Director, Calibration Software

Magic Leap - Multiple Locations, Sunnyvale, California, United States, 94087


The opportunity

The Product Development and Engineering roles are core of Magic Leap’s revolutionary AR capabilities. These highly collaborative teams are responsible for our organization's engineering and technical operations, performing cutting-edge and complex scientific research and development that is 'defined as we build' to create new AR products, features, and marketplaces. Activities include undertaking research, design, development, and implementation activities to improve Magic Leap’s AR products and services; designing, constructing, testing, and operating equipment; ensuring that standards of quality, cost, safety, reliability, timeliness, and performance are met in production processes; interpreting plans, drawings, and specifications; and collaborating across all Magic Leap teams to ensure our AR product and features provide a high-quality, immersive experience, meeting and exceeding our customer’s needs and our business objectives.

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, robotics is a plus
