Senior Edge AI Engineer — Production Vision Systems

Obvio; San Carlos (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Obvio is hiring a Senior Embedded Engineer to own the software that turns cameras, compute, and vision models into reliable edge products. You will be the senior technical owner for production vision systems on the edge—from image capture and model execution through device services, fleet observability, and safe rollout.

This hands-on IC role involves writing and reviewing code, debugging in the field, making architecture decisions, and elevating engineering standards across the team.

Qualifications

• 7+ years building embedded or edge systems, with a track record of shipping and operating production hardware/software products.
• Strong C/C++ skills, plus deep experience with embedded Linux, concurrency, IPC, networking, storage, and system-level debugging.
• Hands-on experience deploying computer-vision or machine-learning inference on edge devices, not only training models or running cloud inference.

Responsibilities

• Own the production embedded vision stack, including camera capture, media pipelines, model inference, tracking, preprocessing/postprocessing, device services, and cloud interfaces.
• Design software for constrained resources, long uptimes, fault recovery, data integrity, and remote diagnostics.
• Build observability for deployed devices: metrics, logs, traces, crash data, health signals, and diagnosability tools.
• Lead safe fleet releases with versioning, staged rollout, compatibility checks, rollback, and OTA updates.
• Drive architecture decisions across embedded Linux, hardware, vision, backend, and product boundaries.
• Respond to incidents, root-cause analysis, and translate field learning into platform improvements.
• Mentor engineers, lead design decisions, and set practical standards for performance, reliability, testing, and maintainability.
