Artificial Intelligence • Defense • Automotive

Compound Eye is a machine-vision company that combines artificial intelligence with classical computer vision to give machines human-like perception with greater precision. Their VIDAS platform delivers tens of millions of depth measurements per second without LiDAR or radar, provides per-pixel scene understanding (object labels and free space), and supports position tracking when GPS is unreliable. Compound Eye targets applications across defense (including multiple Direct to Phase 2 SBIR awards), heavy equipment teleoperation and autonomy, and automotive programs that need LiDAR-like range and accuracy at lower cost and complexity.

📋 Description

• Plan, design, and run experiments to evaluate and refine deep learning architectures and training methodologies. • Research, implement, and adapt new algorithms and model architectures from recent ML papers, particularly those relevant to perception, localization, and scene understanding. • Collaborate closely with talented engineers to translate research insights into robust, deployable models. • Build on our unpublished research and state of the art approaches for geometric computer vision. • Stay current with the latest research in machine learning, deep learning, and AI, ensuring new developments are thoughtfully incorporated into our technology roadmap. • Conduct exploratory experiments on novel approaches; document and share findings that inform future production work. • Participate in project planning, reviews, and retrospectives, contributing technical expertise and mentorship where appropriate. • Publish original research.
