for bundle adjustment or pose graph optimization
• Background in SLAM or Structure from Motion (SfM) pipelines
• Experience processing LiDAR, RGB-D, or photogrammetry datasets
• Familiarity with Linux development environments and containerization (Docker)
• Exposure to ROS (not required)
• Knowledge of survey-grade accuracy standards and georeferencing algorithms
