3D Computer Graphics R&D Engineer (non-remote)

Computer Graphics Engineer - Research & FrontendThis is a full-time 3DGS research position in Cleveland, OH, with potential flexibility for some remote work and occasional travel. This is a rare opportunity for you to learn and explore 3DGS and related technologies. As a Computer Graphics Engineer, you will implement and test new 3D data rendering and reconstruction methodologies and prototype tools with them. It is a hybrid of R&D and product development. You will work with data generated with our imaging hardware and try new 3D reconstruction and rendering techniques with these data. You will optimize the methods to work with our data. You will also track technology trends in NeRF and 3DGS and evaluate new methods as they come out. Finally, you will build and deploy tools to share your development with our non-technical users.DisqualificationYou probably should not apply for this position if you are not familiar with image data. That being said, you should be familiar with all common functions in Photoshop or GIMP and describe them using math and code. You also must be authorized to work in the United States, as we are unable to sponsor H1B in the near term.QualificationsPlease demonstrate your strong interest in 3DGS. If you are just looking for a job, please do not apply. You should be very familiar with the fundamental aspects of 3D reconstruction, rendering, and visualization. Although knowledge of frameworks like Unity and Three.js is important, we are looking for someone who goes beyond these. You must keep yourself updated with the new 3D rendering and reconstruction technologies, be able to quickly evaluate new methods, experiment with their implementations, and quickly prototype tools with them. If you worked with photogrammetry, SFM, and MVS, you are on the right track. If NeRF and 3DGS sound exciting to you, this is the job for you. You must be proficient in Python and C++, as many libraries and demo repos are based on those. You should have used Torch and COLMAP in the past. Being able to draft a simple front-end interface is also a necessary skill for prototyping and demonstrating the results. A lot of data processing will be on the could, so it is nice if you already know how that works. Finally, you must be authorized to work in the United States, as we are unable to sponsor H1B in the near term.About OpsiClearAt OpsiClear, we revolutionize clinical image visualization. We integrate hardware and software to generate vivid and comprehensive 3D visualizations of clinically relevant objects, as small as a cell and as big as your body. Leveraging AI and AR, we unlock novel clinical insights, provide comprehensive visual documentation, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and improve the clinical experience.Things you should knowWe are an early-stage startup. You will be one of the first members of our team, which means you will help shape our culture and build our foundation. You will have more freedom to make critical decisions, and you should feel comfortable criticizing or confronting decisions from others. It also means you must be proactive, responsible, and self-motivated. Working in a very small team also means you may feel a little bit lonely, lost, and unsupported. Administrative assistance is minimal. Policies can be unclear. You should be prepared for that.Interview ProcessPre-interview (~15-30 min): We introduce ourselves, ask basic questions, and determine if we like each other.Behavioral interview (~30-45 min): We talk about your technical background, previous work experience, etc.Technical interview(s) (~60 min): There will be one or two technical interviews. The interviews evaluate your proficiency in the skills needed for this position. You will prepare your own development environment and screen share your problem-solving process. We will provide instructions before the interview.Last few thingsYou may be assigned to extra startup operational jobs, but we will keep things balanced across the team. We will work with a lot of images relevant to surgery. Please make sure you are not uncomfortable with those. We value work-life balance, but there will be times of job overload occasionally.
