Description: Urban Robotics, Inc, is an established small company looking to expand its HPC/mapping/image processing department. Located in the Old Town neighborhood of Portland, OR, this strong defense firm has made a name for itself in heavy-duty airborne image acquisition and processing.This is where you come in. We possess some highly functional, potent IP for large scale cartography, and are in need of talented engineers to help us productize an enterprise scale processing platform to shake up the stuck-in-the-past world of commercial mapmaking.The ideal candidate for this position will find him/herself managing and leading a small team to develop a product-ready, enterprise scale platform for creating 3D models from tremendous volumes of aerial images. Our TerraFlash software takes as input a set of images (Satellite, Airborne, UAV, terrestrial, etc.), deduces camera positions/orientations, reconstructs dense 3D of the scene, and uses all that info to build an orthorectified, color corrected, geographically correct model of the world.The candidate chosen for this position will be directly responsible for managing the full product development life cycle as well as project coordination, implementation planning, and testing/validation for a new product line. At the same time, this will be a very hands on position so candidates should expect to be getting their hand dirty while spending a significant amount of their time developing and contributing to the team.
