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 NavVis builds mobile mapping systems, hardware and software developed and manufactured in Munich. The System Software turns our devices into products: it runs onboard, brings up the platform, orchestrates the sensors, runs the mapping stack in real time, and gives the operator a UI to control the capture. Every scan a customer delivers starts on the device. The System Software team owns the on-device software stack across the product line, including NavVis VLX System Software, NavVis MLX System Software, and the variants that follow; the team's deliverable is a working device and a great mapping experience. We are looking for a Team Lead for the System Software team in the Mapping and Perception (MAP) department. The role spans the full on-device stack, from the mapping UI and Python backend down to the OS and platform layer directly above the kernel, and sits between software and physical devices: your team integrates upstream work from other teams, and you work closely with the hardware teams to turn hardware into a shippable product. You own one of the most consequential cross-team boundaries in the department, combining technical direction with people leadership. ### HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT - Deliver the software and user experience across the full stack, from multi-language UI and real-time scan visualization to application-level UI development (Angular, Python backend, application-level ROS nodes) and the Linux platform - Lead, mentor, and grow the System Software team across its two squads: set technical direction, coach through regular 1:1s, and drive career development and team performance together with the department lead - Ensure strong communication and collaboration within and across teams and departments - Shape product direction: work toward product goals with other teams and adapt the System Software as new sensors, form factors, compute platforms, and cross-product features emerge - Own software readiness for production launches: define technical direction and align milestones and roadmaps with product management and other teams, from early prototypes to production-ready releases - Define team boundaries and shape the hardware and software handover: establish handover conventions per subsystem, including workflows, interface contracts, and best practices - Drive reliability, data quality, and scalability of the System Software, including provisioning and update mechanisms that scale with production volumes, and own the team's internal infrastructure (CI pipelines, hardware-in-the-loop tests, stress tests) to catch regressions early and keep quality measurable - Uphold engineering quality through the development workflow, release, QA, and code-review processes, contributing hands-on where it matters, and drive AI adoption while balancing speed and quality ### WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED IN THE ROLE - Master's degree or PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field, and 7-10 years of professional software engineering experience on systems that run on real hardware - Experience managing a shared technical boundary with another team, for example platform and driver or software and hardware, through interface definitions, handover conventions, defined ownership, and a joint mission, in environments where software engineering intersects with physical device production or hardware integration - Strong C++ experience in a production codebase, with solid Python for tooling, scripting, and automation --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
