Job Description

Machine Learning Engineer – Computer Vision & Robotics

Tycho.AI is redefining the future of autonomous intelligence. Spun out of MIT and backed by DoD contracts, we are building breakthrough AI and autonomy solutions for unmanned systems operating in GPS-denied and contested environments. We are a fast-growing, dual-use technology company at the forefront of national security and commercial innovation, with a mission to push the boundaries of what autonomous systems can achieve.

Joining Tycho.AI means being part of a team shaping the next decade of autonomy from defense applications to commercial opportunities in areas like logistics, disaster response, and beyond. If you want to work at the cutting edge of AI/ML and robotics with a company that’s poised for major impact and growth, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize ML models for computer vision and robotics tasks.
• Build robust training and fine-tuning pipelines for large-scale datasets.
• Integrate ML systems into real-world platforms, bridging research and production.
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code across Python and/or C++.
• Stay current on research and apply state-of-the-art techniques in autonomy and perception.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Hands-on experience applying ML to computer vision and/or robotics.
• Proficiency with PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Strong coding skills in Python or C++ (ideally both).
• Experience deploying ML models and building training pipelines.
• Familiarity with Git and collaborative software development practices.

Nice to Have:

• CUDA kernel development and model optimization (quantization, pruning, distillation).
• Experience with ONNX, TensorRT, or OpenVINO for deployment.
• Robotics middleware (ROS2).
• SLAM, 3D perception, or sensor fusion (LiDAR, IMU).
• Real-time or low-latency inference pipelines.

Why Tycho.AI

• Be part of a rapidly scaling startup defining the future of autonomous intelligence.
• Collaborate with top engineers and researchers from MIT, Google, and across the defense innovation ecosystem.
• Direct impact on national security missions and dual-use commercial applications.
• Along with a competitive salary and options, Tycho.AI offer a robust benefits package, including many options from medical insurance with 80% company contribution to pet insurance and a 401(k) retirement plan.
