We create capabilities that multiply the effectiveness of every individual and withstand the world’s toughest environments.\nWe serve the people who build, operate, maintain, and defend our way of life. From technicians and engineers to first responders and service members, they embody the hard work, ingenuity, and meritocratic values that drive Western prosperity. Yet too often they are forced to rely on outdated tools that fail under modern pressures. Rivet exists to reset that priority.\nAt Rivet, you’ll join a mission-driven team that fuses disciplines to deliver decisive outcomes where they matter most. Whether shaping our technology, strengthening our partnerships, or building our culture, every role here contributes to equipping the front lines with the modern systems they deserve.\nWork Authorization Requirement: Due to the nature of our business and compliance with federal regulations, all candidates must be a \"U.S. Person\". Upon hire, you will be required to provide documentation verifying your status as a U.S. Citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or a protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).\nSummary\nRivet is looking for an Software Engineer focused on computer vision, tracking, and equilibrium systems for next-generation AR devices running Android and embedded Linux. This role is responsible for building perception and tracking capabilities that enable stable, low-latency, and spatially aware AR experiences in dynamic real-world environments. You will work on systems that process and interpret visual and sensor data in real time - including camera pipelines, visual tracking, scene understanding, motion estimation, and equilibrium/stability algorithms for wearable AR platforms. The role spans perception, XR runtime integration, and real-time performance optimization on constrained hardware. You will collaborate closely with sensor fusion, hardware, firmware, graphics, and product teams to deliver robust and reliable spatial computing capabilities.\nResponsibilities\nDevelop computer vision and tracking systems for AR/XR devices using different vision modalities from state-of-the-art sensor inputs.\n\nBuild and debug perception pipelines for visual tracking, scene understanding, motion estimation, localization, and equilibrium/stability systems on edge platforms such as Qualcomm, Nvidia and Intel processors.\n\nImplement performant real-time systems in C++ and C# for AR applications and device services.\n\nIntegrate with OpenXR and AR runtimes for cross-platform XR compatibility.\n\nOptimize latency, tracking fidelity, synchronization, and runtime performance on Android and embedded Linux platforms.\n\nDevelop tooling, visualization, and debugging workflows for perception and tracking validation.\n\nBuild companion applications and services for Android-based devices using Java/Kotlin.\n\nUse OpenCV and Python/PyTorch, Tensflow, Tensorflow lite for prototyping for automation, simulation, test harnesses, and CI/build tooling.\n\nHave required expertise to optimize models for end to end deployment of vision models on to the edge.\n\nCollaborate across hardware, firmware, graphics, backend, and perception teams to deliver end-to-end AR functionality.\n\nRequirements\nDeep experience building computer vision, perception, tracking, robotics, AR/VR, or real-time spatial computing systems.\n\nMS + at least 10 years (or PhD + at least 5 years) of relevant professional experience.\n\nStrong background in computer vision, motion tracking, localization, geometry, coordinate systems, and real-time systems.\n\nProficient in C++ and/or C# for performance-critical applications.\n\nExperience developing on Android or embedded Linux devices.\n\nFamiliarity with XR and perception frameworks such as OpenXR, ARCore, SLAM/VIO pipelines, OpenCV, or related technologies.\n\nStrong understanding of performance optimization, profiling, synchronization, and CPU/GPU/memory tradeoffs.\n\nExperience with Java/Kotlin for Android services and peripheral integration.\n\nPython experience for scripting, automation, testing, or simulation workflows.\n\nAbility to partner across hardware, firmware, graphics, and cloud/backend systems.\n\nTrack record of shipping complex real-time systems or XR capabilities.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nPhD in a relevant discipline with 5+ years of industry experience, or MS with 10+ years of industry experience.\n\nExperience with SLAM, visual-inertial odometry (VIO), object tracking, depth sensing, or probabilistic estimation systems.\n\nExperience with Unity, Unreal Engine, StereoKit, or comparable 3D/XR engines.\n\nExperience building wearable, robotics, aerospace, defense, or embedded perception systems.\n\nCompensation may vary within the posted range based on relevant experience, skills, education, and other job-related factors. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for equity and other forms of compensation. Eligible employees also receive a competitive benefits package, including unlimited PTO.\nRivet is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to any characteristic protected by applicable law. Certain roles may require U.S. Person status, security clearance eligibility, or other requirements imposed by law or government contract.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5477,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotic Software & Control Systems","Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T12:34:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.303,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":100,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":290000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rivet-software-engineer-computer-vision","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rivet-software-engineer-computer-vision.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T20:40:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8927,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3870400},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3870400"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frivet-software-engineer-computer-vision"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frivet-software-engineer-computer-vision"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frivet-software-engineer-computer-vision"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/rivet-software-engineer-computer-vision\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frivet-software-engineer-computer-vision"}]}
