About the Role


Join Hawk-Eye Innovations (HEI) as a Senior Computer Vision Engineer on a freelance basis. This role focuses on developing real-time skeletal, ball, and game object tracking systems across multiple sports. You’ll work on advanced computer vision pipelines and mathematical models that power our world-leading sports tracking technology.

Your work will contribute directly to live sporting events — solving complex, real-world problems where accuracy and performance truly matter. You’ll collaborate with engineers across teams to build, optimise, and deploy production-grade systems that redefine how sport is seen and experienced.


Core Responsibilities:

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

  • Model behaviour from noisy inputs using robust mathematical and statistical methods.

  • Develop, test, and optimise C++ code for real-world performance and reliability.

  • Prototype and experiment with vision techniques using OpenCV, CUDA, and numerical libraries.

  • Build internal tools for visualisation and debugging of vision pipelines.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on goals, requirements, and delivery.

Technical Skills & Experience:

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

  • Proficiency in C++14 or newer.

  • Experience with performance optimisation for CPU and/or GPU.

  • Strong mathematical and analytical skills for modelling real-world data.

  • Familiarity with OpenCV, Eigen, and other numerical or vision libraries.

  • Experience using Git or other version control systems in collaborative environments.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with CUDA or GPU-based computation frameworks.

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

  • Familiarity with Python for prototyping or experimentation.

  • Experience in real-time or embedded systems.

  • Interest or experience in sports technology.
