Company

hirify.global develops risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems for robots operating in complex, unstructured environments.

What you will do

• Develop and optimize point cloud processing pipelines for registration, denoising, normal estimation, segmentation, and primitive extraction.
• Design efficient algorithms for large-scale, unstructured 3D datasets with strong memory and runtime performance.
• Implement production-grade computational geometry and linear algebra in C++ and Python.
• Solve reconstruction problems including loop closure, global consistency, and multi-view fusion.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging 3D vision methods, including neural implicit representations and advanced meshing techniques.
• Partner with platform teams to support scalable and efficient algorithm deployment.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in computer vision, computational geometry, or 3D-focused software engineering.
• Master’s or Ph.D. in computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field specializing in 3D vision or geometric processing.
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ and Python.
• Strong foundation in 3D geometry, linear algebra, rigid body transformations, quaternions, and projective geometry.
• Deep experience with point cloud algorithms such as ICP, GICP, RANSAC, NDT, and region growing, plus spatial data structures including k-d trees, octrees, and voxel grids.
• Hands-on experience with PCL, Open3D, Eigen, or Ceres, and familiarity with PCD, PLY, E57, or LAS data formats.

Nice to have

• Experience with Ceres, GTSAM, or g2o for bundle adjustment or pose graph optimization.
• Background in SLAM or Structure from Motion pipelines.
• Experience processing LiDAR, RGB-D, or photogrammetry datasets.
• Familiarity with Linux and Docker.
• Exposure to ROS and knowledge of survey-grade accuracy or georeferencing algorithms.

Culture & Benefits

• Work on robotics systems deployed in real-world field environments.
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team focused on perception, planning, localization, and manipulation.
• Join a close-knit engineering organization that values creativity, resilience, and bold technical thinking.
• Full-time employment at an on-site Southern California location.
