Senior Computer Vision Engineer, Real-Time 3D Tracking

FABSTATION is a company focused on AR work instructions for structural steel fabrication. They are seeking a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to lead the development of their real-time 3D object tracking capabilities, ensuring accurate tracking of CAD models in physical environments.

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
