Job description

Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Smart Cameras & Vision

Founded in 1923 in Brussels, Macq is a company of experts and engineers grouped together around a single mission: innovating every day to simplify its customers’ professions. Our company is now an essential partner for Traffic and Automation-related professions because we have always earned customer trust.

We develop smart cameras that improve mobility and increase road user safety, analyzing video streams in real time to detect road users and traffic events, protect vulnerable road users, and make traffic safer and smoother. As a Senior Engineer, you'll be at the heart of our embedded vision R&D, tackling complex, real-time computer vision challenges with a direct, tangible impact.

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, you might be who we're looking for!

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing our embedded platforms:

• Design the embedded software architecture of our smart cameras on NVIDIA Jetson platforms

• Develop and integrate modules in C++ and Python on embedded Linux
• Handle camera stream acquisition and processing (calibration, pre-processing, encoding)
• Design and implement sensor fusion between multiple sources (additional cameras, LiDAR, radar) for robust detection
• Deploy and optimize vision/inference models on the edge (TensorRT, CUDA)
• Apply security best practices to our embedded systems and data flows
• Optimize performance: real-time constraints, latency, memory footprint, power consumption
• Provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers
• Contribute to hardware/software architecture decisions together with the hardware and R&D teams
