Reshaping Imaging Through Defocus Engineering

At BlurLens, we're pioneering a new imaging paradigm where controlled defocus becomes a superpower. Join optics specialists and AI researchers who see blur not as noise, but as structured light field data waiting to be decoded.

Current Openings

  • Sensor Array Architect (Hardware Engineering)

    Design high-density PCB stacks for our conical multi-sensor system. You'll tackle signal integrity challenges in tightly-packed sensor arrays, develop calibration rigs using laser interferometry, and prototype solutions that bridge optical theory with manufacturable hardware. Requires 5+ years with high-speed mixed-signal design and a love for bringing radical concepts to reality.

  • Photon Simulation Engineer (pbrt Specialist)

    Extend our custom pbrt-based renderer to simulate multi-sensor light transport at scale. You'll generate synthetic datasets with ground-truth depth/polarization maps, model adversarial blur scenarios, and help build our tera-sample training corpus. Expertise in polarized light transport and GPU-accelerated rendering required.

  • Computational Imaging Engineer (ML/Optics)

    Develop hybrid physics-AI models that fuse data from 7+ blurred perspectives. Using PyTorch and CUDA, you'll create networks that treat defocus dispersion as differentiable depth cues while maintaining fidelity to wave optics principles. Requires experience with physics-informed ML and inverse problems in imaging.
