Array Labs

Array Labs

Palo Alto, CA, USA
Posted on Sep 27, 2023
Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D model of the world.
As a 3D Reconstruction Scientist in the Image Formation team at Array Labs, you will play a crucial role in designing and implementing state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques for reconstructing 3D images from distributed sensors. You’ll work closely with our radar, communications, and spacecraft teams to build cutting-edge radar hardware, rapidly moving all the way from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.

Responsibilities:

  • Research, design, and implement tomographic algorithms for 3D image reconstruction utilizing complex phase-history data from radar sensors
  • Develop autofocus techniques to sharpen images affected by inaccurate position knowledge of the sensor platform, and/or phase inaccuracies caused by various hardware imperfections in our distributed sensor system
  • Develop efficient data preprocessing and calibration techniques to enhance the quality and accuracy of 3D reconstructions
  • Optimize algorithms for near real-time production of 3D imagery in our cloud-based production pipeline
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate 3D image reconstruction solutions into our products and services
  • Conduct thorough testing, validation, and performance evaluation of 3D image reconstruction algorithms to ensure they meet end-user expectations

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 11+ years of experience in 3D image reconstruction, 3D computer vision, multi-view geometry or a related field.
  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills
  • Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
  • High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
  • Proficient in MATLAB, C/C++, and/or Python

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6+ years of experience deploying 3D image processing/generation algorithms into production pipelines
  • 6+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • - signal processing for tomographic SAR and/or interferometric SAR
    - Depth estimation using stereo images, multi-view geometry, or optical flow
    - Generating 3D images from 2D sensors.
    - Estimation theoretic approaches to 3D localization
    - Ambiguity resolution for 3D localization
  • Experience adapting image processing algorithms for GPU clusters
  • Experience with stochastic and adaptive signal processing techniques
  • Experience extracting insights from 3D data products via AI/ML techniques
  • Experience creating 3D data products from geospatial data sets is a plus

ITAR Requirements:

  • To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
