Thermal imaging and sensing systems for defense, industrial, and commercial markets
Teledyne FLIR manufactures thermal and optical imaging systems across defense, industrial, and commercial applications. The tech stack reveals a hardware-centric organization anchored in embedded systems (C++, CUDA, NVIDIA Orin, Xilinx) paired with a heavy SAP ERP footprint—a pattern typical of large-scale discrete manufacturers. Active hiring concentrates in engineering (31 roles) with senior-level dominance, while pain points center on SAP integration stability and manufacturing process optimization, suggesting the company is modernizing both product capabilities (machine vision, robotics, deep learning) and operational infrastructure.
