About The Position

Navigate is building frontier AI technology for the field workforce—starting with construction. We've partnered with some of the biggest infrastructure companies in the U.S. and have early traction combining AI, spatial computing, and video intelligence. We've just scratched the surface of what’s possible with spatial video, LIDAR, and computer vision. Now we're looking for a founding computer vision engineer to push this to the next level.

Requirements

• 2–6+ years of experience in computer vision, CVML, or related applied AI fields
• Fluent in tools like OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or MediaPipe
• Experience working with video data, multi-view camera inputs, or 3D point clouds
• Built and deployed CV models in real-world environments (even messy, imperfect ones)
• Excited about the intersection of AI + physical world —not just screen-based products

Nice To Haves

• Experience with spatial computing, AR, or platforms like Meta Quest, Unity, or Unreal
• Experience working at companies like Waymo, Cruise, Tesla, Meta, or in research-driven CV roles

Responsibilities

• Design and develop real-time video analysis pipelines, including object detection, tracking, pose estimation, or 3D reconstruction
• Explore LIDAR, depth data, or SLAM to improve spatial awareness in vision models
• Fine-tune models using real-world, domain-specific data from the field
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering to ship features that blend AI, video, and intuitive UX
• Experiment with AI prompting or LLM tools to layer intelligence over video data
• Help shape the long-term CV strategy and technical architecture

Benefits

• Massive ownership and impact as an early team member
• Work with high-agency founders and real customers
• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
