VLM & VFM Forward Deployed Engineer
$150k - $300kfde
VLM & VFM Forward Deployed Engineer at Matroid, the Stanford-founded computer vision platform (founded 2016) serving manufacturing, automotive, logistics, aerospace and security customers. Train and deploy vision-centric and vision-language models for defect inspection, anomaly detection, assembly verification and safety monitoring; ship end-to-end CV systems across cloud, edge and hybrid; integrate with MES, PLC, SCADA and video management systems. PyTorch/TensorFlow/JAX, strong Python. Palo Alto, CA. $150,000–$300,000 per year. Verified on Matroid's Breezy board. Almost every FDE listing right now is an LLM job wearing a deployment hat; this one wants vision-language and visual foundation models pointed at defect inspection and PLC/SCADA integration. The 2x band width ($150K–$300K) says Matroid hasn't decided whether it's hiring a CV researcher or a field engineer — and the JD reads like it genuinely wants both. VLM & VFM Forward Deployed Engineer at Matroid. Location: Palo Alto, CA. Compensation: $150K–$300K. Posted July 18, 2026. #J-18808-Ljbffr fde
