With a mission to deliver world class perception systems for Physical AI and safely integrate robotics and AI into everyday life, RealSense provides intelligent, secure and reliable vision systems that help machines navigate and interact with the human world.
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for an experienced R&D Manager to lead a multidisciplinary engineering team developing complex electro-optical test solutions to assure our depth sensing cameras meet the highest standards. This role requires a strong systems mindset, technical leadership, and the ability to manage engineers across electro-optics, software, algorithms, and mechanics in a highly dynamic environment.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineering leader who can define and drive test strategy and implementation across the full product lifecycle—from concept, development, through full system integration and to supporting high-volume manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage a multidisciplinary engineering team (architecture, electro‑optics, systems, software, algorithms, mechanical, and test)
- Own technical leadership for electro‑optical tester architecture and development
- Drive tester development from R&D to mass production
- Lead integration, validation, and root‑cause analysis
- Improve test efficiency, cost, quality, and reliability
Qualifications
- M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or another multidisciplinary technical field
- 5+ years of experience developing complex sensing or electro‑optical systems
- 5+ years of managerial experience leading and scaling R&D or engineering teams in multidisciplinary environments, with full ownership of planning, execution, team development, and support of end‑to‑end product development
- Strong system‑level understanding across hardware, software, algorithms, and complex product/system integration
- Proven experience defining test architectures for high‑volume products, including validation strategies, tester design, and production‑line optimization
- Strong program and project management capabilities, including roadmap development and cross‑functional coordination
Advantages
- Knowledge of state‑of‑the‑art machine learning and deep learning methods
- Experience working with robotic systems
- Background in test automation and scripting
- Experience supporting NPI, manufacturing, and operations environments
Why You’ll Love Working at RealSense
- Join a lean, innovative team advancing physical AI systems and enabling machines to truly perceive and interact with the world
- Be part of a high-growth startup, serving expanding markets in robotics, industrial automation, and security
- Make a meaningful impact—your work will directly influence how machines see and understand their environment
