About the Position

Do you want avatars not only to speak, but also to look like real people? At go AVA, you develop the computer vision algorithms that reconstruct photorealistic faces from 2D images and bring them to life in real time. If 3D reconstruction and facial modelling genuinely appeal to you, this is your place.

Responsibilities

Development of algorithms for precise facial recognition and analysis
Creation of 3D models from 2D images and videos
Optimisation of face-tracking algorithms for real-time applications
Integration of machine learning models into our CV pipeline

Requirements

Master's degree or PhD in Computer Vision
Deep expertise in OpenCV and related libraries
Strong C++ and Python skills
Experience with 3D modelling and reconstruction; familiarity with modern methods (NeRF, 3D Gaussian Splatting, parametric facial models such as FLAME/3DMM) is an advantage
Publications in the field of Computer Vision are a plus
Fluent German skills

We Offer

Work on one of the most technically demanding problems in the avatar space: photorealistic 3D reconstruction in real time instead of pure ivory-tower research
Direct impact on a visible product – your algorithms determine how convincing our avatars really are
Close collaboration with our entire ML and engineering team instead of isolated research work
Freedom to put modern CV methods (NeRF, 3D Gaussian Splatting, FLAME/3DMM) to productive use rather than merely evaluating them
Freedom to choose between remote work and our office in Essen
A short, straightforward application process: initial call, video interview, team meeting
Annual salary €50,000–70,000, depending on experience
