Join Our Team at Hawk-Eye Innovations

Hi, I’m James Sharam, Head of Computer Vision at Hawk-Eye Innovations. I’m looking for a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to join our growing team. This is a key role focused on real-time skeletal, ball, and game object tracking for multiple sports. A strong background in mathematics and modelling is encouraged. If that kind of technical challenge excites you, I’d love to hear from you.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Senior Computer Vision Engineer, you’ll work on real-world problems at the heart of our tracking technology — developing systems that operate in high-stakes, live sports environments. From ball and player tracking in football and tennis to developing multi-view vision pipelines and contributing to the core of our AI platform, your work will directly impact how sport is played and watched around the world.

What We Value

We value curiosity, analytical thinking, and a practical mindset. Our team thrives on experimentation, iteration, and solving difficult problems — especially when data is noisy, requirements are ambiguous, and the solution needs to perform in the real world. If you enjoy taking complex technical ideas and turning them into elegant, efficient systems, you’ll feel right at home.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement computer vision algorithms for real-time tracking across multiple sports

• Model behaviour from noisy inputs using robust mathematical approaches

• Develop, test, and optimise C++ code for use in production environments

• Prototype and experiment with vision techniques using tools such as OpenCV and CUDA

• Build internal tools to support visualisation and debugging of vision pipelines

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment on goals and requirements

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team development

Tech Stack and Skill Requirements

Required:

• Strong background in computer vision fundamentals (e.g. tracking, multi-view geometry)

• Proficiency in C++ (C++14 or newer)

• Experience with performance optimisation for CPU and/or GPU

• Familiarity with OpenCV and numerical libraries (e.g. Eigen)

• Strong mathematical skills with an ability to model and reason about real-world data

• Experience using version control tools such as Git in collaborative environments

Bonus Skills:

• Experience with CUDA or other GPU-based frameworks

• Exposure to sensor fusion, Kalman filters, or similar techniques

• Familiarity with Python for prototyping and testing

• Experience working on real-time or embedded systems

• Interest or experience in sports technology
