Job description
We are regularly looking for passionate R&D Engineers (flexible working time and partial remote work possible) and created for this purpose this generic position to collect your spontaneous application. The positions can be based in one of our development offices: Lausanne (CH), Berlin (DE), Madrid (SP), or Bucharest (RO). If a position that matches your profile and expertise becomes available, we will contact you!
From designing and implementing computer vision algorithms to processing of 3D point clouds and meshes, to implementing Machine Learning algorithms, you will work on a variety of highly technical subjects, bridging the gap between academic research and thousands of daily users.
