  • Demonstrated experience to plan and execute multi-year research roadmaps, aligning short-term projects with long-term vision
  • Experience mentoring and influencing engineers and researchers across organizations
  • 10+ years deploying foundational research into machine learning products
  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have:

  • Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Expertise in Computer Vision, Robotics, Sensor Fusion, or Machine Learning
  • Experience technically leading teams of ML and software engineers, owning the full model lifecycle from research to deployment
  • Track record of shipping computer vision or image processing products to millions of users, or initiating new product lines
  • Experience in rapid prototyping of systems spanning devices and backend services
  • Background in embedded or real-time systems
  • Publication record in relevant fields
What we offer:
