• Video Analytics Solutions: Architect and deliver end-to-end video analytics processing pipelines that operate reliably in real-time under tight resource constraints on edge hardware. The teams work closely with modeling teams and also independently devise algorithms to create end-to-end solutions to solve customer problems.
• Cross-team Collaboration: Partner closely with hardware, platform, embedded firmware, and AI research teams to translate model outputs into seamless, commercial-grade video intelligence solutions.
• High-Performance ML Inference: Drive continuous optimization to maximize throughput and minimize latency across diverse platforms.
• Metrics & Quality Optimization: Define and track core performance benchmarks to maintain superior performance in mission-critical environments.
• Talent Development & Mentorship: Foster an engineering culture of excellence, recruiting, mentoring, and retaining high-performing ML and computer vision engineers.
  

Qualifications & Experience

• Educational Background: Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, or a closely related quantitative field.
• 7+ years of engineering leadership experience managing computer vision and deep learning engineering teams delivering edge or embedded software solutions into production.
• Technical Depth in ML and ML Inference: Deep, demonstrable expertise in computer vision, machine learning algorithms, and the end-to-end MLOps lifecycle, including 5+ years of hands-on experience building and optimizing computer vision models or implementing computer vision algorithms.
• Proven expertise in solving customer problems using deep learning and computer vision techniques and in building high-performance inference runtimes.
• Team Management: Demonstrated track record of directly managing organizations of 20-30 engineers, setting clear technical goals, and executing on delivery roadmaps under tight timelines.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Strong ability to collaborate across firmware, silicon vendor ecosystem, research, and product teams to de-risk platform integrations and architectural trade-offs.
• Customer-Driven Technical Leadership (Pathfinding): Track record of translating highly ambiguous product concepts and complex customer needs into clear, executable technical roadmaps and architectural specifications.
• Start-up Mentality & Agility: Experience in a start-up or fast-paced environment demonstrating high ownership, bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to drive 0-to-1 product development with limited resources.
• Video Analytics & Camera Systems: Hands-on experience building multi-camera video analytics, real-time streaming frameworks, or embedded vision hardware solutions is a plus.
