Field Application Engineer

Occipital is one of the world’s leading SLAM and spatial computing companies. We are working hard not only creating cutting edge technology, but also selling our solutions to AR/VR HMD and robotics companies around the world. We’re looking for a trailblazer to tap into the growing Asia-Pacific market. The candidate needs to be adept at hands-on coding in addition to providing customer-facing, local on-site support. This position would also involve account management further down the road.

Occipital is committed to creating spatially-aware solutions that just work. We love it when our products deliver a seamless computer vision experience, and so do our customers. We’re looking for engineers that want to develop and hone this experience on all of our platforms, large and small.

The Field Application Engineer role is multidisciplinary:

• Cross-platform: Comfortable working on Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, etc.
• Comfortable with software design principles, not just hacking around. You’ll be diving deep into the heart of our systems, and you should know how to find your way around.
• Great communication in both Mandarin and English: communicating solutions with clarity and courtesy to internal dev teams, partners, and customers.
• An engineer with business sense: You’ll perform a mix of engineering and sales/marketing/business development. You should have the know-how to work through engineering problems, but also have the finesse to talk and work with external teams, and perform their job duties while reducing need support from the USA-side team.

Responsibilities:

• Investigate, research, debug, and solve integration problems.
• Perform demos for our potential customers in the Asia-Pacific territory, with occasional demo tweaking for special requirements.
• Help our partners evaluate Occipital’s technology with the goal to make a design win with important customers.
• Support partners with app development and support and build technical demonstrations.
• Build and sanity test release binaries and push new releases to production.
• Work with our internal and open source git repos, as well as our automated build & testing systems.
• Build understanding about the wide variety of software across our platform at a deep engineering level.
• Enhance, expand, and develop documentation, resource materials, and technical FAQs.
• Profile and optimize complex computer vision applications, graphics, and UI.
• Quickly develop prototype and sample applications for various platforms.
• Manage and participate in developer discussion forums and support queues to debug and resolve technical/coding issues.
• Work around sometimes-strict deadlines, and know how to best organize priorities.
• Reach out to many potential customers, engage with the right teams, and convince the right decision makers to adopt our products and technology.

Work Culture & Expectations:

• Self-motivated and able to work remotely while the core team is in the US.
• Able to work with the engineering team on the technical side, as well as business development team on the sales opportunities side.
• Track many details (attention to detail) while maintaining the big picture.
• Personable, and able to connect and build relationships within the industry.
• Ability to take the initiative and promote Occipital products to partners.
• Travel required in China, USA, Taiwan, and potentially Korea and Japan.
• Great teamwork and interpersonal skills, strong written and verbal communication skills, proactive attitude, and a drive for results.
• Demonstrated creative problem-solving approach and strong analytical, debugging, and troubleshooting skills.

Qualifications:

• Experience working on Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, etc.
• Experience with API design (.h files, documentation, sample code, etc).
• Significant experience programming in C++, Objective-C, OpenGL, and scripting languages.
• Understanding of 3D mathematics and algorithms.
• Experience with Git version control, especially rebase, branching, and merging.
• A history of shipping code: side projects, products, open source.
• Bachelor or equivalent degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience in the industry. Master or equivalent degree recommended.

Pluses:

• 2+ years experience of graphics and real-time performance optimization.
• 2+ years of experience in software engineering, release engineering.
• Prior experience engaging with customers / outside developers directly.
• GPGPU (OpenCL/Metal/CUDA)
• Prior knowledge or hands-on experience in image processing or computer vision, robotics research and experience in mapping and navigation in visual SLAM and dense reconstruction.
• Prior experience developing mixed and virtual reality applications.
