Innovation & Processing Lead

Do you spot a drifting trajectory before anyone else has opened the point cloud? Do you enjoy switching between a soldering iron, a LiDAR scanner and a Python script in the same afternoon? Then we’re looking for you.

At BeExact, our mobile mapping and backpack systems capture large volumes of LiDAR, camera and GNSS/INS data every day. Turning that data into reliable end products takes more than software it takes someone who understands the whole chain. As our Innovation & Processing Lead, you become the technical link between Field Operations, Hardware, Mobile Mapping, Data Processing and the final product.

You lead our Data Processing team, you’re the go-to person when something doesn’t add up, and you help shape the next generation of our mapping systems. Problems don’t stay on the shelf with you: you analyse them, solve them and make sure they don’t come back.

What you’ll do

• Lead and coach the Data Processing team, and be their first point of escalation for complex technical issues.
• Act as the central expert for questions on data quality, processing, trajectories, GNSS/INS, point clouds, and camera and LiDAR data.
• Investigate issues during and after data acquisition and decide on the best fix – from reprocessing to adjusting the workflow.
• Test, build and modify mobile mapping and backpack hardware, including sensors, cameras, LiDAR, GNSS/INS and electronics.
• Support colleagues and operators with technical problems in the field when needed.
• Translate field experience into structural improvements to our systems, workflows and procedures.
• Think along about new hardware and software solutions, and share your knowledge so the whole team grows.

What you bring

• Several years of experience in mobile mapping, surveying, geodesy, robotics, autonomous systems, mapping or sensor integration.
• Experience with complete mobile mapping systems is a big plus.
• Solid knowledge of several of the following: LiDAR/point clouds, GNSS, INS/IMU, camera and imaging systems, geodata, data-processing workflows, sensor integration and hardware troubleshooting.
• Comfort working with Linux and/or Windows systems, networks and system communication.
• Python or similar scripting skills are an advantage.
• Experience guiding or coaching technical colleagues.
• Good professional command of both Dutch and English.

Who you are

You don’t need to be a specialist in every field but you quickly understand where a problem lies and who or what is needed to solve it. You are:

• Technically curious and hands-on.
• Independent, decisive and willing to take ownership.
• Calm when operational issues arise.
• Equally comfortable with hardware, software and data.
• A clear communicator with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
• Someone who asks not only “how do we fix this?” but also “how do we prevent it?”

What we offer

• A senior key role with real responsibility and room for your own ideas.
• Hands-on work with advanced mobile mapping and backpack systems.
• A team that values your expertise and is eager to learn from you.
• A hybrid working arrangement: around 50% at the office and 50% flexible. During tests, incidents or key projects you’ll naturally be on site more often.
• A competitive salary and good terms of employment like a full pension paid by BeExact.
