Team Lead Embedded Software
NavVis
Delivers enterprise spatial twins via scans
Are you interested in leading the team that develops the embedded software at the heart of NavVis mobile mapping products?
As a Team Lead Embedded Software, you will lead and grow a team working across ARM Linux systems, bare-metal firmware and Python-based tooling. Your team owns software close to the hardware, from microcontrollers responsible for power management, sensor synchronization, and I/O through to Linux-based systems, low level kernel drivers, and tooling used by Electrical Engineering and Production.
You will combine people leadership with strong technical ownership. Working closely with Electrical Engineering, System Software, Product, Production, Quality, and Support, you will help define technical direction, establish priorities, and make clear trade-offs between scope, quality, and timelines. You will remain close enough to the technology to review architecture and designs, unblock complex problems, and contribute during critical phases such as new-platform bring-up.
This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of three days onsite each week.
Lead and develop the Embedded Software team, supporting engineers through regular feedback, growth planning, performance management, hiring, and onboarding
Own the team's technical direction and architecture across ARM Linux systems, kernel drivers, bare-metal and RTOS firmware and Python-based engineering and production tooling
Shape the team roadmap and priorities together with Electrical Engineering, System Software, Product, Production, Quality, and Support, making technical and delivery trade-offs transparent
Drive strong embedded software engineering practices, including architecture reviews, automated testing, hardware-in-the-loop setups, build systems, CI/CD, firmware packaging, and deployment
Guide the team through complex technical challenges, reviewing designs and code, removing blockers, and contributing directly where deep technical expertise is needed
Improve the reliability and maintainability of embedded systems by reducing knowledge silos and single points of failure across firmware and tooling
Build strong interfaces between Embedded Software and adjacent teams, translating product and system requirements into clear technical plans
Support successful new hardware platform bring-up, ensuring software architecture, testing, and integration evolve alongside the hardware
Significant experience in embedded software engineering on real hardware, including substantial experience working closely with Electrical Engineering teams
Strong technical expertise in embedded C and C++, including kernel and driver, bare-metal cortex M or RTOS environments, together with solid Linux fundamentals
Hands-on experience with Linux-based embedded systems, including areas such as user-space or kernel-space drivers, cross-compilation, toolchains, device trees, or system bring-up
Practical experience with Python for engineering tooling or test automation, alongside modern build, CI/CD, and automated testing practices
Experience leading and developing engineers, either through formal people management or substantial technical leadership, with the ability to give clear feedback, set priorities, and support individual growth
Strong architectural and cross-functional communication skills, with experience defining software architecture, deployment, and testing strategies and aligning teams around them
Experience working with MIPI cameras and image sensors
Experience with over-the-air firmware deployment or provisioning tools, such as Ansible, NIX
Knowledge of high-speed hardware interfaces such as USB 3.x, MIPI CSI-2, MIPI DSI, HDMI, or Gigabit Ethernet
Experience with hybrid SoC and FPGA architectures using high speed PCIe interfaces

NavVis creates and shares spatial data of built environments. It combines survey-grade mobile reality capture hardware (VLX/MLX laser scanners) with NavVis IVION, an enterprise cloud platform, to turn factories, plants and buildings into up-to-date, shareable spatial twins for engineering, maintenance and construction teams. The scanners use SLAM to map spaces, and the cloud platform stores, processes and distributes the data for collaboration, analytics and workflows. NavVis differentiates itself through its end-to-end approach: high-precision mobile scanning paired with a scalable cloud platform, strong enterprise partnerships (SAP, NVIDIA, Autodesk) and a global customer base across automotive, energy and manufacturing. Its goal is to scale its spatial data engine, advance its AI-powered product roadmap, and expand its presence in the U.S. market.
