The Position
Metalenz is developing next-generation sensing systems for consumer electronics with metasurface technology. As a Software Engineer, you will help develop computer vision and image processing algorithms to work with our engineered meta-optic camera systems. A successful candidate will be able to implement existing and new computer vision algorithms for 3D scene reconstruction, segmentation, and biometric tasks.
What you’ll do
Conceive and implement computer vision algorithms using our unique meta-optic capabilities and bring truly secure authentication to the mass market
Work in facial identification, presentation attack detection, and scene synthesis
Implement your algorithms on our unique camera hardware
Assist the hardware team to guide development and provide a clear understanding of necessary specifications for task performance
Collaborate by writing documentation, engaging in code review, and commenting on design documents
What you’ll need
MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or relevant field and/or demonstrated excellence in relevant technical domains through open-source contributions or publications
5+ years' experience building computer vision solutions
Broad understanding of methods and tooling, from OpenCV to deep learning approaches (i.e. Tensorflow, PyTorch, Jax)
Knowledge of cameras, image processing, and computer vision techniques
Experience building computer vision algorithms for biometric and/or facial ID applications
Familiarity with software engineering best practices (version control, data provenance, code profiling and unit tests)
Proficiency in Python, C++, and/or Julia
The Company
Metalenz is a growing, venture-backed start-up that is the first to commercialize meta-optics and enable the next generation of 3D sensing in consumer electronics, automotive and industrial robotics markets. Built on research from Harvard University, Metalenz has 20+ patents on innovations that simplify and improve optical devices. Unlike traditional optics, the company’s metasurface technology provides complex, multifunctional optical performance in a single semiconductor layer, relocating large-scale production of optics to semiconductor foundries, that print lenses like computer chips.
Metalenz recently closed a $30M Series B financing led by Neotribe Ventures, and returning investors including 3M Ventures, Applied Ventures LLC, Intel Capital, M Ventures, TDK Ventures, and Foothill Ventures. Now in the market, Metalenz metasurface optics will be in millions of consumer devices this year. Based in downtown Boston near TD Garden, Metalenz is conveniently located across the street from North Station.
