We have an exciting new opportunity for a Computer Vision Team Manager to lead the development of advanced SLAM, perception and sensor-fusion capabilities for real-world navigation and mapping products. This role sits at the intersection of computer vision, navigation, geospatial data, embedded systems and engineering delivery.
You will manage a small-to-medium engineering team working across algorithm development, production software, integration and testing. In this role you are expected to remain technically engaged, with a strong emphasis on architecture, design review, technical coaching and delivery leadership.
This is an opportunity to lead a technically strong team working on real-world mapping and navigation challenges. You will influence product direction, shape the architecture of advanced mapping and localisation systems, and help turn research-grade algorithms into reliable engineering products.
