Senior Software Engineer (Sensor Prototyping - EagleEye)

We are seeking an innovative and versatile Software Engineer to join our technology R&D team. In this role, you will focus on rapidly prototyping new products, components, and systems to create compelling technology demonstrations and validations. You’ll work closely with product managers, architects, and fellow engineers to quickly bring groundbreaking ideas to life, explore emerging technologies, and showcase the future of our products to internal and external stakeholders. This isn’t about building production-ready code from day one; it’s about speed, iteration, and demonstrating potential. We’re looking for a polyglot who is comfortable across various tech stacks, eager to experiment with new tools and frameworks, and adept at proving out concepts and capturing imaginations. Responsibilities Rapid Prototyping & Development: Design, develop, and debug hardware and software prototypes, including 3D printing, hardware fixturing, and software development in C++ and Python. Work closely with evolving hardware, firmware, and higher-level application layers. Hardware-Software Integration: Thrive in embedded/on-device environments, debugging across the full stack from hardware to applications. Sensor Integration & Calibration: Drive the bring‑up, validation, and calibration of new and existing sensors, optimizing their performance and seamless integration into prototype hardware and software. Architectural Vision: Formulate and implement software architectures for prototypes on short timescales, prioritizing flexibility and clarity. Innovation & Experimentation: Propose and prototype innovative solutions to solve complex real‑world problems, leveraging state‑of‑the‑art techniques and emerging technologies. Code Adaptation & Extension: Integrate with and extend existing drivers, software frameworks, and mature codebase components, often modifying proprietary source code to achieve novel functionality. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with sensor, camera, systems, and other engineering teams to integrate components and drive project success. Lightweight Documentation: Produce clear, concise, and lightweight documentation (technical overviews, purpose, usage) for prototypes to facilitate understanding and handover. Qualifications Demonstrated experience in rapid prototyping and proof‑of‑concept development across hardware and software. U.S. Person Status: Due to government contract requirements, candidates must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder). BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. MS/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. 5+ years of professional software engineering experience OR 5+ years of applied research experience (e.g., PhD/Post‑Doc) with a strong focus on tangible hardware‑software integration. Advanced proficiency in Python and C++; bonus points for experience with CUDA. Exceptional problem‑solving abilities and a strong capacity for independent work in a fast‑paced R&D environment. Excellent technical communication and interpersonal skills for effective cross‑functional collaboration. Practical experience with sensor integration, bring‑up, validation, and calibration for various sensor types (e.g., IMU, biometric, RF, 2D/3D imaging systems). Experience with image/sensor signal processing and calibration. Experience with computer vision, machine learning, or related fields. Experience with hardware prototyping including 3D CAD and mechanical design. Experience with sensor or camera driver/firmware development.
