Employee count: 11-50

United States only

Compound Eye enables machines to understand their surroundings in 3D and in real time using only passive sensors like cameras and IMUs. Our VIDAS™ technology takes video from automotive-grade cameras and outputs a dense, semantic 3D representation of the world that vehicles and robots can use to navigate their environment. VIDAS is a fully redundant alternative to LiDAR and radar. Compound Eye has customers in automotive, agriculture, healthcare, and defense and is backed by Khosla Ventures and other leading investors.

As a computer vision engineer at Compound Eye you'll contribute to design and development of various core technologies and products, such as real-time perception, 3D reconstruction, visual-inertial odometry, and more. You will:

  • Contribute to the development of state-of-the-art techniques and algorithms for robotic perception
  • Write production code in C++ for a variety of platforms, including GPUs
  • Analyze performance and failure modes of computer vision algorithms
  • Help to recruit and potentially lead a team of similarly-qualified engineers

To thrive in this role you have:

  • An understanding of basics of linear algebra and probability
  • Experience writing production quality code in C++
  • Experience with visualizing and analyzing numerical data, for example using Jupyter / Python, Matlab or similar tools

We're looking for a great engineer to join our US team of fourteen. Our mission is to teach machines to see. Our culture is based on transparency, mutual respect, mutual accountability, and valuing great ideas no matter where they come from. We already have revenue and our Series A round was led by a tier one VC. We are a remote-first company with employees across the United States. We had remote employees long before the pandemic and our team is now distributed across three states. We will ensure you have everything you need to work from home and the option to work from an office when it is safe to do so. We also offer competitive benefits including comprehensive health care plans, 401k with matching, flexible schedules, and discretionary PTO.

Compound Eye is committed to building a diverse and inclusive work environment. We understand that no candidate is perfectly qualified for any job and experience comes in different forms. We encourage you to apply if you see yourself being successful in this position.

View company profile

Compound Eye, Inc. is a technology company at the forefront of developing advanced sensing and perception solutions for autonomous machines. Founded in 2015 by Jason Devitt and Haoyang Wang, the company is on a mission to enable machines to perceive and understand their environment in three dimensions with the same level of intuition as humans. This is achieved through their proprietary VIDAS™ (Visual Inertial Distributed Aperture System) technology, which leverages artificial intelligence and classical computer vision. VIDAS processes video from automotive-grade cameras in real-time to generate a dense, semantic 3D representation of the world. This allows vehicles and robots to navigate their surroundings with a high degree of accuracy and safety, offering a fully redundant alternative to traditional sensors like LiDAR and radar but at a fraction of the cost and complexity.

The company's innovative approach combines geometric cues from motion parallax with semantic understanding derived from AI. This dual methodology allows their systems to deliver precise depth measurements, per-pixel classification, and six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DoF) odometry. Compound Eye's solutions are designed to be deployed on any vehicle platform, making advanced perception capabilities accessible for a wide range of applications. The technology caters to several key industries, including defense, heavy equipment, and automotive. The company has secured multiple contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense to adapt its VIDAS technology for military use. In the commercial sector, Compound Eye is working with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to integrate its perception platform into everything from construction and mining vehicles to passenger cars, aiming to make autonomous operation safer, more reliable, and economically viable.
