$183,300–$268,800 year
Hybrid · Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Job Summary
Lead end-to-end development of edge ML models for outdoor monitoring on resource-constrained embedded devices (e.g., outdoor cameras, doorbells); architect, train, and deploy transformer-based vision models and hybrid CNN-transformer backbones optimized for embedded inference; drive model efficiency through architecture decisions, quantization/pruning, distillation, and mixed precision to meet strict FPS/memory/power budgets; partner with embedded/firmware and platform teams to integrate models into production pipelines; set evaluation strategies for robustness in night, weather, and fast-motion conditions; mentor other ML engineers and raise engineering standards across experimentation, versioning, and deployment; required strong Python and PyTorch/TensorFlow skills and senior, staff-level leadership experience.
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years in applied ML/ML engineering
- Strong computer vision background with deep learning
- Hands-on experience with vision transformers and/or DETR-style architectures
- Experience deploying models in resource-constrained, real-time environments (embedded/mobile/IoT/edge)
- Proficiency in Python and PyTorch and/or TensorFlow; ability to productionize models
- Staff-level leadership; ability to drive ambiguous initiatives and mentor engineers
