Senior Embedded Software Engineer, Real-Time Vision - Simulator Technology

Shape the future of real-time vision in sports technology

Join Trackman’s new Simulator Technology team and help build next-generation camera systems for the world’s leading golf simulators. We are looking for an experienced engineer with expertise in real-time video pipelines, camera integration, and low-latency systems.

About the team

Trackman is the global leader in indoor golf technology, delivering advanced simulator experiences through precision tracking, virtual golf software, and in-bay technology.

Our new Simulator Technology´s (SimTech) mission is to drive innovation across the entire in-bay customer experience: cameras, projectors, kiosks, moving floors, and the software that ties them together. The team works in close collaboration with Trackman's hardware, tracking, ML, and Virtual Golf teams to deliver seamless, world-class experiences. This is a unique opportunity to become one of the first engineers shaping the future of Trackman’s simulator technology used by elite athletes and golfers around the world.

The role

You will help build a Windows-based real-time vision platform that captures camera streams, runs AI-based image analysis, and outputs video overlays. The role focuses on low-latency camera integration and high-performance video pipelines. This work sits at the heart of SimTech's camera platform the low-level foundation that everything from swing capture to AI coaching will be built on. Our current team is strong in vision/ML, and we need an engineer who specializes in camera integration and real-time video pipelines.

What you will do

• Design and implement low-latency camera capture pipelines on Windows.

• Integrate with 3rd party cameras using vendor SDKs as well as our own custom camera modules

• Build reliable frame pipelines from capture to inference handoff to overlay output.

• Optimize for stable FPS, low jitter, and deterministic end-to-end latency.

• Implement robust camera lifecycle handling: hot-plug, disconnect/reconnect, error recovery.

• Work closely with ML engineers to define frame formats, metadata, and timing contracts.

• Build diagnostics: dropped-frame counters, latency telemetry, and health logging.

• Support production readiness across different camera models and hardware configurations.

Success in this role means delivering stable, low-latency dual-camera pipelines with reliable recovery mechanisms, robust telemetry, and a well-documented architecture that enables the broader SimTech team to confidently build on the platform.

Job requirements

• 5+ years in real-time video, machine vision, or camera systems engineering.

• Strong C++ (C++17 or newer) - preferably on Windows.

• Hands-on with Media Foundation and/or DirectShow capture stacks.

• Proven integration experience with industrial camera SDKs (IDS peak / uEye SDK strongly preferred).

• Deep understanding of pixel formats, color conversion, timestamps, and buffering.

• Solid grasp of USB3 Vision / GenICam concepts and camera controls (exposure, gain, trigger modes).

• Experience with multithreaded/parallel pipelines and performance profiling.

• Practical OpenCV experience for image handling and overlay operations.

• Experience designing fault-tolerant long-running services/applications.

Preferred qualifications: Experience with GStreamer or FFmpeg, GPU acceleration, multi-camera synchronization, inference runtimes, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and GenICam / USB3 Vision standards is considered a plus.

The Office  

We are located at DTU Science Park in Hørsholm. We take great pride in the state-of-art building we have designed! The office features bright meeting rooms, coffee areas to catch up with colleagues, a large testing arena with simulators available for employees and a fitness center, everything surrounded by a beautiful forest and respecting the environment. We made sure to utilize the newest technologies to be energy efficient and be mindful of ventilation and sound propagation. The cherry on top is our canteen: with an indoor and outdoor area to enjoy the fresh food prepared by our own kitchen staff. 

Join the home of a powerful sports brand and a one-of-a-kind technology  

Our proprietary technology is based on expert knowledge about radar, computer vision, data, and software engineering. Our solutions are developed by specialists who endlessly explore and challenge new technical boundaries. Trackman’s blend of cutting-edge technology, sports, and continued growth make our company an outstanding place to work. 

Our work culture is entrepreneurial, ambitious, and rewarding as you get to collaborate with inspiring colleagues and interact with the leaders of golf, baseball, and football.
