  • Fine-tune, optimize, and deploy ML models and SLMs on edge platforms for reliable on-device inference under memory, compute, and latency constraints.
  • Use coding agents and agentic workflows across software design, implementation, debugging, testing, and review.
  • Collaborate with domain and AI engineers to deliver reliable software and validate correctness, performance, and security.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, AI/ML, or a related field.
  • 1–3 years of relevant experience.
  • Strong Python skills and proficiency in another language such as C, C++, Go, or Java, plus foundations in data structures, algorithms, software design, and debugging.
  • Hands-on AI/ML or LLM/agent application development using tools such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face, including model integration and evaluation.
  • Experience using AI coding agents such as Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code, with the judgment to validate generated code.
  • Preferred qualifications include ML/DL and LLM foundations; SLM adaptation through fine-tuning, LoRA/PEFT, distillation, or quantization; edge inference; RAG, MCP, LangGraph, or A2A; and open-source AI contributions, research, hackathons, or independently developed applications.
