Description

OUR VISION When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don’t just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in. That’s what NavVis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it’s the reality NavVis empowers people to build better. THE OPPORTUNITY Are you excited by discovery work, cutting-edge sensors, and shaping what comes next in hardware–software systems? As a Senior Electrical Engineer (Tech Innovation), you will work on some of our most forward-looking, strategically important technology initiatives. This role is perfect for someone who loves being a generalist: exploring new components, building prototypes, integrating sensors, and influencing the direction of NavVis products. You can expect a mix of hands-on engineering, system exploration, lateral leadership, and technical storytelling that brings new ideas to life. If you enjoy diving into cameras, LiDARs, GNSS, compute platforms, ITOF sensors, and emerging technologies — while keeping your hands on prototypes, lab tools, and code — you’ll feel right at home here. HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT Lead a balanced mix of discovery work and Electrical Engineering development tasks, moving between sensor evaluations, prototyping, and sprint-based engineering activities. Explore and validate next-generation technologies—including GNSS (GPS/RTK), ITOF sensors, LiDAR, ARM CPUs, NPUs, FPGAs, and imaging modules—to inform future product architecture. Build and test functional prototypes, integrating sensors and compute units while performing hands-on lab work such as electrical measurements, optical evaluation and system benchmarking. Define system behaviors and ensure smooth hardware–software integration. Influence technical direction by identifying opportunities, evaluating feasibility, and communicating insights to stakeholders ranging from engineering teams to C-level leadership. Contribute to driving integration of new technologies into product concepts and supporting shared responsibilities across Electrical Engineering and core Software teams. WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED IN THE ROLE A university degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or a similar field 5+ years experience working on a full product lifecycle Hands-on experience with: Embedded C and Python, Linux and terminal tools, PCB design (Altium or similar) Experience with DMMs, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and optical testing setups Proven experience building hardware setups, soldering skills and prototyping Practical experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, cameras, or a variety of sensors Experience working in a product development team with multidisciplinary collaborators Ability to work independently and drive explorations end-to-end Broad interest across technologies, sensors, compute, and system-level discovery work Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical ideas to different audiences What would be an added benefit Exposure to GNSS, LiDAR, ITOF, or imaging systems HOW WE WILL KNOW WE ARE A PERFECT MATCH Your recruiting partner for this role is Sylvie (she/her). You can expect to go through a screening call, and up to 3 rounds of interviews, where we would love to discover your passion and interests, introduce you to who we are and what drives us, and finally understand how we can potentially add value to each other's growth.
