Full-time
Compensation Range: $TBD - $TBD + depending on experience
Location:
Hamilton, ON, CANADA
SHOTOVER Systems is headquartered in beautiful Boulder, CO, and designs and builds high‑end gyro‑stabilized airborne camera systems and augmented reality software used by airborne law enforcement agencies, firefighters, military, utilities, television stations, and cinematographers around the world. With additional locations in New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland, and theUK, we offer a seamless end‑to‑end solution of software and hardware solutions while delivering an unprecedented level of control, versatility, and ease‑of‑use in a compact package backed by world‑class service and support.
Job Overview We are looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer to join our software engineering team in Hamilton, Ontario, working on a state‑of‑the‑art gyro‑stabilized camera system. The development team is responsible for all embedded firmware and some associated PC tools which drive the stabilized gimbals. This role will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing control systems to ensure the camera system performs accurately and reliably across its multiple modes of operation.
Key tasks include conducting simulations, performing real‑time testing, and collaborating with cross‑functional teams to integrate control systems with sensors and actuators. SHOTOVER combines the agility of a focused team with global recognition. We operate in an environment where individual contribution is paramount and supervision is minimal. We are looking for a self‑directed professional who combines technical expertise with a results‑driven mindset.
If you are an engineer who thrives on taking initiative and solving complex problems with a positive attitude, you will fit right in.
