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
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
- Solid understanding of application development and UI frameworks, enough to give technical direction on UI and application development without being a frontend specialist
- Demonstrated experience leading or technically mentoring a software team: people development, task coordination, and cross-functional stakeholder communication
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English, including explaining technical concepts to hardware engineering and production management
Would be an added benefit
- Experience with UI development and frameworks such as Angular, React, Vue.js, or a comparable modern UI framework
- Experience with real-time or near-real-time systems: sensor data acquisition, device control, streaming, or live visualization
- Experience with robotics in general, ideally including SLAM or ROS or a comparable robotics middleware in a production C++ and Python codebase
- Device provisioning, software roll-out, and OTA update systems, or image-based deployment
- Experience with GPU or graphics stack integration on embedded platforms (vendor blobs, OpenGL, Vulkan, Mesa) or patching kernel-dependent libraries (NPU, libc, crypto)
- Experience working with sensor data and sensors, particularly integrating camera or video pipelines
- Real-time 3D graphics or GPU programming
- Contributions to open-source software
