3D Computer Vision Engineer
Overview
Toggle is a venture-backed robotics and software company building technology for the construction and fabrication industries, with a globally distributed team across the U.S. and Europe. We have deployed robotic systems in real-world rebar production and are now building a new category of industrial software: automated feature inspection and dimensional verification for high-mix fabrication. We’ve validated our sensing and verification stack in rebar and are expanding into broader fabrication environments (metal, glass, GFRC, wood), where quality control remains manual and inconsistent. We're looking for a 3D Computer Vision Engineer — on a contract basis — to help shape software that turns raw 3D scan data into reliable, production-grade measurements and pass/fail decisions in real-world environments. What you’ll do
- Develop pipelines for:
- Point cloud processing, filtering, and denoising
- Scan-to-CAD alignment (ICP + feature-based methods)
- Feature extraction and primitive fitting (planes, edges, holes, slots, chamfers, fillets)
- Dimensional measurement, tolerance evaluation, and per-point deviation field computation
- Translate raw geometry into clear inspection outputs (pass/fail, deviations, annotations)
- Generate per-point deviation heatmaps for visual review in the 3D viewer
- Handle calibration, drift, noise, and incomplete data
- Ensure robustness across materials, lighting, and shop-floor conditions
- Work directly with QC managers on the shop floor to validate and iterate
- Ship working software on a short feedback loop — prototype, test in the field, harden
- Support live customer deployments
- Help define how UI/UX is optimized for operators
- Contribute to end-to-end workflows, not just isolated algorithms
Who You Are You think in geometry, not just models, and care deeply about accuracy, robustness, and repeatability. You’re comfortable moving from research to production and don’t get stuck chasing perfect theory—you ship working systems, learn from real-world data, and iterate quickly. Required Skills & Experience
- Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
- Strong experience in 3D computer vision / geometry processing
- Proficiency in Python; C++ a strong plus
- Experience shipping production-quality computer vision or measurement pipelines (not just research code)
- Hands-on experience with:
- Real sensor data (not just simulated or academic datasets)
- Point cloud libraries (PCL, Open3D, or similar)
- Registration (ICP, feature-based alignment)
- Geometric primitive fitting (RANSAC, circle/cylinder/plane fitting)
- Sensor calibration and depth systems
Nice to have
- Inspection, metrology, or manufacturing systems experience
- Parsing CAD models (DXF, STEP) and aligning scan data to CAD geometry
- Deployment of systems into production environments
- Robotics or industrial automation background
Why Toggle
- Work on unsolved problems in the physical world and built environment
- Define and build new systems used directly in factory and construction pre-fab production
- Human centric with a priority on safety and usability
- High ownership and fast iteration
- Small, technical, global and collaborative team
