Job description

We are looking for a motivated and talented IoT Systems Engineer to join our Toronto team and help us take our products to the next level in connectivity, reliability, and customer delivery. Our Company Invision AI is reshaping Intelligent Infrastructure and Transportation. Powered by a unique multi-camera stack that generates high-integrity 3D digital twins of dynamic environments, our technology powers disruptive, market-leading solutions in intelligent infrastructure with proven deployments across global markets. We provide real-world three-dimensional situational awareness - including 3-D detection, geo-localized tracking across sensors and sensor fusion. Our products include systems that accurately count passengers in free-flow vehicles under all weather conditions, automatic incident detection systems capable of identifying wrong-way drivers, stopped vehicles, and other traffic events in real time on roadways and railways.

The Role This is a dynamic, hybrid role for a wearer of many hats. You will work across our products, moving comfortably between C++ development, Go, Elixir, Linux systems, networking, device connectivity, monitoring, hardware testing, and customer delivery. We are looking for a tinkerer who enjoys seeing a product through, from code deployment to the customer's physical hands. This is not a narrowly focused software or IT role: you will implement and maintain features, help customers succeed, prepare hardware units for shipping, and periodically work in the field to test, deploy, and troubleshoot systems. If you enjoy understanding how a complete product works and taking ownership across the full lifecycle of connected devices, keep reading.
