Senior Real-Time 3D Tracking Engineer (AR)

FabStation; Victoria; Hybrid; CAD 160,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

Eterio Realities Inc., the team behind Fabstation in Victoria, BC, seeks a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to own our real-time 3D object tracking from architecture to production. You will work on on-device tracking for CAD-driven guidance on steel assemblies used on North American shop floors.

Role focuses on real-time pose estimation, optimization for Apple silicon, and integration with Unity, with direct impact on fabrication workflows.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in computer vision or a closely related field, with a focus on real-time systems.
• Shipped at least one real-time computer vision feature on a mobile platform (iOS or Android).
• Strong modern C++; Python is an asset.
• Solid foundation in 3D geometry: camera models, calibration, projective geometry, and linear algebra.
• Working command of nonlinear least-squares optimization (Gauss–Newton / Levenberg–Marquardt) and pose parameterization on SE(3).
• Hands-on experience with pose estimation and object tracking algorithms.
• Experience integrating native C++ libraries with Unity, or equivalent native-mobile plugin experience; strong profiling and optimization skills on ARM.

Responsibilities

• Own the on-device object tracking core end-to-end, from architecture through production.
• Design and implement real-time, model-based 6DoF pose estimation and continuous tracking for textureless steel structures, using CAD models as the tracking reference.
• Fuse object tracking with platform world tracking (visual-inertial odometry), depth, and IMU data; own tracking-loss detection, drift management, and recovery.
• Optimize native C++ vision pipelines for iOS and Apple silicon: rendering, CPU/GPU budgets, and sustained frame rates on iPad or headset hardware.
• Extend tracking to large structures: partial visibility, multi-region strategies, and CAD mesh preprocessing from IFC/STEP - type exports.
• Integrate native modules with Unity via a plugin bridge, and work with our Unity team from prototype through release.
• Define tracking quality metrics and benchmark against real shop-floor conditions: occlusion, mixed lighting, and cluttered scenes of visually similar material.
