of product quality software modules and documentation.

Requirements:
• A passion for working with a high energy team to develop
technologies aimed at improving the
lives of millions of people.
• Advanced MS or PhD students in Computer Science or Electrical
Engineering preferred. Other
exceptional candidates will also be considered.
• Solid knowledge in model‐based computer vision (3d rendering, image
matching, camera pose
estimation), visual object tracking, image search, sensor fusion,
volumetric medical imaging and
probabilistic analysis. Hands‐on experience in one or more of these
areas is strongly preferred.
• Strong programming skill with C/C++ and Matlab and familiarity with
OpenCV and OpenGL.
• Good knowledge of computer‐vision related hardware (camera hardware,
graphics accelerators,
drivers, and etc).
