BOULDER, CO

Program Manager - Digital Photogrammetry Workflow
The Virtual Earth 3D imaging group is creating the 3D visuals for Virtual Earth 3D. The photogrammetry Microsoft is looking for a program manager for tools used to create the 2D and 3D content for VE. This PM will be responsible for the entire live cycle of one or more of these tools. This requires leading an international group of researchers, developers and testers in ways that continuously improve the creativity and efficiency of the team. Coordination and communication with other product groups inside and outside the Virtual Earth business unit is also required. Specific tasks include includes product specifications, resource planning, budgeting, scheduling, and project management. Some travel is to be expected.

The successful candidate has a graduate degree, preferable a PhD in a field closely related to the subject like, computer vision, photogrammetry, or computer science combined with 10+ years of relevant industry experience. Expected are in-depth knowledge of digital image processing, digital photogrammetry, 2D and 3D geometry, multiple view geometry and a proven track record in managing software development. Experience with true ortho imagery, close range photogrammetry and oblique aerial imagery are especially relevant for this position.

Software Development Engineer
Are you interesting in doing image processing, using photogrammetry and new research techniques to help build high-quality models of the world? In the Virtual Earth team you can do exactly that – we are currently working on creating detailed street-level photo-textures for the building models in Virtual Earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Earth) and are building more realistic and detailed 3D building models based on this imagery. The larger team is also responsible for aerial mapping, automating building creation from aerial imagery and managing the global DEM. Our site owns the algorithms and data used to build the 3D Virtual Earth models.

We are located in the Boulder, CO office which has about 120 people right under the flatirons of the Rocky Mountains. We are only a mile from the University of Colorado (http://www.colorado.edu/) and their home page will give you an idea of the phenomenal environment around the office. The area is a great place to explore, a great place to raise a family and we offer the ability to work with challenging, interesting and fun problems.

We are working with data collected by Facet Technology (http://www.facet-tech.com/transportation/transportation.htm) and are driving the technical specifications for their collection systems. Here is a sample of some of the data we have available with a simple (but really old) interface for viewing it (http://preview.local.live.com/). We also partner with Microsoft Research and our research team in Graz, Austria in order to develop on their results and explore future problem domains.

We are looking for self-driven developers or research developers who are interested in exploring new spaces, but still want to be able to provide results that the world can see on a semi-yearly basis. We are looking for solid design and programming skills in C/C++ or C#. An MA/MS or PhD in CS or math with a focus on machine vision, image processing or photogrammetry is desired. Relevant work or project experience in this space is ideal, but a history of solid results in other work areas would be considered as well.
