About the role

This role sits at the intersection of machine learning, embedded systems, and hardware engineering.
Success means models that are not just accurate in the lab but fast, small, and dependable in the field.

measure latency, throughput, memory footprint, and power consumption, then drive the changes needed to hit performance targets.
Design, write, and maintain the C++ application code that hosts inference on device, including pre- and post-processing pipelines, data and memory management, threading, and interfaces to the rest of the embedded system
Build test harnesses to verify on-device accuracy against reference results and catch regressions from optimization or quantization
Set best practices for edge deployment, review designs and code, and mentor other engineers on optimization and embedded ML techniques
work closely with research, firmware, and product teams to set realistic performance targets and feed hardware constraints back into model design.
Backed by our founders' successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop will have a real-world impact.

10+ years of professional software or systems engineering experience, including at least 2 years focused on deploying ML models to embedded or edge devices
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Very strong C++ proficiency
working knowledge of CUDA
hands-on experience with PyTorch and at least one edge inference runtime such as TensorFlow Lite, ONNX Runtime, or TensorRT.
Practical experience with model optimization techniques including post-training quantization, quantization-aware training, pruning, and distillation
Working knowledge of embedded or edge platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm, ARM Cortex, or comparable NPUs and SoCs, and of Linux or an RTOS
Experience with NVIDIA Jetson specifically, including TensorRT optimization and deployment on Jetson platforms.
