Job summary

Schemata is building spatial intelligence platforms that turn complex 3D data into actionable world models for advanced simulation and training. We seek a Spatial Computing Engineer to own end-to-end development from research prototypes to production inference, ensuring real-time understanding of diverse environments.

You will work across cross‑functional teams, shaping 3D scene understanding with cutting‑edge AI, while profiling performance and scaling across GPUs and cloud/edge targets.

Qualifications

• PhD or 4+ years depth in 3D computer vision, robotics perception, graphics-ML or related field.
• Strong Python with deep-learning frameworks (PyTorch); confident in CUDA or compute-shader programming.
• Hands-on with 3D data types: point clouds, meshes, NeRF/LERF representations, SLAM or occupancy networks.
• Solid grounding in linear algebra, geometry and numerical optimization.
• Demonstrated ability to convert research into reliable, maintainable production code and services.

Responsibilities

• Design data pipelines that convert heterogeneous 3D assets into unified scene-graphs and knowledge graphs.
• Integrate multimodal foundation models with spatial data for diagnostics and autonomous evaluation.
• Implement GPU-accelerated training/inference and synthetic-data generation in cloud and edge environments.
• Collaborate with graphics and product engineers to ship mission-critical features blending neural perception with real-time rendering.
• Profile and optimize performance across varied hardware configurations for fidelity, latency and memory.
• Publish internally, attend CVPR/NeurIPS/SIGGRAPH and translate research into production capabilities.
