We are looking for a new colleague to lead our R&D efforts at Focale, a software company providing the best AI-powered visual inspection for automating the detection of complex anomalies. Our client base includes many of the most prominent brands known in the Luxury and MedTech industries.

In 2024, Focale has been incorporated as a standalone business with dedicated funding from renowned investors. We are committed to continuous investment in our core software to sustain our competitive advantage. In this dynamic market environment, your role will be critical to our continued success. At Focale, you can test and deploy the latest scientific AI and computer vision concepts directly in an applied product together with our engineering team.

Scaling a business is an exciting venture: you will become part of an eager, passionate team that enjoys shaping our company and shares all the successes and challenges that come with it. If this resonates, we would be pleased to get to know you in person.

- Intellectual Property: Identify opportunities to secure sustained technological leadership vis-à-vis our competition and define an IP protection strategy in collaboration with experts from the field. Quality and Compliance: Ensure adherence to industry standards, quality benchmarks, and compliance requirements in all R&D activities.

- 2+ years of project or team leadership experience (either in a corporate or research context).
- Solid programming skills in Python. C++ is a plus.
