• Collaborate with machine learning research and development teams to ensure new models meet production deployment requirements.
• Optimize robotic fleet deployment pipelines from merge requests through testing and rollout using ONNX, TensorRT, and custom hardware.
• Maintain and improve edge computing infrastructure to support real‑time performance and reliability.
• Build machine learning pipelines for dataset curation, labeling, training, validation, and evaluation metrics.
• Develop simulation, diagnostics, monitoring, and alerting capabilities that accelerate robotic system evaluation and reduce mechanical maintenance during fleet scale‑up.
• Improve robotic software, compilation architectures, and Docker Compose configurations to increase machine learning performance and balance shared hardware resources.

What you'll need

• Pursuing PhD or Master's Degree in related field
• Coursework or project experience in computer science, software engineering, robotics engineering, machine learning, or a related technical discipline.
• Proficiency in Python or C++ and the ability to deliver high‑quality, working code.
• Experience with cloud‑based infrastructure or services, including Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Microsoft Azure.
• Experience working with complex data systems, including data storage, telemetry, camera, or sensor data.
• Familiarity with machine learning deployment technologies such as ONNX, TensorRT, Docker, or edge computing platforms.
