Spatial Platform
Senior AR Systems Engineer
You will work across sensors, display timing, calibration, power, thermal limits, and the spatial runtime that connects hardware to user experience. This is a deeply cross-functional role for someone who likes turning prototype behavior into a product-quality system.
What you will build
- Design low-latency loops for pose, input, rendering, and display synchronization.
- Build calibration and diagnostics tools for labs, field testing, and factory bring-up.
- Partner with optics, embedded, design, and product to turn spatial interaction into measurable system requirements.
- Define reliability targets for frame pacing, drift, recovery, comfort, and battery-aware performance.
What you bring
- 6+ years building real-time systems, AR/VR platforms, robotics, embedded devices, or high-performance interactive software.
- Strong C++, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, or systems-level TypeScript experience.
- Comfort with latency budgets, sensor data, rendering pipelines, instrumentation, and hardware constraints.
- Clear written communication for design docs, tradeoffs, and test plans in a remote team.
Nice to have
- Experience with OpenXR, Metal, Vulkan, RealityKit, Unity, Unreal, or custom rendering stacks.
- Experience shipping wearable, mobile, automotive, robotics, or headset products.
- Familiarity with display calibration, eye comfort, hand input, or spatial anchors.
Remote setup
This role is fully remote. We work async-first with written specs, weekly product reviews, focused lab blocks, and planned travel for hardware bring-up, field testing, and team sessions when needed.
Process
Intro call, portfolio or technical review, practical work session, founder conversation with Marvin Huelsmann, and offer. We keep the process direct and aim to finish within two weeks.
