Job Description

**Stealth Mode Startup** | Founded by Unicorn Founder | Consumer Hardware/AI

## About Us

We're building the future of intelligent consumer devices. Our team combines deep AI expertise with hardware innovation to create products that feel magical. Founded by a proven unicorn founder, we're well-funded and moving intensely fast.

## The Role

We're looking for a versatile engineer who can bridge AI/ML optimization with embedded systems development. You'll be responsible for making cutting-edge AI models run efficiently on resource-constrained hardware while building the software infrastructure that powers our device.

## What You'll Do

**AI/ML Optimization:**

- Quantize, optimize, and deploy neural networks for on-device inference

- Fine-tune and adapt pre-trained models for specific use cases (ASR, intent detection, TTS)

- Implement efficient inference engines and memory management for real-time AI workloads

- Balance model performance vs. hardware constraints (latency, power, memory)

**Embedded Software Development:**

- Build real-time audio processing pipelines for continuous capture and streaming

- Develop on-device speech recognition and natural language processing systems

- Implement computer vision algorithms for room scanning and object recognition

- Optimize software for HDMI stick form factor with strict power/thermal limits

- Create robust device software that handles hardware failures gracefully

**System Integration:**

- Design hybrid on-device/cloud AI architecture with intelligent fallback mechanisms

- Build efficient data pipelines between sensors, processing units, and cloud services

- Implement secure, low-latency communication protocols

- Work closely with hardware team on system architecture decisions

## What We're Looking For

**Required:**

- 2+ years experience in AI/ML with focus on model optimization and deployment

- 5+ years in embedded systems programming (C/C++, real-time constraints)

- Experience with model quantization, pruning, and edge AI frameworks (TensorFlow Lite, ONNX Runtime, etc.)

- Proficiency in audio processing, ASR, or computer vision pipelines

- Understanding of hardware constraints in consumer devices (power, memory, thermal)

- Experience with Linux embedded systems and device drivers

**Bonus Points:**

- Previous work on smart speakers, IoT devices, or consumer electronics

- Experience with on-device speech recognition

- Knowledge of ARM processors, GPU acceleration, or dedicated AI chips

- Background in real-time systems and low-latency audio processing

- Experience with fine-tuning transformer models for edge deployment

## Why Join Us

- Opportunity to shape the AI-powered future of consumer electronics

- Work directly with a proven founder who has scaled companies to unicorn status

- Competitive equity package with significant upside potential

- Small team where your work will have massive impact

- Access to cutting-edge AI models and compute resources

- Flexible work environment with top-tier benefits

## Location

San Francisco Bay Area (hybrid) or Remote (US timezones)
