You set the technical direction, make the hard calls on hardware and architecture, and stay hands-on enough to dive into a profiler when things get tough.\n• Own the roadmap: Drive on-device AI from research to shipped product.\n• Build and lead the team: Hire, mentor, and grow a team of edge AI engineers into the best in the field.\n• Deploy at the edge: Take models from trained to deployed using quantization, pruning, distillation, and every trick it takes to make them fast and lean on embedded accelerator platforms (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm IQ-series).\n• Own the toolchain end to end: Cover model export and inference optimization frameworks (e.g. ONNX, TensorRT, AIMET) and the SDKs that turn a model into a working robot behavior.\n• Partner across functions: Work with Hardware, Software, and Product to push the limits of what fits in the latency, power, and memory budget you're given.\n• Set the bar for quality: Own benchmarking, on-device evaluation, and performance regression testing across every hardware target we ship.\n• Get hands-on when it counts: Debug an accuracy drop after quantization, chase down a latency spike, solve the problem nobody else can.\n\nWhat We Can Look Forward To\n• Strong academic foundation: An excellent Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.\n• Proven experience: 7+ years in ML or embedded AI engineering, with 2+ years leading technically. Real production deployment on embedded accelerators, not just papers.\n• Hardware fluency: Hands-on experience with embedded AI hardware platforms (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm IQ-series, or comparable).\n• Optimization mastery: Deep expertise in model optimization from the model side to the metal: quantization, pruning, distillation, and architecture search.\n• Toolchain expertise: Fluency with common model optimization and deployment toolchains (e.g. ONNX, TensorRT, AIMET, or equivalent vendor SDKs).\n• Technical depth: Strong Python and C++, PyTorch experience, and comfort with embedded Linux and low-level profiling.\n• The right mindset: A conviction that the only real test is the target chip, not the training cluster.\n• Leadership & communication: The ability to lead engineers, make calls under uncertainty, and speak fluently to researchers, hardware engineers, and product alike.
