THE OPPORTUNITY
At NavVis, we build cutting-edge technology that powers spatial intelligence across industries — on a large, performance-critical C++ and Python codebase.

This is a software engineering role at its core. We're looking for a strong engineer who has chosen to specialise in
how software gets built
— the build systems, toolchains, and workflows that let hundreds of engineers write, test, and ship code faster. You'll design and build developer tooling, speed up local development, and remove friction across the engineering organisation.

You'll work closely with our infrastructure and DevOps teams, but
this is not a DevOps or platform-operations role.
Your focus is the developer
inner loop
— build speed, test reliability, toolchain design, and engineering productivity. Most of your time goes into building and improving developer-facing tooling, not operating production infrastructure.

If you have deep software-engineering fundamentals and enjoy pointing them at build systems, CI/CD, and a smooth end-to-end developer experience, you'll have the autonomy to shape how NavVis engineering builds and ships software.

How You Will Make An Impact

• You will design and build the tooling, frameworks, and automation that streamline how NavVis engineers write, test, and release code — treating developer tooling as a first-class software product, not glue scripts.
• You will improve the developer inner loop end to end: faster and more reliable builds, dependable tests, better local development environments, and modern toolchains across a large C++/Python codebase.
• You will own significant parts of our build and CI/CD systems — build graph, caching, toolchains — to raise developer velocity and cut friction across teams.
• You will solve hard engineering problems in build performance, hermeticity, and cross-language/cross-platform builds, applying the systems-design and debugging depth of a strong senior engineer.
• You will partner with engineering teams to find workflow pain points, set best practices, and drive measurable improvements in onboarding, build times, and productivity.
• You will act as a technical catalyst — evaluating new tools, prototyping, and influencing how the whole organisation builds and delivers software.

What Will Help You Succeed In The Role

• You are a strong software engineer first: at least 5+ years designing, building, and shipping production software, with real depth in C++ and Python.
• Experience with large and complex C++ codebases — build times, caching, cross-compilation, dependency management.
• Solid computer-science fundamentals — systems design, debugging, and writing robust, maintainable code. A Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on expertise with modern build systems and source-control workflows: CMake, Bazel (or comparable), Git, devcontainers.
• Strong experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, TeamCity, or similar).
• Comfortable in Linux and on the command line (Ubuntu/Debian preferred), with Python/Bash scripting for automation.
• Confident with Docker / containers for local development and CI.
• A genuine passion for developer productivity, plus the communication and collaboration skills to influence other engineers.

Would be an added benefit:

• Familiarity with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Ansible, Terraform, Helm).
• Exposure robotics, computer vision, or other systems/embedded domains.

THE OPPORTUNITY

At NavVis, we build the world's most advanced mobile mapping systems - hardware & software platforms that capture spatial reality with extraordinary precision. The quality and reliability of every scan we deliver depends on the sensors we calibrate and ship with our products.

We treat calibration as a core pillar of NavVis' competitive differentiation. The team works across an exceptionally broad technical surface: sensor physics, camera and LiDAR geometry, IMU modelling, production processes, evaluation infrastructure, cloud and local services, and an emerging intersection with ML-based perception.

We are looking for an experienced Team Lead to head this team within the Mapping & Perception department. You will combine deep sensor expertise with genuine people leadership - setting technical direction, developing your engineers, and driving the calibration product forward with the ambition to build world-class devices. This is a role with high strategic ownership, close ties to device production, and strong cross-team connections.

If you care deeply about data quality, automation and smoothly running production processes and want to lead a team that is as knowledgeable about our sensors as the vendors who build them - this role is for you.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Lead, mentor and grow a team of calibration software engineers - setting technical direction, running regular 1:1s, supporting career development, and owning team performance together with the department lead.
• Own the calibration end to end: the software, the calibration process, and the documentation - from early-stage methodology design through production rollout and ongoing supervision of the calibration process for cameras, LiDARs, IMUs and other sensors.
• Drive the strategic direction for accuracy, repeatability and scalability of calibration - pushing toward less human-dependent processes, greater automation, and faster iteration cycles from development to production.
• Develop deep understanding of the sensors NavVis uses by building team knowledge of sensor design, behaviour, and limitations that rivals the vendors themselves.
• Serve as the primary technical interface between the calibration team, the production floor, and adjacent engineering teams while ensuring rapid feedback loops and smooth cross-functional collaboration.
• Anticipate and shape how calibration evolves alongside NavVis hardware: new sensors and new form factors, ML-based pipelines, and automation platforms.
• Identify, escalate, and resolve issues in calibration processes and tooling in close collaboration with the production teams, translating their feedback into software improvements.
• Contribute hands-on to the codebase where it matters - this role carries a meaningful expert component alongside its leadership responsibilities.

What Will Help You Succeed In The Role

• Master's degree or PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or a closely related field.
• 7-10 years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on sensor systems - ideally in calibration, sensor fusion, or a closely adjacent domain such as SLAM or machine perception.
• Hands-on experience working in environments where software engineering intersects with physical device production or hardware integration.
• Direct experience calibrating cameras, LiDARs and/or IMUs, including knowledge of the underlying geometric models (intrinsics, extrinsics).
• Strong C++ development skills in a production codebase, and solid Python for tooling, scripting and automation.
• Demonstrated experience leading or technically mentoring a software team, including people development, task coordination and cross-functional stakeholder communication.
• Excellent communication skills in English - written and verbal - with the ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences including production and engineering management.
• A deep passion for sensors
• Proficiency in Linux

Would be an added benefit:

• Experience with C++ libraries such as Ceres, Eigen, OpenCV, PCL, ROS, or Boost
• Background in modelling and solving 2D/3D geometry optimization problems.
• Familiarity with SLAM systems and the relationship between calibration quality and mapping performance.
• Exposure to ML-based perception techniques and their implications for sensor and calibration design.
• Track record of contributing to or maintaining open-source software.

How We Will Know We Are a Perfect Match

Your recruiting partner for this role is Rina (she/her). You can expect to go through a screening call, and up to 5 rounds of interviews, covering your technical depth in sensor systems and calibration, your leadership approach and people development philosophy, and how you collaborate across teams. We want to understand what drives you, share what drives us, and explore how we can grow together.
