What We're Looking For:

The advanced computer vision software developer will work on Computer Vision projects leading the

turning of our core algorithms from prototypes to high quality product ready code. The developer will

architect, design and implement strategies for optimizing computer vision algorithms for different

hardware architectures (e.g. x86, GPU, multi-core ARM CPU, DSP) based on performance, power and

size constraints.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

 Lead development of turning prototyped computer vision algorithms into high quality product

ready code

 Design and provide strategies for optimizing computer vision algorithms for different embedded

system and mobile devices

 Serve in a leadership capacity for carrying out software development in C, C++ or other selected

languages.

 Use status as a knowledge leader in software design and functional knowledge to provide

technical leadership to a given program

 Define requirements for and may design complex new tools to aid in the analysis and solving of

complex problems.

 Estimate scope, duration, effort and risk on project proposals.

 Initiate cross-company collaboration and develop positive relationships with other engineering

disciplines

 Design and/or review architected modules and software systems supporting new technology or

improving capability/performance of existing functionality

 Take responsibility for communicating with different engineers (embedded systems, backend

server, computer vision) to continuously improve and optimize implemented algorithms

learning systems

 Preferred work experience (years): 8+

 Broad understanding of computer vision; key areas of interest include object detection, tracking

and recognition, multiple view geometry, OCR detection, camera calibrations, 3D data

processing, SfM/SLAM, activity recognition

 Significant latitude used in determining objectives of assignment.

 Optimization experience on embedded GPU and DSP platforms: Nvidia, ARM.

 Parallelized & vectorized computation.

 Solid GPU programming experience using CUDA or Open CL

 Excellent C, C++11 and above programming skills.

 Experience in signal processing algorithms and implementation.
