Employer

Job Description

We're looking for our next super star Application Team Leader to help develop compelling applications for Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, 3D Sensing, 3D Audio, Object Tracking and Robotics. The technology you'll help build has also shipped in over 100 million devices in products such as Smart TVs, Smart Phones, Smart Watches, Virtual Reality Headsets and Robots. and your customers will include industry behemoths including LG, Samsung, iRobot, and Sony.


In spite of all the company's global, phenomenal corporate success, you'll get to be part of a small R&D team that thrives as its own entity within the larger corporation, so you have ample freedom to innovate and explore with your talents -- and have fun as you grow in your career.
