Job 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.

Job Responsibility:

  • 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

Requirements:

  • 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

Nice to have:

  • Experience with computational cameras (light field cameras, event sensors, SPADs, etc.) is highly desirable
  • Experience with deep learning methods is desirable, but not required
What we offer:
  • tuition reimbursement program
  • flexible working hours
  • six weeks paid time off
  • 401(k)
  • health insurance
  • life insurance
  • short- and long-term disability insurance
  • bonus plan
