Our technology, The Atom, is already being used on major construction projects around the world to help teams build more accurately, efficiently and with fewer mistakes.\nOur R&D team applies computer vision, spatial AI and machine learning to one of the most demanding real-world settings there is: the active construction site.\nAs a Series B business entering our next phase of growth, we're investing in our R&D capability and growing our team in Calgary, Canada.\nWe’re looking for a Senior AI / Computer Vision Engineer with deep expertise in 3D computer vision and spatial AI to join the team and help develop the perception technology behind our products.\nThe Role\nThis is an opportunity to solve computer vision problems that exist at the intersection of the digital and physical world.\nYou’ll develop the perception and scene-understanding systems that enable our wearable technology to recognise construction objects, understand complex 3D environments, and relate what’s on site to the design model, using real-world sensor data.\nFor this role, 3D / spatial computer vision expertise is fundamental. We’re looking for someone who understands how AI and computer vision can reason about physical space, not simply someone with broader AI or machine learning experience.\nYou’ll work across research, algorithm development, optimisation, deployment and productisation, taking sophisticated computer vision techniques and turning them into robust technology capable of performing on active construction sites.\nYou’ll bring senior technical expertise to the team as we build our capability and presence in Calgary. You’ll also collaborate closely with our Navigation, Embedded Software, Hardware and Product teams across the wider business.\nThis is a role where you can combine deep technical work with real-world impact, seeing the algorithms and systems you develop ultimately deployed through wearable technology on some of the world's most complex construction projects.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nDevelop advanced computer vision algorithms for construction scene understanding and spatial intelligence.\n\nDesign and develop semantic segmentation, object detection and instance segmentation models.\n\nBuild algorithms capable of understanding 3D environments, spatial relationships and physical geometry.\n\nDevelop automated BIM correspondence and object-matching capabilities.\n\nDevelop algorithms using multi-modal sensor data.\n\nCombine AI, 3D vision, SLAM and BIM to develop geometric and spatial reasoning capabilities.\n\nExplore emerging scene representation techniques including Gaussian Splatting and NeRFs.\n\nImprove localisation-assisted perception and robustness across varying lighting, weather and real-world site conditions.\n\nDesign, train and evaluate large-scale deep learning models.\n\nDevelop data pipelines supporting supervised, self-supervised and semi-supervised learning.\n\nEvaluate emerging foundation models, multimodal AI and modern computer vision techniques where they can add meaningful value.\n\nOptimise models for embedded deployment, improving inference speed, accuracy and robustness.\n\nDeploy and optimise models for embedded GPU platforms.\n\nBuild and improve production inference pipelines, benchmarking performance, latency and accuracy.\n\nContribute to technical architecture, design reviews and our technical direction.\n\nShare knowledge and mentor other engineers as the team continues to grow.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n5+ years’ industrial experience in Computer Vision, with strong hands-on experience solving complex technical problems.\n\nMSc or PhD in Computer Vision, AI, Computer Science or a related discipline.\n\nExperience with perception for autonomous or embodied systems, such as SLAM, sensor fusion or state estimation, would be valuable.\n\nDeep expertise in 3D Computer Vision / Spatial AI, this is a core requirement for the role.\n\nStrong understanding of geometry, spatial relationships and scene understanding.\n\nExperience developing and deploying computer vision and deep learning systems in production.\n\nStrong Python development skills and expert knowledge of PyTorch.\n\nExperience with semantic segmentation, object detection, image understanding and modern computer vision architectures.\n\nExperience designing and training large-scale deep learning models and working with large image datasets.\n\nStrong mathematical foundations in machine learning and computer vision.\n\nAbility to bridge research and production engineering, comfortable exploring emerging techniques while remaining focused on building robust, deployable products.\n\nStrong debugging and problem-solving skills and the ability to work through complex, ambiguous technical challenges.\n\nA collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.\n\nWhat matters most for this role is genuine depth in 3D / spatial computer vision and the ability to apply that expertise to complex, real-world engineering problems.\nWe’re particularly interested in someone who is curious about where computer vision and AI are heading, but who also has the practical engineering mindset to turn emerging research into technology that works reliably outside of the lab.\nWhat You Could Be Working On\nFrom the outset, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to some of our highest-priority R&D initiatives, including:\n3D construction scene understanding\n\nConstruction semantic segmentation\n\nAutomated BIM understanding and object correspondence\n\nSpatial reasoning across wearable sensor data\n\nEmbedded AI deployment\n\nFoundation models for construction understanding\n\nPerception for wearable AR\n\nWhy Join Us\nWork at the intersection of Spatial AI, 3D Computer Vision, AR and real-world engineering\n\nSolve genuinely difficult perception and scene-understanding problems\n\nDevelop AI that ultimately runs through physical, wearable technology - not just software on a screen\n\nSee your work applied to some of the world’s most ambitious construction projects\n\nJoin a Series B business at an exciting stage of international growth\n\nWork alongside specialists across Computer Vision, AI, Navigation, Embedded Software and Hardware\n\nHave meaningful influence over technical architecture and the future direction of our perception technology\n\nBuild technology with tangible, real-world impact\n\nIf you’re passionate about 3D computer vision and spatial AI, enjoy solving difficult problems at the intersection of research and engineering, and want to see your work move from algorithms into technology being used in the physical world, we’d love to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6792,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotic Software & Control Systems","AR & VR Software","Construction","Construction Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-19T13:41:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":31,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.71,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":66,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/xyz-reality-senior-ai-computer-vision-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/xyz-reality-senior-ai-computer-vision-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T03:28:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4660,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4360},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4360"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fxyz-reality-senior-ai-computer-vision-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fxyz-reality-senior-ai-computer-vision-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fxyz-reality-senior-ai-computer-vision-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/xyz-reality-senior-ai-computer-vision-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fxyz-reality-senior-ai-computer-vision-engineer"}]}
