Senior Research Engineer - Applied Algorithms & 3D Vision

Odmeňovanie

From 3 000 EUR/month

About this position

We are seeking a highly creative Senior Research Engineer who operates at the intersection of complex mathematics, 3D computer vision, and hands-on physical prototyping. This role represents the ultimate “Maker” position for advanced optical systems. The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in advanced algorithms, computational geometry, or image processing, combined with a strong passion for bridging digital concepts with the physical world of lenses, lasers, and sensors.

€3000-3500/month and up (based on work experience and overall qualifications)

O pozícii

This individual does not simply develop 3D reconstruction algorithms, but also understands the physical realities of the hardware capturing the data. Whether improving the accuracy of a 3D scanner or conceptualizing a complex robotic calibration station from the ground up, the candidate is expected to understand how software translates into real-world perception.

R&D Manager

Key Responsibilities

• Applied 3D Algorithmic Development: Design and implement algorithms for 3D machine vision, structured light, point cloud processing, and camera calibration.
• Calibration & Test Rig Prototyping: Get hands-on in the lab. Conceptualize, build, or guide the creation of custom mechatronic calibration stations and testing rigs to validate your optical models.
• Hardware/Software Integration: Work hand-in-hand with the hardware team to review optics, sensor placements, and lighting to ensure they perfectly complement your software architecture.
• Creative Problem Solving: Bridge the gap between math and physics. When a 3D scan is noisy, you quickly figure out if it’s best solved by writing a smarter software filter, changing a lens, or tweaking the physical projection system.

Requirements

• Education: Degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computer Vision, Mechatronics, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience: Strong background in software/algorithm development, specifically applied to machine vision, 3D scanning, computational photography, or automated calibration systems.
• Algorithm/Software Expertise: Great grasp of 3D mathematics, projective geometry, computer vision (C++, Python, OpenCV, PCL, etc.).
• Maker’s Hardware Intuition: A solid, practical understanding of how vision hardware works. You know your way around cameras, optics, basic automation/kinematics for test rigs, and you aren't afraid to pick up a tool or tinker with a prototype.
