NINOX 360 is an early-stage, bootstrapped startup building next-generation inspection technology for the oil, gas, and manufacturing sectors. Our customers include leading energy companies, and we're growing with new projects.

We're hiring at all experience levels, from junior to senior. Some roles are open now. Others support upcoming projects that, if awarded, will require us to staff up quickly, so we're collecting resumes in advance. Most roles begin as project-based contracts, with potential to grow into full-time positions.

To apply, email jobs@ninox360.com with your resume and the roles you're interested in.

Embedded Performance Engineer (Computer Vision)

Employment type: Contract, part-time, or full-time

Make our 3D reconstruction and image processing run fast and reliably on embedded hardware, in extreme heat and cold.

What you'll do

• Optimize existing algorithms for Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi, and similar platforms.

• Design for sustained performance under thermal throttling, battery, and memory limits.

• Build and automate hot and cold environmental tests.

• Track speed and accuracy regressions. Faster must never mean less accurate.

What we're looking for

• Strong C/C++ and experience optimizing for ARM (NEON, GPU compute, profiling tools). Kotlin/Java, Python, and shell scripting also used.

• Understanding of mobile SoC thermal and power behavior.

• Effective with AI-assisted development, and equally capable without it. Trade-secret and novel algorithm work is done without AI tools.

Bonus: Android NDK or iOS/Metal, computer vision, electronics, CAD/3D printing, or interest in field testing and trade shows.

Software Engineer, Generalist

Employment type: Contract, part-time, or full-time

A software role mixed with testing, hardware prototyping, and customer work, with direct mentoring from the founder.

What you'll do

• Run and automate accuracy and timing tests.

• Build mobile (Android/iOS) and web UIs.

• Handle basic backend development.

• Prototype fixtures, mounts, and simple electronics.

• Staff trade show booths and support customers.

What we're looking for

• Solid skills in Kotlin, Java, C/C++, or Python, plus shell scripting.

• Some mobile or web front-end experience.

• Hands-on projects with basic electronics and 3D modeling.

• Comfort talking with inspectors and engineers.

• Effective with AI-assisted development, and equally capable without it. Trade-secret and novel algorithm work is done without AI tools.

Bonus: NDT/inspection exposure, Python data analysis, computer vision, or drones and robotics.

Optical Engineer

Employment type: Contract

Design new optical hardware for close-range 3D measurement on handheld, drone, and robot-mounted scanners.

What you'll do

• Design custom lens assemblies, attachments, filters, and illumination modules.

• Optimize designs for aberrations, blur, depth of field, and working distance.

• Design optics that control glare and reflections on shiny and transparent surfaces.

• Develop longer-range optics for drone inspection.

• Tolerance designs, source components, and work with fabricators to build and test prototypes.

What we're looking for

• Degree or equivalent experience in optical engineering.

• Proven experience designing and bringing optical hardware to prototype or production.

• Proficiency with optical design tools (Zemax, Code V, or similar).

• Understanding of image sensors and camera systems.

Bonus: Mobile or compact camera modules, machine vision, metrology, polarization optics, or depth from defocus.

Hardware Engineer

Employment type: Contract

Build custom components for robot and drone integration, and help develop our next handheld scanner.

What you'll do

• Design mounts, enclosures, and mechanical aids that make scanning easier and more repeatable.

• Integrate scanners with crawlers, drones, and other robotic platforms.

• Develop electronics, power, and thermal design for a new handheld system.

• Harden hardware for field use: temperature, humidity, vibration, and drop.

• Rapid prototype with 3D printing and in-house fabrication, then work with vendors for production.

What we're looking for

• Mechanical CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or similar) and design for manufacturing.

• PCB design and basic embedded electronics.

• Hands-on prototyping and testing experience.

• Scripting in Python or shell. C/C++ a plus.

• Effective with AI-assisted development, and equally capable without it. Trade-secret and novel algorithm work is done without AI tools.

Bonus: Rugged or handheld product development, drones and robotics, thermal management, environmental testing, or interest in field testing and trade shows.
