About this role
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,<a targe
