Day-to-day expectations
A clear list of the work this role is designed to cover.
- Build and ship production software for sensing algorithms, translating algorithm prototypes into reliable end-to-end systems.
- Implement and own key parts of the Python shipping pipeline (integration surfaces, evaluation hooks, and quality/performance guardrails).
- Develop embedded/on-device software in an RTOS environment (e.g., Zephyr) and deploy models to device runtimes and hardware accelerators.
- Optimize real-time on-device perception loops (e.g., detection/tracking-style pipelines) for stability, latency, power, and memory constraints.
- Create data collection + instrumentation tooling to bring up new sensing modalities and accelerate iteration from prototype → dataset → model → device.
- Partner cross-functionally (algorithms, human data, firmware/hardware) to debug, profile, and harden systems against real-world variability.
