AI/ML Engineer (Computer Vision & Robotics)

Who we're looking for

We are seeking an AI/ML Engineer with a strong background in computer vision and robotics. In this role, you will be responsible for building, optimizing, and deploying production-grade machine learning systems directly onto edge hardware. You will sit at the intersection of deep learning and robotics, ensuring that our real-time detection models operate with ultra-low latency during high-speed field operations.

If you are obsessed with inference optimization, edge deployments, and making robots smarter, we want to hear from you.

What you’ll do

• Model Development: Design, train, and deploy deep learning models for computer vision using PyTorch, focusing on real-time object detection and spatial awareness.
• Inference Optimization: Maximize model inference speed and guarantee low-latency performance on edge hardware utilizing CUDA and TensorRT.
• Robotics Integration: Seamlessly integrate advanced computer vision models for perception and navigation for robots, drones, unmanned systems, swarms, etc.
• Edge Deployment: Manage, scale, and maintain containerized edge deployments across distributed hardware using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Performance Engineering: Drive automated data insights and high-performance edge computing initiatives to deliver measurable accuracy gains and operational efficiency in complex, high-speed field environments.

How we decide

An ideal candidate will be someone with;

• Technical depth in ML/AI with a preference for computer vision and robotics. Preference on experience in modality including EO/IR, Acoustic / SONAR, RF / SAR.
• Proven contributions, whether in industry or academia, that moved innovative ideas closer to product. 3-5 years industry experience
• Hands-on execution: the ability to design, build, and ship, not just theorize.
• Collaborative independence: you’re comfortable making autonomous progress, but you thrive in a team environment.
• Growth mindset: curiosity, adaptability, and willingness to learn new approaches and tools.
• Are fluent in Python and modern ML frameworks like PyTorch; familiarity with agentic AI frameworks is a bonus.
• Know your way around CI/CD, automated testing, and documentation, and care about building robust systems.
• Have some familiarity with data science front-end/UI workflows to support quick demonstrations (streamlit, dash, gradio).
• Have a track record of driving innovation from research or prototypes into production ready features or products

Location and Benefits

• US Citizen requirement due to nature of our projects.
• Candidates based in NJ or Washington DC preferred, remote/hybrid possible.
