• Knowledge of C++11 language and standard library
• Experience in identifying bottlenecks in software consisting of multiple components

Nice to have:

• Solid knowledge of Linux, including scheduling, memory managements, multithreading and synchronization, inter-process communications, network stack, input/output devices
• Familiarity with robotics middleware, especially with ROS, ROS2
• The ability to work independently with hardware development kits and necessary equipment: lab power supplies, oscilloscopes, digital signal analyzers

Swiss-based tech startup WayRay is a game changer in the field of automotive and augmented reality technologies. With offices around the world and $100 million of investment, we are seeking ambitious individuals to join our fast-growing team. At WayRay, we believe that we are never done learning and growing. We are a team of professionals that are continuously gaining new knowledge, experimenting with new approaches, and developing our emotional intelligence. At present, we are looking for a Photopolymer Expert to be a key member of the Platform Solutions department. As a Photopolymer Expert, your primary goal will be to support the product team in research and development of automotive windshield stacks. You will work closely with Holography Engineers and with our external partners.

This role reports directly to the head of platform solutions department and is located in Moscow.

Support the product team in research and development of automotive windshield stacks focusing on:

Analysing chemical interactions between adhesive materials and special photopolymer films;

Defining material requirements based on understanding of polymerization process during special treatments and impact from environmental conditions;

Researching ideas to improve polymer performance looking at kinetics and mechanisms during pre-processing and photoactivation;

Proposing new methods for characterizing chemical, mechanical and thermal properties of photopolymers;

Planning material analysis and testing in-house and with external labs;

Consulting the team on polymer chemistry, being the point of expertise for interdisciplinary tasks.

WayRay is a global deep-tech company which is leading the world in holographic AR, and we are looking to hire out-of-the-box thinkers with a deep-tech mindset.

As a company, we are deeply ambitious, and we want everyone who works with us to share that ambition. We are not an average startup, and if we are a match, that means you are not an average tech professional. If you are ready to face challenges head-on and push yourself beyond your limits, then you are right for us. It won't be easy, but we promise it will be awe-inspiring.

At present, we are looking for a Computer Vision Algorithm Developer to be a key member of the Software department that is developing an augmented reality platform for cars equipped with our holographic head-up displays.

As a Computer Vision Algorithm Developer with a strong understanding of visual localization algorithms and multiple view geometry, your primary goal will be enhancing our localization stack and reconstruct the surrounding environment for proper placement of AR objects. Our software team utilizes an agile methodology to be more flexible and result oriented.

Improve existing Visual-Inertial Odometry algorithm:

• Evaluate current Visual-Inertial Odometry algorithm performance on real data and compare with its performance on synthetic data obtained from a simulator.
• Investigate critical performance issues and propose ways for quality improvement.
• Solve critical issues of 2D features tracker in terms of quality and computational resources consumption.

Adaptation of developed algorithm for production:

• Fine-tune Visual-Inertial Odometry algorithm implementation.
• Computational performance improvement using SIMD/GPU + efficient algorithms to reach real-time speed preserving the original quality from the previous step.
• Unit tests + integration tests covering all computer vision parts inside the localization stack.
• Improve the quality of feature tracker preserving mean error of tracking in different conditions (including bad weather).

Long-term tasks:

• Real-time 3D surrounding world reconstruction with dense point clouds/depth maps.
• Real-time tracking of dynamic objects (vehicles, pedestrians) as part of SLAM algorithm.

WayRay is a Swiss-based tech startup on a mission to create a future where any transparent surface is a window into virtual worlds. Right now, we’re seeking bright minds to join our team of talented professionals and bring our vision to life.

At WayRay we like to work hard and play hard. Our team members are passionate about deep-tech and love taking on new challenges. We like to go where no one has gone before, pushing the boundaries and seeking for new approaches.

We have a deep root in R&D, value curiosity, experimentation, and are always trying to think out of the box.

We are currently interested to get in touch with experienced Business Development Managers / Key Account Managers, with previous experience matured in major Tier 1 automotive suppliers, dealing with the development and sales of complex Hardware + Software technology solutions.

The role is reporting to the Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, and will have the responsibility over all the potential clients (OEMs) within Germany. At the beginning the role will be of single contributor, but in the years to come small regional teams will be created.

As a member of the Business Development team, your primary goal will be to identify potential clients (OEMs) within your area of responsibility, approach them (in some cases from green field), and introduce them our unique AR HUD technology. The overall goal is to raise their awareness and interest in our ecosystem, eventually leading to an invitation for an RFI / RFQ.

Due to the complexity of our technology and to the high degree of customization of each system, you will need to work closely with R&D, and to feel comfortable in having a very good level of technical understanding of our products and ecosystem.
