Immersive Engineer

Company Overview:

ThreeV.ai is a growing cutting-edge B2B SaaS platform startup specializing in Synthetic Data generation and Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) for inspections. Our mission is to revolutionize the development of mission-critical Computer Vision models, enabling machines and drones to see and understand their surroundings. We are initially focused on serving asset-intensive industries such as Power Utilities & Renewables (PU&R), Oil & Gas (O&G), Mining, Telecommunications (Telco), and Public Infrastructure (PI).

These industries heavily rely on Computer Vision to enhance the efficiency of asset inspections, automate processes, and prevent catastrophic incidents. Currently, Data Scientists spend an extensive amount of time gathering and labeling training data, which is both time-consuming and fragmented. Additionally, they struggle to obtain critical failure state images (edge cases) essential for defect detection when inspecting assets.

ThreeV.ai provides the solution by leveraging Synthetic Data—data generated through 3D environments and Generative AI that closely mimics real-world data. Our platform enables customers to create Synthetic Data, combine it with real-world data, and efficiently develop their Computer Vision models. This results in improved computer vision model performance, faster and more effective inspections, and as a result enhanced safety.
