Job Title: Edge AI Specialist
Company Name: Quantum Pulse Technologies
Job Type: Full-Time (On-site / Hybrid)
Experience Level: 3 to 5 Years
Job Overview
Quantum Pulse Technologies is seeking a high-performing Edge AI Specialist to join our team at the SECE Innovation Hub, Coimbatore . In this role, you will be responsible for translating complex deep learning and machine learning models into lightweight, highly optimized AI applications capable of running locally on resource-constrained embedded devices, single-board computers, and custom hardware targets. Located inside the technology hub at Sri Eshwar College of Engineering, you will collaborate with cross-functional software, hardware, and robotics teams to deploy real-time computer vision, signal processing, and predictive AI workloads to the edge.
Key Responsibilities
- Edge Model Optimization: Quantize (INT8/FP16), prune, compress, and compile deep learning models for low-latency, low-power execution on edge hardware.
- On-Device Deployment: Deploy trained models onto edge accelerators and microcontrollers using frameworks like TensorRT, TensorFlow Lite, OpenVINO, and ONNX Runtime.
- Hardware-Software Co-Design: Benchmark, profile, and tune deep learning inference pipelines across CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, and DSPs to meet strict real-time and thermal constraints.
- Data Pipeline &Preprocessing: Build efficient C++/Python data ingestion and preprocessing pipelines for real-time video, audio, and multi-modal sensor streams.
- System Integration: Work closely with embedded system and firmware engineers to integrate Edge AI runtimes into production firmware, Linux environments, or RTOS setups.
- Model Validation & Testing: Monitor accuracy-versus-latency trade-offs on target physical hardware and refine quantization-aware training (QAT) pipelines as necessary.
- Field Deployment &MLOps: Establish automated edge deployment, continuous monitoring, and remote model updating protocols for deployed devices.
- Architected internal project requirements and facilitated high-impact training programs to upskill enthusiastic internal talent.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Core Technical Skills:
- Experience: 3 to 5 years in machine learning, computer vision, or embedded software engineering, with a focus on on-device deployment.
- Programming Languages: Proficiency in C++ (Modern C++14/17) and Python .
- AI/ML Frameworks: Practical experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow for training and fine-tuning neural networks.
- Edge Frameworks & Compilers: Operational experience with TensorRT , TensorFlow Lite , ONNX Runtime , OpenVINO , or STM32Cube.AI .
- Hardware Platforms: Hands-on experience deploying AI on platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson (Nano/Orin) , Google Coral TPU , Raspberry Pi , or NPU/ARM Cortex-based SoCs .
