Senior Computer Vision Engineer, Face Tracking

We are looking for a Senior Computer Vision Engineer, Face Tracking to join our Perception team in Helsinki. Our display draws a 3D image onto a transparent surface, exactly where your eyes are and where they are about to be, hundreds of times a second. The face tracker is what makes that possible, and there is no physical mirror to fall back on: the software has to get it right, per pixel, in real time. It is one of the problems that decides whether the whole product works.

WHY DISTANCE?

At Distance Technologies, the problem we're solving is simple to state and hard to solve: the amount of data in the world is endless, but human capacity is not. We are building a fundamentally new perception layer between humans and machines, transforming transparent surfaces into interfaces unlike the world has ever seen. Think of the windscreen of a car, the visor of a helmet, or a sight device, each becoming a new front-end for AI. The way we turn bits and atoms into expanded human perception is protected by over 50 granted international patent families. We build it for two demanding worlds: defense and automotive. And we build it from a single foundation fusing software, hardware and computational optics.

There are over 50 of us today, with decade-long experience building world's best products, optics, and open-source operating systems. We partner and build with globally leading companies like KIA, FORVIA HELLA, Supacat, and Galvion, and we were Google Ventures' first investment in Finland. What we're building is hard, and will fundamentally change how we operate and see the world, and that's exactly why we seek exceptional people who enjoy building things never seen before.
