Base Salary

$190k - $222k/yr

Responsibilities

  • Set the perception architecture for detection, tracking, classification, and sensor fusion.
  • Develop ML models and training pipelines and deploy models to embedded devices.
  • Fuse EO/IR and other sensor data for autonomous systems.
  • Optimize real-time perception for embedded compute and latency constraints.
  • Collaborate with robotics, controls, and hardware engineers to deliver system capabilities.
  • Mentor perception engineers while contributing directly to implementation.
  • Participate in field testing in San Francisco.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience building and shipping perception systems on physical hardware.
  • Strong Python and production C++ skills with experience in computer vision, detection, and real-time tracking on live sensor data.
  • Experience deploying ML models on-device with TensorRT, ONNX, or equivalent and optimizing for embedded compute and tight latency budgets.
  • Experience building ML training pipelines through deployment and shipping systems tested against real-world targets.
  • Background in perception, robotics, autonomy, aerospace, or defense systems; research-only or offline-only experience is not a fit.
  • BS, MS, PhD, or equivalent experience in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field.
  • Helpful experience includes aerial target tracking, moving-camera compensation, thermal imagery, EO/IR or other sensor fusion, radar or RF perception, and small or long-range target detection.

Benefits

  • Base salary of $190,000 to $222,000 annually.
  • Visa sponsorship is not available.
  • On-site role in San Francisco, California, including field testing.
