Senior Computer Vision / ML Engineer

Glass Imaging is looking for a Senior Deep Learning / Computer Vision Algorithms Engineer, to work on advanced problems in computational photography.

You would be responsible for bringing the latest cutting edge ML powered Computational Imaging models into production on embedded devices and smartphones, from investigating, developing and training Deep Learning models and algorithms, to optimizing them for high throughput real time imaging applications. A strong background in signal + image processing; experience with generative image models, image restoration, or ML model compression is desired. You should be familiar with cloud-based training of deep learning models, be proficient with tuning models and evaluating image quality with a photographic eye for detail.

Founded by former Apple Engineers who brought you Portrait Mode and other iPhone camera features, Glass is building the future of smartphone photography that delivers astonishing image quality. You’d be joining a unique team of creative and enthusiastic engineers with a passion and track record for revolutionizing the world of photography - and the future of camera technology in general.
