Role Summary
As part of our continued investment in augmented reality (AR) technologies, we are expanding our Computer Vision capabilities with an Augmented Reality Software Engineer to develop nextgeneration AR capabilities on embedded application processors integrated into our electrooptical products.
The successful candidate will design and implement computer vision and realtime AR applications running on embedded Linux and Android–based application processors, tightly integrated with sensors such as night vision cameras, thermal imagers, IMUs, and external data sources.
You will work in a multidisciplinary R&D environment, collaborating closely with hardware, FPGA, optics, computer vision, and system engineers to deliver robust, lowlatency AR solutions for operational use.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain augmented reality applications for embedded platforms used in defense electrooptical systems
- Implement realtime AR overlays (symbology, navigation cues, object annotations, sensor fusion outputs) on live video streams
- Optimize graphics rendering and application performance for resourceconstrained embedded SoCs
- Interface with camera pipelines, IMUs, GPS, and other sensors to support accurate registration and alignment
- Implement computer vision algorithms for perception and tracking algorithms into AR pipelines
- Support system integration, testing, debugging, and performance tuning on target hardware
- Contribute to technical documentation, software architecture, and coding standards
Qualifications
- University degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
- Strong experience in C++ and/or modern C for embedded or performancecritical applications
- Handson experience developing realtime graphics or AR/VR applications
- Experience with Embedded Linux application development
- Experience with computer vision frameworks (e.g. OpenCV)
- Solid understanding of 3D math, coordinate systems, transformations, and sensor fusion concepts
- Experience with GPUaccelerated rendering (e.g. OpenGL ES, Vulkan, or similar)
- Familiarity with version control systems (e.g. Git) and collaborative software development
- Experience with AR frameworks or engines (e.g. Unity, Unreal, custom engines) adapted for embedded targets
- Background in computer vision, image processing, or realtime video pipelines
- Experience interfacing with IMUs, cameras, GPS, or similar sensors
