Company Mission

BRELYON is a series A startup offering the world’s first headset-free virtual display to replace multimonitors or headsets in high-bandwidth enterprise applications like teleoperations, data visualization, operations centers, and simulation training. The technology combines novel physics, computational display techniques, and deep learning to create and render depth and panorama, emulating an IMAX-like experience in a 32” monitor form factor. Our goal is to enhance the human-computer experience by operating on light and optimizing visual perception. (See the video here.)

We are seeking a Director of Engineering to lead our innovations in next-generation display technology. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in computational optics, modern software tools, and AR/VR systems, with a proven track record of bringing advanced display solutions from concept to production. Such a candidate can manage and lead a multidisciplinary engineering team, solve problems, and think strategically to develop a technical roadmap, bringing technology from concept to production.
