Summary
What you’ll impact
Our organization is seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to lead the perception stack for its advanced laser weapon system, handling detection, tracking, classification, and sensor fusion. The role involves close partnership with the CTO, robotics software team, and hardware groups to deliver real‑time perception on embedded targets.
Responsibilities
What you'll do
- Lead the perception stack for Archimedes — detection, tracking, classification, and sensor fusion across the targeting chain.
- Partner directly with our CTO and the robotics software team, and own perception as a domain.
- Perception architecture across detection, tracking, classification, and sensor fusion
- ML model development, training pipelines, and on-device deployment
- Multi-sensor fusion across EO/IR and other sensors as relevant to the targeting chain
- Real-time performance optimization on embedded targets
- Mentorship of perception engineers as the team grows
- Direct partnership with controls, robotics SWE, and hardware on what's actually achievable
Requirements
What you’ll bring
- 5+ years building and shipping perception systems on real hardware
- Strong Python and C++ with deep ML engineering experience
- Computer vision, tracking, and detection in real-time, real-world conditions
- On-device deployment experience using TensorRT, ONNX, or equivalent
- Track record optimizing perception for embedded compute and latency budgets
- BS, MS, or PhD in CS, EE, Robotics, or equivalent. Track record matters more than degree
