Contribute to the development of machine learning models across various 3D computer vision problems.

Work across the full ML stack, including model architectures, data capture and curation, model evaluation, training, and inference infrastructure.

Collaborate with firmware and hardware engineers to deploy models onto embedded devices.

Identify promising approaches from academic literature and create new techniques where necessary to achieve unique product goals.

Required Qualifications:
Education: A Bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science, computer vision, applied mathematics, machine learning, or a related field.

Experience: Proven experience in developing machine learning and computer vision models, with the ability to work with a high degree of autonomy in ambiguous environments.

Technical Skills:

Familiarity with the state-of-the-art in computer vision.

Strong proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or Jax.

Familiarity with handling large-scale datasets, including multi-camera datasets.

Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications:
A Master’s or Ph.D. is desired.

Experience deploying models into production environments.

Experience working in a startup environment.

Experience incorporating geometric, physical, or structural priors into data-driven models.

Benefits:
Sesame offers a comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees, including 401k matching, 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental benefits, unlimited PTO, and a flexible spending account (FSA).
