Senior Engineering Manager, Robotics

Overview

We are looking for a hands-on technical leader to head our Intelligent Audio & Video (IAV) engineering team in Athens. This team drives the control and orchestration layer and collaborates on robotic perception that powers Room Awareness and multi-camera/multi-audio automation inside the Q-SYS Vision Suite.

As Lead Robotics Engineer, you will lead a group of 5–6 engineers, while remaining deeply technical yourself. You will own the architecture and delivery of the next generation of Vision Suite, optimized for multi-room setups, advanced room awareness, and orchestration across multiple cameras and microphones. You will also spearhead the development of a lightweight VisionSuite designed to run efficiently on small Q-SYS Core processors.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of intelligent AV, bridging robotics perception and control with professional audio/video systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of 5–6 engineers, fostering technical excellence, collaboration, and growth.
• Evolve our architecture to support multi-room setups, optimizing room awareness and control logic across diverse spaces.
• Drive multi-camera and multi-audio device orchestration, including PTU control, active speaker tracking, and seamless switching.
• Deliver a lightweight, resource-optimized version of VisionSuite for deployment on smaller Q-SYS Core processors.
• Design, prototype, and review code in C++ and Python, focusing on real-time systems, robotics perception, and control pipelines.
• Collaborate closely with UI, ML, Audio & Video and Platform teams, integrating their outputs into a cohesive IAV system.
• Work with product management and system architects to align technical direction with product roadmap.
• Champion engineering best practices (testing, CI/CD, performance tuning) for robust, production-ready releases.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Senior/Principal Engineer or Technical Lead in robotics, perception, or real-time control systems.
• Strong hands-on skills in C++ and Python, with experience in distributed or embedded real-time architectures.
• Background in robotics control, multi-sensor fusion, or room/device orchestration (ROS experience a plus).
• Deep understanding of system architecture and performance optimization for resource-constrained environments.
• Track record of leading a team (5+ engineers), mentoring, and driving delivery while remaining technically hands-on.
• Excellent problem-solving and system design skills, with a bias for practical, scalable solutions.
• Strong communication skills; able to bridge between product vision, system design, and implementation.

Nice To Have

• Experience with AV&C systems, Q-SYS, or professional audio/video environments.
• Familiarity with networked media protocols (AES67, Dante, NDI, etc.).
• Exposure to PTZ control systems or mechatronics.
• Previous work with room awareness, spatial analytics, or multi-device orchestration.
