This is the senior computer vision engineering authority for Hawk-Eye's tracking technology, and it is an individual contributor role.
Our tracking sits underneath almost everything Hawk-Eye sells.
Goal-line technology, semi-automated offside, electronic line calling, automated ball-strike.
Live and post-game data.
It runs across football, baseball, tennis, American football, ice hockey, cricket, basketball and rugby, on-premise, in the cloud and increasingly on edge devices, delivered by over 100 engineers in the Tracking and Automated Officiating value stream.
You would be the person who decides how that is built.
The role carries two hats.
As Software Architect you own the software-level architectural design across tracking, auto-officiating and data delivery.
As computer vision authority you lead the core domains: camera calibration, ball tracking, skeletal tracking, and the R&D that feeds them.
It is a hands-on job.
You set architecture for new tracking problems as they arrive, you safeguard the shared frameworks, and when a live delivery is at risk you are the escalation point who gets into the code.
What you would ownArchitecture across the value stream.
You are the lead architect for every tracking and auto-officiating product in T&AO.
You set the initial architecture when a new tracking problem enters the business, run the Software Domain Owner model so shared libraries like calibration have named codeowners, and keep designs consistent across sports.
You represent tracking in the Engineering Architecture Steering group and feed into architecture conversations across Hawk-Eye and the wider Sony Sports organisation.
Part of that is judgement.
Computer vision direction.
You are the subject matter authority.
You decide where our vision processing and ML integration goes next, research new tracking technologies and bring them in,.
