Who We Are

SHOTOVER Systems is located in beautiful Boulder, CO and designs and builds high-end gyro-stabilized airborne camera systems and augmented reality software used by airborne law enforcement agencies, firefighters, military, television stations, and cinematographers around the world.

As an established private company with additional locations in New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland and the UK, we offer a seamless end-to-end solution of software and hardware solutions while delivering an unprecedented level of control, versatility and ease-of-use in a compact package backed by world-class service and support.

Job Overview

We’re capturing multiple channels of UHD video simultaneously and rendering 3D graphics in the scene in real time, along with generating a “Google Earth”- like virtual world that can be mixed and matched with video from the real world on an iPad. You will be part of the team working on our next-generation camera systems and AR software which will be focused on increasing support for higher definition video (8K), a larger variety of sensors, new hardware, integration with our flowgraph programming solution, and better scripting support (Python). Everything we do has to be done before the next vertical refresh rolls around, so speed is King -- but it also has to look good. If you like to wear lots of hats, work with a variety of experts, get out from behind a desk and do work that makes a difference, then this is for you.
