Red 6 is seeking a Principal Computer Vision Engineer to advance the development of next-generation AR systems for military and commercial applications by designing, implementing, and optimizing state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms for real-time AR capabilities in dynamic environments, with a key focus on head tracking algorithms for AR/VR applications.
Requirements
- 8+ years of hands-on software development, with a strong focus on computer vision.
- Proven expertise in head tracking algorithms for AR/VR or related applications.
- Expert proficiency in C++ and Python (5+ years each).
- Demonstrated success delivering production-quality, real-time perception systems.
- Deep expertise in head pose estimation, object tracking, and sensor fusion.
- Experience integrating and calibrating optical sensors, IMUs, and real-world hardware.
- Strong knowledge of performance optimization, multi-threaded programming, and low-latency systems.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement advanced head tracking and pose estimation algorithms optimized for AR/VR use cases.
- Develop multi-sensor pipelines (optical, IMU, GPS, etc.) to enable accurate, drift-free tracking and localization.
- Architect, implement, and refine computer vision systems in C++/Python for real-time AR environments.
- Rapidly build, test, and refine AR perception systems with hardware-in-the-loop validation.
- Push algorithms to the limits of low-latency and high-reliability performance, ensuring operational readiness.
- Partner with hardware, optical, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of tracking systems into AR platforms.
- Dive deep into technical challenges at the hardware/software interface, delivering practical and innovative solutions.
Other
- This is not a people-management position.
- We are looking for a do’er — someone who thrives on solving hard technical problems, building production-quality systems, and directly driving innovation.
- As a senior technical authority, you will lead by example through your contributions, setting the standard for technical excellence across the engineering team.
- This position may require a security clearance. To obtain clearance, employees must show proof of US Citizenship.
- Prior work on head tracking in AR/VR systems (e.g., headset-based applications, HUDs).
