This position is not eligible for H-1B Sponsorship. * Willingness to work on-site in Columbia, MD, in a hybrid capacity. * Meet Quidient, customer, and government security requirements, which may include, but are not limited to a background check, citizenship verification, and Criminal Justice Information Services verification., * Experience in fast-paced or startup environments. * Experience with 3D reconstruction pipelines, including SfM, MVS, or neural scene representations (NeRF, Gaussian Splatting). * Exposure to mobile CV deployment (ARKit, ARCore, on-device inference) or autonomous vehicle perception stacks. * Experience with CI/CD, pipeline orchestration, or data validation frameworks in an ML or CV context. * Familiarity with SLAM, visual-inertial odometry, or sensor fusion systems. * Publications or open-source contributions in computer vision or 3D reconstruction (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, or similar venues). ## Description * Own and maintain end-to-end computer vision pipelines - from image preprocessing and calibration through feature extraction, depth estimation, and segmentation - ensuring data flows correctly across the platform. * Diagnose and resolve pipeline failures, data quality issues, and integration bugs across CV modules, keeping reconstruction inputs clean and reliable. * Build monitoring, testing, and validation infrastructure around CV pipelines to catch regressions early and maintain output quality. * Ensure CV pipelines perform reliably across deployment targets including mobile and autonomous vehicle platforms., * Work across product and engineering teams to integrate CV outputs into downstream systems - reconstruction, rendering, and platform services. * Define and maintain interfaces and data contracts between CV modules and the teams that consume them, reducing integration friction. * Use PyTorch and related frameworks to debug, profile, and maintain ML-based CV components in production. * Build tooling and scripts that accelerate development workflows across the CV stack. * Contribute production-quality code in C++ and Python across shared CV infrastructure. * Collaborate closely with SLAM, SfM, reconstruction, and platform engineering teams to keep the full pipeline healthy and shipping. ## Related Videos - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
