3D Reconstruction Scientist

About UsArray Labs is building a new way to understand the physical world.Today, most geospatial systems are built around flat imagery, incomplete elevation models, slow refresh cycles, or narrow-area surveys. The world increasingly needs something better: accurate, frequently updated 3D information about the places, infrastructure, terrain, and activity that shape human decisions.Array is building that system. We are developing a coordinated fleet of radar satellites designed to create high-resolution 3D data products of the Earth at unprecedented scale, speed, and reliability. Our technology is built to work across wide areas, through clouds, day and night, and to support both commercial and government customers operating in environments where timely physical-world understanding matters.We design and build our satellites, radar payloads, sensing systems, and data products end-to-end. Our goal is to make 3D geospatial intelligence dramatically more accessible, useful, and operationally relevant for customers in mapping, infrastructure, disaster response, defense, intelligence, energy, telecommunications, mining, and other industries that depend on understanding the changing Earth.About the JobAs a 3D Reconstruction Scientist on this team, you will develop and deploy algorithms that reconstruct 3D structure from distributed radar and optical sensors. You’ll work on multi-view geometry, tomography, and large-scale inverse problems, and you’ll be responsible for taking methods from prototype to production on real satellite data. The approaches you design will directly set the limits on the resolution, accuracy, and reliability of Array’s 3D products.As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in the design of the world’s most advanced radar satellite constellation—one that will significantly improve humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.ResponsibilitiesResearch, design, and implement tomographic algorithms for 3D image reconstruction utilizing complex phase-history data from radar and optical sensorsDevelop autofocus techniques to sharpen images affected by inaccurate position knowledge of the sensor platform, and/or phase inaccuracies caused by various hardware imperfections in our distributed sensor systemDevelop efficient data preprocessing and calibration techniques to enhance the quality and accuracy of 3D reconstructionsOptimize algorithms for near real-time production of 3D imagery in our cloud-based production pipelineCollaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate 3D image reconstruction solutions into our products and servicesConduct thorough testing, validation, and performance evaluation of 3D image reconstruction algorithms to ensure they meet end-user expectationsBasic QualificationsBachelor's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field4+ years of experience in 3D image reconstruction, 3D computer vision, multi-view geometry or a related fieldExcellent teamwork and communication skillsLearns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed mannerHigh levels of self-motivation and personal accountabilityAbility to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraintsProficient in Python, MATLAB, or C/C++Preferred QualificationsMaster’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field2+ years of experience deploying 3D image processing/generation algorithms into production pipelines2+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas:signal processing for tomographic SAR and/or interferometric SARDepth estimation using stereo images, multi-view geometry, or optical flowGenerating 3D images from 2D sensorsEstimation theoretic approaches to 3D localizationAmbiguity resolution for 3D localizationExperience adapting image processing algorithms for GPU clusters Experience with stochastic and adaptive signal processing techniquesExperience extracting insights from 3D data products via AI/ML techniquesExperience creating 3D data products from geospatial data sets is a plusITAR RequirementsTo conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of StateEqual Opportunity EmployerArray Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
