Applied Research Engineer – Robotics Data & ML
TuringFull Time
Mid-level (3 to 4 years)
Candidates should possess a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent field, coupled with at least 3 years of experience deploying ML models on embedded or edge platforms, preferably in robotics. A minimum of 2 years of experience with CUDA, TensorRT, and other NVIDIA acceleration tools is required, along with proficiency in Python and C++ for performance-sensitive systems and experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms and edge inference tools. Familiarity with model conversion workflows is also expected.
The ML Performance Engineer will own the full lifecycle of ML model deployment on robots, from handoff to system integration, and will be responsible for converting, optimizing, and integrating trained models for Jetson platforms using NVIDIA tools. This role involves developing and optimizing CUDA kernels and pipelines for low-latency, high-throughput model inference, profiling and benchmarking ML workloads, and identifying and removing compute and memory bottlenecks. The engineer will also design and implement strategies for model quantization and compression, ensure model robustness under resource constraints, manage memory layout and concurrency for optimal GPU/CPU usage, build benchmarking pipelines, collaborate with QA and systems teams for validation, and work closely with ML researchers to influence model architectures for edge deployability.
Autonomous delivery robots for food and retail
Serve Robotics is changing the delivery industry with its self-driving robots that provide sustainable and efficient delivery solutions. Instead of using traditional vehicles, these lightweight, autonomous robots deliver small items like food and retail products, reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion. The company operates on a delivery-as-a-service (DaaS) model, allowing businesses in the food and retail sectors to subscribe and pay based on their delivery needs. Serve Robotics aims to lead in the autonomous delivery market by offering eco-friendly solutions that enhance customer experience.
