Requirements

  • 6+ years of people management experience, including demonstrated success in creating and growing research engineering organizations (e.g., teams of 20+ scientists and engineers) and delivering production systems
  • 12+ years of industry experience, including 5+ years as an individual contributor and 6 years managing, spanning software engineering, research, and technical management
  • Demonstrated expertise and technical leadership in Multi-modal Large Language Models (LLMs), Computer Vision (including 3D Machine Perception), Robotics, and multi-sensor data fusion/optimization
  • Demonstrated experience in recruiting and managing technical teams, including performance management
  • Leadership and interpersonal communication experience in working across many disciplines, drive best practices, and mentor team members
  • MS degree in Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent

Nice to have

  • Experience leading a team to ship version one products, including developing and implementing machine learning and computer vision aspects of projects utilizing deep learning models on multi-sensor edge devices
  • Experience managing teams that successfully productize Computer Vision (CV), 3D Machine perception (e.g., using images and point clouds for classification and dimensioning), and AI/ML technologies from conception to end, including establishing scientific vision for new programs based on multi-modal LLMs
  • Experience managing joint hardware-software development, specifically designing and driving to production multi-sensor ensemble machine learning and computer vision systems for real-time decision making
