Vision Software Developer II - Applications, Algorithms AND 3D (C++)

Burnaby, BC, Canada

Full Time

Apps/Tech

Mid Level

We are seeking a Vision Software Developer II to join our dynamic Applications and Technology team. In this role, you will report directly to the Director of Application Software and Vision Engineering, acting as a key technical contributor in a team of high-performing peers.

You will sit at the intersection of R&D and real-world application, taking the "unsolvable" problems our customers face and turning them into deployed, high-performance 3D measurement solutions. You will elevate the team's capabilities by designing robust algorithms and proof-of-concept tools that demonstrate exactly what our technology can do. If you are a developer who loves math, physics, and seeing your code interact with the physical world, this is your home.

Innovate & Solve: Translate complex customer requirements into sophisticated C++ algorithms for pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, and 3D measurement. You turn abstract geometry problems into working code.
Elevate the Tech Stack: Collaborate with the team to help standardize best practices, ensuring our application code is functional, scalable, maintainable, and "best in class".
Bridge the Gap: Act as a technical liaison, occasionally traveling to customer sites to deploy prototypes and gather insights that influence future product roadmaps for the VP of Technology’s group.
End-to-End Ownership: Own your projects from initial algorithm design to HMI interface development, ensuring tight delivery timelines are met without compromising quality.
Algorithm Design: Develop and optimize real-time 2D and 3D vision algorithms (filtering, point cloud processing, metrology) to solve specific inspection challenges.
Prototyping: Rapidly build proof-of-concept applications using LMI’s 3D smart sensors to demonstrate feasibility to major OEMs and System Integrators.
Collaboration: Participate in design reviews with your peer group, offering and receiving technical feedback to mitigate risks and improve code quality.
Documentation & Reporting: Produce clear, analytical technical reports and documentation that summarize results and propose concrete solutions to stakeholders.
Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify areas to improve our internal tools and processes, supporting the Senior Manager in driving operational excellence.

Education and Qualifications

3+ years of professional experience in software design, specifically within Machine Vision, Image Processing, or 3D Metrology.
Technical Stack: Strong C/C++ programming skills are a must.
Math Foundation: Solid mathematical foundation in Linear Algebra, 3D Geometry, and Statistics.
Industry Tools: Familiarity with vision libraries is highly valued (e.g., OpenCV, PCL, Halcon, Cognex VisionPro).
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering (A Master’s degree is a strong plus).
Problem Solving: A proven track record of breaking down vague requirements into technical specifications and delivering working solutions.
Communication: The ability to explain complex algorithmic concepts to both technical peers and non-technical customers.
Agility: Comfort working in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple project milestones, and traveling occasionally (domestically and internationally).

Salary Range

CAD $88,000 - CAD $130,000 + Eligibility for Profit Sharing Program Participation (pending successful completion of probationary period and based on business performance)

Perks and Benefits

Health Benefits: Full health care coverage (with 100% paid premiums) including dental, vision, and drugs for you and your family.
Work-Life Balance: Support for a healthy balance with hybrid work arrangements, flextime, and competitive paid time off.
Growth & Development: Annual Education Support Program for training and professional growth, plus annual performance reviews.
Culture: Enjoy free snacks and drinks, team-building events, tenure awards, and our official "May the 4th" (Star Wars Day) company holiday!
Wellness: Access to an on-site fitness facility, tennis/basketball court, and company-wide wellness initiatives.

This is a hybrid position based out of our Burnaby, BC headquarters. Preference will be given to local candidates able to work in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Financial relocation as

Recruitment Process

We believe in a transparent and collaborative hiring journey. Below is the typical path:

Talent Discovery (Human Resources): An initial screening call focused on your background, communication proficiency, and cultural alignment.
Collaborative Technical Assessment: A hands-on session with our engineering team to explore your problem-solving approach in C++ and applied mathematics. We focus on your ability to apply core principles—such as memory management and geometric logic—to real-world sensor challenges, valuing your overall engineering logic as much as the final solution.
Role Fit (Hiring Manager): A deep dive into your experience and skills, as well as role expectations and team initiatives.
Team Fit (Peers and Colleagues): An opportunity to meet with potential team members and cross-functional peers.
