As an Engineering Manager, you will lead the development and refinement of a cutting-edge perception system, leveraging deep learning for real-world applications. Your expertise in computer vision, deep learning, and team leadership will drive performance improvements and seamless integration across the company.

Requirements

• Ph.D. or Master's in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years leading and managing teams focused on developing real-world computer vision and perception systems using deep learning on edge devices.
• Proven ability to deploy these systems with:
• Deep Learning Frameworks: Expertise in PyTorch or TensorFlow (one mandatory, familiarity with both a plus).
• Computer Vision Libraries: OpenCV.
• Deployment Optimization Tools: TensorRT.
• Strong Python programming and software design with experience in Pandas.
• Experience deploying DL models to run on real-world, resource-constrained, systems with a pragmatic approach towards problem-solving.
• Demonstrated proficiency in data science and traditional machine learning (SVMs, Random Forests). Prior experience with automated machine learning pipelines is desirable.
• Proven industry track record with experience in:
• Automated data annotation for computer vision.
• Training multi-task and semi-supervised deep learning models for video data.
• Familiarity with designing multi-modal deep learning models incorporating temporal context and geometrical constraints is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Oversee the entire perception system development life cycle, from problem definition to deployment and ongoing improvement.
• Lead a team of computer vision and perception engineers to develop and refine the system in a hands-on manner.
• Spearhead the development of robust computer vision algorithms for object detection, tracking, semantic segmentation, and classification.
• Champion the development and training of deep learning models for complex urban scene perception and real-time analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (cloud/device) for seamless integration and monitoring of perception models.
• Analyze data to identify performance bottlenecks and opportunities for enhancing the perception system.
• Foster automation in the improvement cycles of deep learning models used within the perception system.
• Communicate technical findings and insights effectively to stakeholders across the company to drive performance improvements.
• Utilize data visualization tools to present complex information clearly for informed decision-making.
