  • 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
