The Company

Metropolis develops advanced computer vision and machine learning technology that make mobile commerce remarkable. Our platform is already deployed in hundreds of mobility facilities and industries with billions in opportunity. We’re building the digital pipes through which the future of mobile commerce will move.

The Role

Metropolis is seeking a Senior Electromechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of our field deployed custom hardware systems. We are developing a broad suite of technologies that enable the operation of our CV/ML platform, including but not limited to camera and computer vision systems, embedded computers, IoT sensors and automated access control systems.  

In this role, you will be responsible for defining and developing these hardware systems, including leading the overall design for the electrical and mechanical portions of the systems.  Your work will let you span engineering disciplines - on any given day you could find yourself moving between camera system design, mechanical housing development, COTS sensor system integration, and more. You will work closely with members of the Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Operations organization to define requirements and support manufacture and deployment of hardware into production.  You will be expected to wear many engineering hats and support a variety of development efforts.   

This is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor and help define the direction of the technologies that will power Metropolis into the future.  If you have a background in embedded systems, sensors, cameras and computer vision, and are interested in developing systems that go out into the real world, please reach out!

When you join Metropolis, you’ll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility and real estate.  Our goal is to build an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice, and the best idea wins.  You will play a key role in building and maintaining this culture as our organization grows.
