Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSenior Staff Research Engineer, 3D Gaussian Splatting
About Ofinno:
Ofinno is a leading research and development lab headquartered in Reston, Virginia, specializing in advancing communication and media standards. Our team’s innovative work has led to significant contributions to technologies such as 5G cellular, Wi-Fi, and media compression. Ofinno holds strategic partnerships and licensing agreements with several of the world’s leading technology companies that use such technologies.
At Ofinno, we foster an environment of collaboration and excellence, where researchers can focus on delivering breakthroughs that shape the future of technology.
Position Overview:
As a Senior Staff Research Engineer in the Advanced Media Lab, you will serve as the technical owner for our 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) coding direction. You will set research direction with cross-team impact, turning 3DGS coding ideas into reproducible evidence, standards-ready proposals (as applicable), and patentable inventions. This role is hands-on and execution-driven, bridging research and implementation to deliver measurable gains in compression efficiency, quality, and runtime complexity.
Key Responsibilities:
As a Senior Staff Research Engineer in 3D Gaussian Splatting, you will:
Own 3DGS coding technical direction end-to-end, from research framing to reproducible prototypes and proposal-ready evidence.
Design and evaluate novel coding tools for 3DGS representations (e.g., geometry/attribute representation, parameter quantization, entropy modeling, structure/cluster coding, streaming and progressive refinement).
Establish rigorous experimental methodology and benchmarking (rate-distortion, quality metrics, complexity/latency/memory), including ablations and reproducibility practices.
Collaborate cross-team to remove blockers, integrate tool interactions
