- Deploy and optimize computer vision, signal processing, or data processing algorithms on embedded hardware
- Improve real-time, low-latency performance of ML pipelines on constrained systems
- Profile CPU/GPU performance and identify system bottlenecks
- Collaborate on algorithm selection based on hardware constraints
- Containerize and deploy solutions using tools like Docker
- Work in Linux-based environments and contribute to production-quality code
- Partner with ML and software engineers to transition models into operational environments
Qualifications
- United States Citizenship – for US Government security clearance eligibility
- Active Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) security clearance
- Experience deploying software or algorithms to embedded or edge systems
- Proficiency in Python or ability to learn quickly
- Experience working in Linux environments
- Experience optimizing performance in constrained environments
- Strong problem-solving skills across software and hardware domains
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or similar GPU-enabled embedded platforms
