TL;DR · Senior Machine Learning R&D Engineer

Senior Machine Learning R&D Engineer – Matterport joins the research team to develop next-generation neural reconstruction and generative systems for 3D spatial data. This role focuses on building foundational models that can reconstruct, complete, and generate photorealistic 3D spaces from sparse or noisy captures. You will work at the intersection of neural rendering, novel view synthesis, and generative modeling to solve complex problems in reconstructing indoor and outdoor environments. Key responsibilities include training large-scale models using PyTorch and Python, developing diffusion models for scene completion, and optimizing pipelines for multi-view datasets including point clouds and meshes. The role requires expertise in Gaussian splatting, NeRFs, and 3D computer vision to improve digital twin fidelity. You will translate research prototypes into production systems while collaborating with engineers to advance the state of the art in 3D generative AI.

What you'll do

  • Research, design, and train large-scale foundational models for 3D reconstruction and generative scene completion.
  • Advance state-of-the-art neural rendering techniques such as Gaussian splatting and NeRFs for real-world spaces.
  • Develop generative models to fill occlusions, synthesize unobserved viewpoints, and enhance the realism of digital twins.
  • Design and optimize scalable training and inference pipelines for large 3D datasets including images, video, and point clouds.
  • Translate research prototypes into production-ready systems integrated into the core capture and reconstruction platform.
  • Establish rigorous evaluation methodologies and benchmarks to measure reconstruction quality and generative plausibility.
  • Contribute to the architectural design and strategic roadmap of the company's foundational reconstruction models.
  • Generate intellectual property through patents and publications while representing the company’s work to the research community.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited, not-for-profit, in-person university or college.
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Graphics, or a related quantitative field is preferred.
  • Proficiency in Python and the PyTorch framework.
  • Experience in machine learning R&D with a focus on computer vision, neural rendering, or generative modeling.
  • Expertise in large-scale model training infrastructure including distributed/multi-GPU training and data pipeline scaling.
  • 5+ years of industry experience in applied ML research and development is preferred.
  • Strong track record of publications at top-tier venues or significant open-source contributions.
  • Proficiency with data manipulation libraries such as NumPy and Pandas.
