We're looking for a Product Integration Engineer to develop and prove out our products with military customers, starting with the Field Operator HUD (FOH): a head-mounted, always-on visual intelligence system built from Distance hardware, a HUD operating system and AI-assisted data processing that pulls sensor, feeds and command-and-control into the operator's field of view.
Your job is to make it work on a specific customer's platform, in the field, not just on a bench, as part of our core R&D team.
If you're a hands-on generalist who knows VR or XR and would rather be where the tech meets the user than stuck at a desk, this one's for you.
WHY DISTANCE?At Distance Technologies, the problem we're solving is simple to state and hard to solve: the amount of data in the world is endless, but human capacity is not.
We are building a fundamentally new perception layer between humans and machines, transforming transparent surfaces into interfaces unlike the world has ever seen.
Think of the windscreen of a car, the visor of a helmet, or a sight device, each becoming a new front-end for AI.
The way we turn bits and atoms into expanded human perception is protected by over 50 granted international patent families.
We build it for two demanding worlds: defence and automotive.
And we build it from a single foundation fusing software, hardware and computational optics.
There are 60 of us today, with decades-long experience building world's best products, optics, and open-source operating systems.
We partner and build with globally leading companies like KIA, Supacat, and Galvion, and we were Google Ventures' first investment in Finland.
THE ROLEThe FOH is already in field trials with military users.
Your first project is getting it working with British Army equipment and defence primes, building the integration around what the customer actually needs.
As our product line grows you'll take on a widening set of customer integrations across our defence work, each one a different.
