Job summary

Liquid XR is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to build robust models for multimodal time-series sensor data and to advance from research to production in real-time systems.

The role requires expertise in Python and PyTorch, experience with low-latency pipelines, and familiarity with sensor data such as IMUs. Occasional travel may be involved, with a hybrid work arrangement in Los Angeles.

Qualifications

• Strong experience with ML for time-series data.
• Experience with transfer learning and knowledge distillation.
• Proficiency in Python and PyTorch.
• Solid understanding of signal processing fundamentals including filtering, noise, and frequency domain.
• Experience with real-world, noisy datasets.
• Experience building or deploying low-latency/real-time systems.
• Exposure to embedded or edge deployment constraints.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement machine learning models for time-series and sequential data.
• Develop algorithms to extract structured signals and latent variables from noisy sensor inputs.
• Build and optimize real-time inference pipelines that respect latency and compute constraints.
• Work on multi-modal learning and sensor fusion.
• Replace or augment classical signal processing pipelines with learned models.
• Create training strategies for windowed and streaming data.
• Develop training approaches for weakly labeled or partially observed datasets.
• Design and evaluate multi-task learning setups.
• Evaluate models using statistical metrics and application-driven performance criteria.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to move models from research to production.
• Explore sequence model architectures including Temporal convolutional networks, RNNs/LSTMs/GRUs, and Transformer-based sequence models.
