Bell Labs - Researcher in Spatial Computing

We are looking to develop intuitive and efficient environmental and contextually aware interactions in the metaverse/omniverse with what is perceivable and what is not easily perceivable (e.g. physical phenomena, state of digital systems, planned robot paths/missions, etc.) to allow more optimal performance in the physical world including navigation, human and human/robotic interaction, & efficient operation specifically in industrial/medical environments.

Creation and real time dynamic digital representation of physical spaces and objects, AI/ML modelling, IoT sensors, data fusion, and the efficient data exchange between the physical and digital are some of the related areas of research. We anticipate that this position could encompass aspects of computer vision, front end data display and user data comprehension/ingestion, and spatial computing,

Our collaborative work process combines research, algorithm development, system-level design, and hands-on experimentation to develop end-to-end prototypes that operate robustly in the real world.

Sustained measurable business and/or scientific impact. Technical lead of research teams on a regular basis. Internally and externally recognized for contributions.

As part of our team, you will:

• Perform research and design algorithms and processes
• Create Intellectual Property
• Implement and optimize algorithms and processes
• Perform tests and characterize performance in real-world industrial environments.
• Collaborate with a wider team of hardware and software engineers
• Publish results in conferences and journals and create patents

Personal traits:

• Critical thinker
• Adaptable
• Ethical conduct
• Out of the box thinking
• Persistent
• Good command of English

Your skills and experience:

• PhD degree in computer science or engineering
• Practical experience programming in digital twin research and solution platforms (e.g. Omniverse, Unreal, Unity)
• Strong mathematical background with ability to learn and apply new technical concepts.
• Desire to collaborate with a globally disperse team and possessing excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to drive, influence, and implement new ideas
• The following subject specific requirements:

For computer vision:

• Computer vision: object recognition, semantic segmentation
• video stream processing with AI
• 3D space recognition using video feed

For front end:

• Svelte
• Implementing UI designs

For Spatial computing:

• Technologies for capturing indoor spaces
• Keeping point clouds up to date in a dynamically changing environment.

It would be nice if you also had:

• Familiarity with adjacent technologies such as 3D gaming engines, and user interface design
• Expertise in 3D modelling and Web Augmented Reality Experiences
• Experience with Industrial IoT paradigm

Applications files must contain:

• Detailed CV
• Motivation letter
• Academic transcripts for your bachelor's and master's degrees, and/or engineering degree
• Recommendation letters
