The EVA Systems Engineer joins the Computer Vision Systems team to develop intelligence for mobile phones, autonomous vehicles, IoT, robotics, and AR/VR platforms. This role involves defining system and algorithm-level architectures, performing feature decomposition, and driving hardware and software requirements. You will profile and optimize model performance across memory, compute, power, and bandwidth constraints on embedded platforms while collaborating with cross-functional teams to commercialize visual analytics experiences. The position requires expertise in computer vision, video processing algorithms, SoC architecture, and modern deep learning architectures. Essential technical skills include proficiency in Python and C/C++ for production-quality development, alongside experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, and OpenCV. You will solve complex problems regarding the mapping of image and video algorithms to neural-processing accelerator architectures for efficient on-device implementation across various hardware and software boundaries.

What you'll do

  • Define system and algorithm-level architectures, standard studies, and feature decompositions to drive hardware and software requirements.
  • Profile and optimize algorithm and model performance across memory, compute, power, and bandwidth constraints on mobile platforms.
  • Develop production-quality code in Python and C/C++ using ML/CV frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and OpenCV.
  • Implement computer vision and video processing algorithms for real-time deployment on embedded systems and SoCs.
  • Create technical documentation, design specifications, and feature descriptions to guide internal teams and external partners.
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers across various experience levels.
  • Drive the transition of technologies from initial research through final production deployment.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience.
  • A Master's degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 1+ year of relevant experience.
  • A PhD in Computer or Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Strong background in computer vision and video processing algorithms.
  • Solid understanding of SoC architecture, including compute accelerators, memory hierarchies, and hardware/software interfaces.
  • Hands-on experience with modern deep learning architectures and real-time computer vision systems or embedded AI deployment.
  • Proficiency in Python and C/C++ using frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, and OpenCV for production-quality development.
  • Experience with performance profiling tools, hardware simulators, and familiarity with FPGA prototyping or RTL design is a plus.
