Edge Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Assemble, configure, and test Roboflow edge devices for deployment (Jetson devices, servers, cameras, sensors, etc.)
• Build relationships with hardware partners and systems integrators to streamline sourcing and coordinate field support.
• Ship devices to customers with proper documentation and configuration presets.
• Maintain inventory of hardware components, including cables, mounts, lenses, enclosures, and more.
• Reorder critical components as needed.
• Lead on-site device installations, hardware bring-up, and system validation.
• Ensure proper connectivity (RTSP, VPN, SSH) and integration with Roboflow’s software.
• Travel up to 75% to customer locations.
• Support customers in field troubleshooting of cameras, inference pipelines, and data uploads.
• Manage network setup on Linux-based edge devices (interface binding, static IPs, DHCP config).
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including SOPs, wiring diagrams, and setup guides.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and support teams to share field feedback and drive product improvement.

Who You Are

• Hands-on hardware experience: You’ve worked with embedded devices (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson), industrial cameras, or similar hardware in field deployments.
• Computer vision experience: Familiarity with Roboflow or similar computer vision inference pipelines.
• Self-starter: You operate with autonomy in the field and know when to escalate versus when to fix it yourself.
• Problem-solving mindset: You’re resourceful and calm when debugging issues on-site under time constraints.
• Excellent communicator: You write clean, helpful documentation and collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Python and Bash scripting: Able to write scripts to automate routine tasks or customize device behavior.
• Linux and Networking Proficiency: Comfortable with system-level debugging, interface configuration, and tools like nmcli, ifconfig, systemd, and docker.

Nice to Have

• Experience with PoE cameras (e.g., Basler, Lucid Vision) or IP camera configuration.
• Familiarity with manufacturing plant safety protocols and basic electrical wiring.
• Experience building remote monitoring or telemetry solutions for edge devices.

Interview Process

• Before the Interview: Review your application, LinkedIn, Github, etc. Write about something you’ve built with Roboflow or contributed to one of our open source projects.
• Introduction Phase: Meet with hiring manager to assess for overall mindset and skillset.
• Team Interview Phase: Technical Assessment - meet with fellow Edge Engineer, Demo - build a project with Roboflow and share your work.
• Final Interview Stage: Meet with Head of Operations for a culture discussion, Meet with Joseph Nelson, CEO.
