Responsibilities
- Lead the architecture, assessment, and implementation of the production photogrammetry system, including feature extraction, 3D reconstruction techniques, and scalable infrastructure.
- Evaluate and integrate emerging 3D reconstruction technologies such as gaussian splatting and foundational 3D models, incorporating them into the pipeline when justified.
- Enhance 3D reconstruction systems for performance, precision, and reliability under real-world operating conditions.
- Select appropriate methodologies based on problem requirements, favoring classical computer vision or learned models as appropriate.
- Take full ownership of complex technical challenges from initial analysis through deployment and long-term maintenance.
- Establish and maintain high technical standards for photogrammetry by guiding design reviews and improving experimental rigor.
- Define and manage observability practices for 3D pipelines, including KPIs, monitoring tools, and early detection of data quality issues.
- Provide technical mentorship and gradually assume direct management responsibilities as the team grows.
- Collaborate closely with computer vision leadership to execute the core photogrammetry roadmap and ensure timely delivery.
- Develop standardized debugging procedures and investigation frameworks to reduce dependency on escalations.
- Transform AI usage across the software development lifecycle by promoting AI-driven and rapid prototyping practices.
- Build reusable tools and systems—such as agent capabilities, prompts, and diagnostics—that amplify team productivity.
- Conduct thorough evaluations of AI development tools to understand their impact and guide informed adoption.
- Champion the use of iterative prototyping and AI-first development strategies within engineering workflows.
- Apply rigorous code review standards to AI-generated outputs and define benchmarks for trustworthiness and correctness.
- Continuously monitor advancements in AI tooling, test new solutions against active problems, and advocate for effective adoption.
