SW & Algorithms Team Lead

SW & Algorithms Team LeadCyberbee is a dynamic startup headquartered in Rosh HaAyin, specializing in low-resource, easy-to-deploy, GNSS-free, SLAM-based navigation systems. Our technology enables precise, real-time localization and mapping in GNSS-denied environments for indoor and outdoor drones and robotics applications.We are seeking an SW & Algorithm Team Lead to lead the development of our next-generation navigation technologies. In this role, you will lead our SW development efforts, sync and mentor developers, and ensure our SLAM/VIO pipelines are robust, optimized, and production-ready. You will design and implement SOTA algorithms and methods, and collaborate closely with our robotics, system, and DevOps groups. This is a full-time, on-site leadership role focused on delivering high-quality real-time systems.What You’ll Be Doing (Day-to-Day)Team Leadership & ManagementLead, mentor, and grow a small team of algorithm/CV engineers and SW developers.Lead the design, implementation, and testing of top-notch algorithms and C code.Maintain high engineering standards through technical guidance and code reviews.Coordinate development workflows, task allocation, and cross-team collaboration.Drive hiring efforts, interview candidates, and build a world-class algorithm team.Research & DevelopmentDesign and prototype advanced algorithms for real-time localization and perception.Implement and optimize C++ algorithms tailored to embedded and ARM environments.Integrate multi-sensor pipelines (e.g., vision, IMU, depth) for accurate pose estimation.Stay current with the latest methodologies in computer vision, SLAM, VIO, and ROS2. Evaluate academic literature and emerging technologies in our production systems.Improve, refactor, and scale existing codebases for clarity, robustness, and maintainability.Review & CollaborateCollaborate closely with robotics, embedded, and product teams.Participate in design reviews and architecture discussions.Mentor peers and engineers in best practices for algorithmic development and design.What We’re Looking ForSkills & ExperienceComputer Vision Fundamentals: Strong knowledge of features, tracking, stereo/mono geometry, mapping, and N-view geometry. Deep expertise in bundle adjustment or graph optimization is a strong advantage.Software Engineering: Experience building production-level systems, profiling performance, and optimizing at both algorithmic and low-level layers.C++ & Python Expertise: 4-6 years building low-performance systems using modern C++ (14/17/20) and Python.Real-Time Localization (Mandatory): 4+ years of hands-on experience with VIO, VO, or SLAM.Leadership: 2+ years of experience leading a small team (formal or informal), mentoring engineers, defining priorities, and owning deliverables.DevOps /CI/CD: Experience with Docker and automated testing pipelines is a plus.EducationBachelor’s in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field. (M.Sc. preferred.)Bonus PointsExperience with Kalman filtering, MSCKF, or graph-based optimization.ROS2 experience in robotics, drones, or autonomous systems.Embedded/ARM development for real-time performance.Familiarity with IMUs, camera calibration, and multi-sensor fusion.Soft SkillsStrong leadership presence with a mentoring mindset.Excellent communication skills for guiding engineers and coordinating across teams.Proactive, self-driven, and comfortable owning complex technical challenges.Thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven startup environment.Why Cyberbee?Lead the design and development of real-life, mission-critical systems for GNSS-denied environments.Work with real-world robotics data, hardware, and cutting-edge sensors.Fast-paced, highly technical team with rapid deployment cycles.Headquarters in Rosh HaAyin, walking distance from the train station.Visit us at cyberbee.ai
