The opportunity 

As a Director, Calibration Software within our Hardware Engineering group, you will be responsible for leading a team of 4-6 Software and Systems Engineers to deliver factory calibration algorithms and software from concept to production-ready code. Ideal candidate is a strong collaborator; able to reach across organizations to clarify expectations, achieve 'buy-in' where appropriate, and verify system performance through to the final customer. As an ideal candidate, you have a strong technical background and are excited to provide coaching on topics including geometric computer vision, nonlinear optimization, and software development best practices.

This is a hybrid position that will require close proximity to our headquarters in Plantation, FL or our Sunnyvale, CA office.

What you’ll do 

• Lead a team of software engineers with the ability to still be hands-on and versatile
• Drive implementation of calibration algorithms from concept phase to production-ready code
• Implement/enforce processes that ensure a high standard of quality for software development including code review, unit testing, and source control
• Implements/enforces processes to ensure algorithmic correctness and robustness
• Coach your team to deliver quality code supported by unit tests / integration tests as well as validation of performance with real world data
• Exhibit compassionate leadership, communicate clear performance expectations, and coach your team towards independence
• Understand when an off-the-shelf solution is appropriate and when creative, in-house designs are necessary
• Identify short and long-term solutions, confidently schedule work, and close issues in a timely manner
• Independently pursue new skills/knowledge as needed to complete projects
• Drive development in sync with high-level product goals (eg. build schedule, budget, cycle time, performance, etc.)
• Drive collaboration between organizations to bridge communication gaps, clarify internal/external customer requirements, identify risks, sync dependencies, and support transparent exchange of data

The experience you bring

• 12+ years of professional experience in software development with at least 3-5 years of experience related to computer vision or computational geometry
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering or similar discipline, or equivalent relevant experience in an applicable field.  We are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.
• Strong leadership skills with a demonstrated record of leading a team of engineers to success
• Working knowledge of statistics for hypothesis testing, process capability analysis, and process sensitivity metrics
• Exceptional presentation, organization, and logistical skills
• Experience with C++ and CMake. Experience creating and maintaining complex code bases
• Experience with signal processing and filtering
• Demonstrated knowledge of concepts in multi-view geometric computer vision
• Must be comfortable in a highly dynamic and creative environment bound by time constraints

It’s exciting if you also have

• Basic proficiency in Matlab and Python is a plus
• Experience with JIRA and driving teams with an agile mindset is a plus
• Experience in opto-mechanics, optics,
