## Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage industrial AI team building wearable AI copilots for field technicians working in critical infrastructure. You will own core parts of the multimodal AI stack, from production vision-language pipelines to edge inference and real-time voice and video experiences.


WHAT YOU'LL DO

 - Build and ship agentic vision-language pipelines for smart glasses, including multi-step visual reasoning and tool use in industrial workflows.

 - Develop evaluation frameworks, capture failure cases, and create customer-data fine-tuning loops to improve model quality over time.

 - Adapt field connectivity and edge inference through model orchestration, runtime optimization, and graceful fallbacks for varying latency and network conditions.

 - Create real-time voice and video interfaces, including conversational and proactive alert experiences tailored to end users.

 - Fine-tune and optimize multimodal models for enterprise and on-premise deployment.


WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

 - Two to six years of experience shipping production vision-language or multimodal AI systems, with Python and PyTorch.

 - Experience owning model and orchestration layers end to end, and delivering AI products with measurable user outcomes.

 - Hands-on experience with multi-step agents that use tools, evaluation design, data feedback loops, and applied model fine-tuning such as SFT or RLHF.

 - Strong applied computer vision and vision-language model experience, rather than pretraining research alone.

 - Startup, founding-engineer, greenfield product, or similarly high-ownership e
