About Us

Hexagon has a number of divisions focused on different areas of business, each developing cloud-based solutions. Our central R&D group, the Innovation Hub, provides both hardware and software technologies. We aim to create innovative solutions where our core competencies in secure enterprise systems, simulation, AI, reality capture, design, and operational technologies overlap in areas such as autonomous vehicles & fleets, construction, fabrication, mining, agriculture, and smart cities. Hexagon has 20,000 staff across the globe, nearly a quarter of which focus on R&D.

Our software environment is very diverse, consisting of everything from FPGA Firmware in our own hardware devices to Cloud Native SaaS platforms. Some of our software has been in use for 30 years, while some is on the very edge of AI/ML and AR/VR research.

Each of our cloud-based products is at different stages between Lift-and-Shift and Cloud Native. Your role as part of the Cloud team in the Innovation Hub would be to help guide our divisional development teams, using best practice, through the various stages of cloud transformation, while optimizing the synergies between their solutions to increasing reuse and improve interoperability across the whole organization. Being cloud-agnostic, we would prefer to focus, where sensible, on Cloud Native tools that operate across vendors, but we are also pragmatists.
