An Insider's view of Evolv Technology

How does your team reward individual success?

Depending on the magnitude of the success, anywhere from a "thank you" from your manager to a pizza party for the entire team!

What kinds of technical challenges do you and your team face?

Nearing a new product launch, we are analyzing and synchronizing sensor data acquired from our custom DAS hardware, sending it to our algorithms in real-time through multi-threaded C++ code, and tuning to maximize performance. Our HW+SW engineers work together closely, making dynamic, gratifying improvements prior to locking down the designs.
