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.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

From an intern to a contractor, to a full-time employee, I've gotten to work across multiple teams and have had many different roles and responsibilities. Evolv gives you the tools to succeed personally and gives you the flexibility to try different things and find what you're passionate about, which I value highly as a young career woman.

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We have assembled a group of people from many disciplines. Each one has experienced the pain of a security checkpoint. All of them have great ideas on how to change it. I try to put a unique group of people together, focused on the customer, and let them do their thing. Their thing is truly amazing.
