Responsibilities

  • Allocate CPU, GPU, and interconnect resources across perception models and inference engines running on the robot.
  • Lead initiatives to improve compute utilization through model sharing, model fusion, and scheduling strategies.
  • Optimize multimodal sensor-fusion models, LLMs, and VLMs using quantization, pruning, mixed precision, and parameter-efficient fine-tuning.
  • Architect and implement model conversion and compilation pipelines using TensorRT for edge deployment.
  • Write production-level, low-latency, memory-safe C++ and CUDA code for real-time vehicle inference.

Requirements

  • Deep experience optimizing CPU/GPU systems for low latency or high throughput.
  • Deep expertise in real-time systems, including latency, memory utilization, and memory bandwidth constraints.
  • Deep expertise in PTQ, QAT, and mixed-precision inference using INT8, FP8, FP4, and BF16/FP16.
  • Proficiency developing custom ML operators and TensorRT plugins with efficient CUDA kernels for AI accelerators.
  • Production-level C++ and Python programming experience, including concurrent, memory-safe, real-time inference code for edge devices.
  • Prior high-performance robotics experience in AV, drone, or robot applications is a bonus.
  • Familiarity with autonomous-driving perception algorithms, multimodal sensor processing, autonomous-driving foundation models, and edge deployment technologies such as TensorRT-LLM is a bonus.
