Senior Vision Software Developer - 3D Metrology and Algorithms
Burnaby, BC, Canada
Full Time
Technology
Experienced
As a Senior Vision Software Developer, you will be a technical leader within our R&D team, reporting to the Software Development Manager. You will be the driving force behind the core algorithms that allow our sensors to perceive and reconstruct the 3D world with sub-pixel precision.
We are seeking a hands-on expert in classical computer vision, 3D metrology, and physics-based signal processing to design, develop, and perfect the high-performance 3D acquisition and calibration algorithms at the heart of our next-generation sensor products. This role focuses primarily on classical computer vision, and a machine learning background is highly welcome as an additional skill that will be extremely valuable for our future roadmaps.
You will join a close-knit, multi-disciplinary team of 14 developers. You will have the opportunity to mentor junior members and lead complex technical projects from concept to completion. The ideal candidate thrives on solving difficult, hardware-adjacent algorithmic problems and developing production-ready, highly optimized C/C++ code.
