## Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage industrial AI team building the multimodal AI core for wearable assistants used in field operations. You will own production vision-language systems end to end, from model orchestration and evaluation to deployment on real devices.


WHAT YOU'LL DO

 - Build and ship agentic vision-language pipelines that support visual reasoning and multi-step workflows.

 - Develop evaluation tools, capture failure modes, and create data and fine-tuning loops that improve model quality.

 - Adapt model serving to field connectivity, latency constraints, and edge hardware, including graceful fallbacks.

 - Create real-time voice and video interfaces, including conversational and proactive assistance modes.

 - Fine-tune open-source multimodal models for enterprise deployment, using approaches such as SFT, RLHF, and quantization.


WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

 - Typically 2 to 6 years of experience building and shipping production VLM or multimodal AI systems, using Python and PyTorch.

 - Evidence of owning AI product outcomes, including agent loops with real tool use, model orchestration, evaluation, and data improvement workflows.

 - Applied experience fine-tuning and deploying models, rather than a focus solely on pretraining from scratch.

 - Experience with production vision-language systems, computer vision, and image or video reasoning; wearable, AR, industrial AI, or autonomous systems experience is valuable.

 - Familiarity with serving and optimizing models using tools such as vLLM, Triton, Ray Serve, ONNX, TensorRT, Hugging Face Transformers, and
