  • Experience optimizing AI models and runtime performance for edge hardware
  • Familiarity with edge AI optimization tools including Ollama, Mojo, TVM, TF Lite, and vLLM
  • Experience working in the defense sector, especially with weapon and UxV systems, is highly desirable
  • Ability to manage complexity, optimize for performance, and think critically under pressure
  • Experience deploying and maintaining robust production systems
  • What We Require

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of experience contributing to the system design or architecture (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems
  • Experience building and deploying LLMs and LLM agents using modern frameworks such as PyTorch, HuggingFace Transformers, LangChain, and vLLM
  • Strong proficiency in Rust, Python, or C++
  • Bachelor's/Master's/PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or related fields
  • Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance

  • Salary
