Responsibilities

  • Convert research prototypes into production-grade software for reliable, real-time execution on hardware.
  • Harden perception pipelines involving pose estimation, SLAM, and calibration for embedded platforms.
  • Profile and optimize CPU, memory, and GPU performance using profiling tools and microbenchmarks.
  • Write, profile, and debug CUDA kernels for compute-intensive workloads.
  • Integrate research outputs into production code with testing, error handling, and observability.
  • Containerize and package workloads with Docker for infrastructure-team deployment and scaling.
  • Work with researchers to balance algorithmic accuracy, latency, and resource usage.
  • Coordinate with infrastructure teams to hand off production-ready workloads using orchestration and compute systems.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of industry software engineering experience focused on systems, performance, or production ML.
  • Strong proficiency in C++, including modern C++17/20, memory management, and performance-conscious coding.
  • Experience writing, profiling, and debugging CUDA GPU kernels.
  • Experience optimizing CPU performance, including profiling, cache behavior, SIMD, and latency reduction.
  • Proficiency in Python and familiarity with PyTorch and TensorFlow sufficient to read and modify research code.
  • Comfort with Linux systems, build systems, debugging tools, and containerization.
  • Experience shipping research or prototype code in production is valued.
  • Experience with real-time or embedded systems, perception, computer vision, or robotics is valued.
  • Experience optimizing model inference with TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, or similar tools is valued.
  • Understanding of the lifecycle from research notebook to containerized, monitored production service is valued.
