The Opportunity

As a Sr. Embedded ML Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing the software that powers Machine Learning on our rapidly expanding fleet of deployed devices. You will collaborate closely with our Device, Imaging, and ML Modeling teams. Your responsibilities will include the design, development, testing, and productionization of our embedded systems and their associated applications. This will involve contributing to hardware requirement determination, expanding the scope of evidence capture, and enhancing the quality and speed of evidence delivery to our customers.

You will work in tandem with technical leaders to implement system components and develop robust testing frameworks. These frameworks will be essential for validating the functionality, performance, and integration of our Kotlin-based embedded codebase. While experience with model development or optimization is not a prerequisite for this role, a deep understanding of embedded systems and software quality assurance through automated testing is essential.

Skillset Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Kotlin, with demonstrated experience in building applications.
• 6+ years of professional engineering experience, including at least 3 years of experience with C++ production-grade applications or systems.
• Experience designing and developing testing frameworks, automated test suites, or continuous integration pipelines to ensure code quality and system reliability.
• Solid understanding of embedded systems programming and constraints.
• Familiarity with system-level debugging and performance profiling tools.
• Ability to tackle complex technical problems independently, learn new technologies quickly, and deliver high-quality solutions iteratively.
• Effective communication skills tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Desired Qualifications (Plus, but not required)

• Experience with Android SDK/NDK, particularly integrating Kotlin with native C++ code.
• Exposure to build systems such as CMake and Docker-based workflows.
• Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS for testing infrastructure or deployment.
• Background in image/video processing or graphics APIs (OpenGL, Vulkan).

We understand that you might not meet every single qualification. If you're excited about this role and believe you can make a significant contribution, we strongly encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to building a team where everyone feels empowered to succeed.
