Nice To Haves
- Experience with Hailo or similar accelerators
- Experience with multi-object tracking (ByteTrack, DeepSORT)
- Experience with Roboflow or similar dataset pipelines
- Experience deploying models on embedded systems
Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy real-time object detection, classification, and tracking systems
- Optimize models for edge deployment (Hailo, Jetson, ARM, etc.)
- Build multi-sensor perception pipelines (camera, lidar, etc.)
- Improve robustness under real-world conditions (motion blur, occlusion, lighting)
- Integrate perception outputs into downstream autonomy systems
