Senior Software Engineer, 3D Development

We, LMI Technologies, are recognized as one of Canada’s Best Workplaces. Our organization is built on a culture of openness, respect, and professional excellence. Our team members work passionately toward the common goal of designing and delivering innovative 3D machine vision solutions to OEMs and System Integrators. We build cost-effective 3D sensor technologies that deliver the best results in even the most challenging 3D inline inspection applications.

As a Senior Vision Software Developer , you will be a technical leader within our R&D team, reporting to the Software Development Manager. You will be the driving force behind the core algorithms that allow our sensors to perceive and reconstruct the 3D world with sub-pixel precision.

We are seeking a hands-on expert in classical computer vision, 3D metrology, and physics-based signal processing to design, develop, and perfect the high-performance 3D acquisition and calibration algorithms at the heart of our next-generation sensor products . This role focuses primarily on classical computer vision, and a machine learning background is highly welcome as an additional skill that will be extremely valuable for our future roadmaps.

You will join a close-knit, multi-disciplinary team of 14 developers. You will have the opportunity to mentor junior members and lead complex technical projects from concept to completion. The ideal candidate thrives on solving difficult, hardware-adjacent algorithmic problems and developing production-ready, highly optimized C/C++ code.

Core Responsibilities

Technical Design and Development:

Design and develop robust 3D acquisition algorithms, such as laser triangulation and fringe projection, for our sensors to produce high-fidelity 3D data from 2D images.

Develop, optimize, and maintain critical components of our sensor calibration, geometry, and acquisition pipeline.

Write and optimize manufacturing software tools required for focusing, alignment, and calibration to build and test new sensors.

Characterize, validate, and document prototype sensor performance, working with the team to integrate final designs for customer use.

Problem Solving and Leadership:

Lead technical investigations into challenging acquisition problems, sensor physics, and algorithm improvements, producing reports and documentation for senior management.

Demonstrate strong ownership, driving complex projects to completion within reliable time frames.

Mentor other team members, lead peer design and code reviews, and act as a subject matter expert for the team's software architecture.

Proactively contribute to and implement continuous improvement initiatives in our development processes.

What You Need to Be Successful

Must Have Qualifications:

• A Master's Degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field with a focus on computer vision or signal processing. We place a strong emphasis and preference on candidates holding a Master's degree.
• 7 or more years of professional experience in classical computer vision, 3D metrology, computational geometry, point cloud processing, scene reconstruction, or image-based signal processing.
• Expert level C/C++ programming skills, with a solid grasp of memory management, multi-threading, and synchronization in a production environment.
• Deep understanding of object-oriented programming, advanced data structures such as lists, trees, and binning, and algorithm optimization.
• Strong foundational knowledge of mathematics, 3D geometry, and statistics.
• Proven experience in independently planning and leading complex software projects from design to completion.
• Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

Previous experience as a team lead, technical lead, or Scrum Master.

Experience developing software for hardware-adjacent products in a manufacturing, robotics, or factory automation environment.

Familiarity with C# with the ability to read and transition to it when necessary.

Proficiency with scripting languages like Python for testing and tooling.

What We Offer

Base Salary Range: $110,800 to $157,890 CAD, commensurate with experience + Eligibility for Profit Sharing Program Participation (pending business performance).

Health Benefits: Full health care coverage with paid premiums, including dental, vision, and drugs for you and your family.

Financial Perks: A Group Retirement Savings Plan and a monthly internet allowance.

Work-Life Balance: We support a healthy balance with hybrid work arrangements, flextime, and generous paid time off.

Growth and Development: An annual Education Support Program for training and professional growth, plus annual performance reviews and Lunch and Learns.

Culture and Perks: Enjoy free healthy snacks and drinks, team-building budgets, tenure awards, and our official Star Wars Day May the 4th company holiday!

Wellness: Access to an on-site fitness facility, tennis and basketball courts, and company-wide wellness challenges.

Location and Work Model: This is a hybrid position based out of our Burnaby, British Columbia headquarters. Because this role requires regular hands-on interaction with physical sensor prototypes and lab equipment, we require local candidates currently residing in the Lower Mainland or Metro Vancouver area.
