Jobs

Optica Industries is building American metal factories and sensors. Fast paced, forward deployed environment. We are friends with our customers, and work with family-owned companies. First deal was signed over a BBQ dinner, our next one, over 8 drinks, and our last one, at a Luau in Oregon. We recently raised $8.3M from Lightspeed and Neo.

We have a diverse technical team full of mechanical engineers from AMP, electrical engineers from Broadcom, laser professors at UT Austin, and CV + Astrophysics researchers. We are now preparing for multiple demos with public and private metal recycling companies with our sensor tools, and we are in a big push to make them perfect for our customers.

We are looking for a founding CV/ML engineer who can learn quickly, tackle hands-on, applied CV challenges, and work with 2D cameras and LiDAR. The engineer will work with our engineers and CTO in helping increase the accuracy and performance of our object detection and classification models, as well as our volume estimation and segmentation algorithm. The role will involve large volumes of labeled data (photo and video), and the candidate should be comfortable and experienced in ML and data processing/storage. First principle thinker with a strong ML/CV background is preferred.

Come join us at Optica and forge a legacy that endures. Westward
