AI / Perception Engineer

About the role

We are seeking an AI / Perception Engineer to build and deliver the perception layer of our autonomy stack. This is a high-impact role focused on building real-time computer vision and sensor fusion systems that operate reliably on constrained edge hardware in dynamic environments. This is not a research-only role. You will be responsible for taking perception systems from concept → prototype → field deployment, working across software, hardware, and real-world testing.

Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy real-time object detection, classification, and tracking systems
• Optimize models for edge deployment (Hailo, Jetson, ARM, etc.)
• Build multi-sensor perception pipelines (camera, lidar, etc.)
• Improve robustness under real-world conditions (motion blur, occlusion, lighting)
• Integrate perception outputs into downstream autonomy systems

Required Skills And Experience

• Strong experience with modern CV models (YOLO, transformers, tracking systems)
• Experience training, fine-tuning, and deploying models
• Experience with edge inference optimization (TensorRT, ONNX, etc.)
• Strong Python + C++ (or Rust) skills
• Experience working with real-time video pipelines

Preferred Skills And Experience

• Experience with Hailo or similar accelerators
• Experience with multi-object tracking (ByteTrack, DeepSORT)
• Experience with Roboflow or similar dataset pipelines
• Experience deploying models on embedded systems

Work Location

This role is assigned onsite at our Leander, Texas location. In-person work is required.
