Team Lead, System Software/UI - Embedded Linux, ROS, C++ (F/M/D)

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…
