In the past 3 years, Dandy has built the leading digital-first custom dental appliance manufacturer. As we go through our next level of scale, Dandy is building a world class team to enhance our 3D dental platform and automate many of the human-driven processes in our manufacturing today.

The team tackles problems involving 3D geometric computer vision, generative deep learning, and SOTA machine learning methods. You will establish best practices, solve ambiguous imaging and rendering problems that have never been solved before with industry wide impact, and be given the freedom to innovate.

What You'll Do

Make technical decisions on algorithmic strategy and data representations to help drive to business value quickly
Setting up systems and best practices to accelerate interdisciplinary teams’ velocity
Guide junior engineers to bring research code into production
Implement current CV, ML, Inverse Rending and PBR approaches to solve the problems related to creating esthetic dental restorations
Recover the optical properties of human teeth from images, 3D textures and meshes
Learning the influence of lighting conditions on true color as it relates to teeth
Learning the mapping between true color and manufacturing paints/ink and manufacturing processes
Develop realistic rendering pipelines to aid in the design of color and optical properties of teeth to match patients

What We're Looking For

10+ years experience in software development
3+ years of experience in rendering or rendering adjacent projects (reconstruction, optical property rectification, ray tracing/casting, etc)
3+ years of experience in 2D or 3D computer vision
Experience bringing research product to market
Experience with one or more of the following:
- Simulating/modeling optical properties of materials under different lighting conditions
- Inverse rending, scene/object reconstruction from photos
- Photo realistic rendering
- Normalization of true color/material properties from different types of cameras/sensors.
- Mapping desired optical properties of materials to inputs for manufacturing processes with the intent of controlling/matching the optical properties of the outputs from said manufacturing processes.
- Experience with neural rendering, NeRFs, lighting reconstruction, or a similar field in computer graphics.

Bonus Points For

Masters/PhD in computer vision/computer graphics or related field
Experience with photo realistic rendering and color restoration of teeth would be a bonus but not required

For full time positions, we offer a wide range of best in class, comprehensive and inclusive employee benefits including healthcare, dental, parental planning, mental health benefits, a 401(k) plan, and paid time off.
