CV/ML Engineer
Canvas is at the forefront of revolutionizing the remodeling, architecture and interior design industry through cutting-edge AI and computer vision technology. With our LiDAR-enabled iPhone or iPad scans, we capture precise 3D representations of homes in minutes, providing interactive models with accurate-to-the-inch measurements. Our proprietary process then turns these scans into highly detailed, editable, as-built files in industry-standard formats. Our technology was featured in Apple's keynote when the iPhone's LiDAR sensor was introduced and now we model millions of square feet each month.
We’re an early-stage startup that is growing and ready to accelerate even further. As a global virtual-first company, our team members are distributed worldwide, with a concentration in the US and Europe.
Job Description
We are looking for a Computer Vision / Machine Learning Engineer to help bring our Scan-to-CAD automation to a new level. In this role, you’ll have an opportunity to generate tremendous business impact by leveraging our unique huge dataset of scans and CAD models of real-world spaces to drive process automation using cutting-edge computer vision and deep learning techniques. This role assumes a mix of research and engineering: from papers review and experimentation to production deployments and integration with other parts of the product. Join our core innovation team and help us push the boundaries of 3D scene understanding and spatial intelligence.
What you’ll do
- Read research papers and experiment with state-of-the-art approaches in the field of 3D scene understanding and Scan-to-CAD conversion
- Develop new algorithms and train neural networks to solve the Scan-to-CAD conversion problem both end-to-end and in parts
- Collaborate closely with the 3D Operations, Visualization & Tooling and other teams to improve the efficiency of manual Scan-to-CAD conversion by automating our internal 3D tooling and integrating developed CV/ML solutions into the production pipeline
- Improving the ML infrastructure: setting up the efficient data pipelines, automating the training and deployment processes
You should have
- Deep expertise and extensive hands-on experience with modern machine learning techniques in the field of computer vision
- Rapid iteration and experimentation skills, ability to quickly evaluate ideas and test their fit to the product needs, ability to plan, setup and implement large-scale experiments
- Strong skills of working with research literature: you should be ready to review dozens of papers within days; you should be able to grasp key concepts and ideas from papers quickly and efficiently
- Good knowledge of Python and PyTorch
- Strong communication skills, fluent English
- Comfortable working across multiple time zones and cultures
Nice to have
- MS or PhD with specialization in machine learning or computer vision, or relevant experience in academia
- Publications on 1st-tier computer vision conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV)
- Experience with machine learning in application to the 3D domain, especially the problem of 3D scene understanding, but also SLAM, 3D reconstruction, depth estimation, and similar
- Knowledge of MLOps best practices at least on application level
- Understanding of 3d model representation
