As a Senior Artificial Intelligence Engineer, focused on algorithm optimization, you will help to design, implement, and optimize Machine Learning models to achieve low latency on edge and cloud devices. You will become part of a talented team exploring new concepts through fast iterative prototyping. You will collaborate as an AI optimization expert with our other machine learning engineers, platform engineers, embedded software engineers and research experts of the team.

A Day in the Life

In our computer vision/machine learning team, you will be responsible for:

• Benchmarking and optimizing different existing network architectures and their latency in different target platforms

• Further re-designing or optimizing existing network architectures to improve their forward flow and reduce latency

• Developing production pipelines in the cloud or edge devices to process surgical videos in real-time with our optimized models

• Delivering well-written and high-quality code

• Sharing results during regular meetings

• Staying updated with state-of-the-art methods and propose novel approaches for problems at hand (we try to devote time to do research and share it with the team)
