Embedded AI Data Scientist

AI overview

Deploy machine learning models on edge devices while optimizing for latency and power consumption, working closely with robotics engineers for integration.

We're looking for a data scientist to deploy machine learning models on edge devices, wearables, and mobile robotics platforms. You'll optimise our models to run efficiently on resource-constrained hardware, focusing on minimal latency, reduced power consumption, and compact model architectures.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deploy and optimise machine learning models for embedded systems and edge devices
  • Implement efficient inference pipelines in Rust using any of the following Burn, Candle,tch‑rs, Rust‑BERT, nnl, rustorch, rustyml  framework
  • Reduce model size and computational requirements through quantisation, pruning, and distillation
  • Minimise latency in real-time systems whilst maintaining model performance
  • Profile and optimise memory usage and power consumption for battery-powered devices
  • Collaborate with robotics engineers to integrate ML models into hardware platforms
  • Benchmark performance across different embedded processors and accelerators

Essential Requirements

  • Strong data science background with practical ML model development experience
  • Proficiency in Rust for systems programming and embedded applications
  • Strong Python proficiency enabling quick experimentation and prototyping.
  • Experience with any of: Burn, Candle, tch‑rs, Rust‑BERT, nnl, rustorch, rustyml or willingness to work extensively with Rust-native deep learning frameworks
  • Experience with model optimisation techniques (quantisation, pruning, knowledge distillation)
  • Understanding of embeddings and their efficient representation
  • Knowledge of edge ML frameworks and deployment strategies
  • Experience with robotics platforms or embedded Linux systems
  • Understanding of hardware constraints (memory, compute, power)
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure or AWS.

Desirable Skills

  • Experience with ARM processors, microcontrollers, or specialised ML accelerators
  • Knowledge of ROS (Robot Operating System) or similar robotics middleware
  • Familiarity with sensor fusion and real-time processing
  • Experience with wearable device development
  • Understanding of battery management and power-efficient computing
  • Contributions to Rust ML ecosystem or embedded Rust projects

Additional Information:

• This is a full-time position.

• We offer competitive salary packages and benefits.

• Professional growth and learning opportunities will be provided.

• A positive and collaborative work environment awaits you.

If you are passionate about contributing to the exciting field of generative AI and creating innovative applications that push the boundaries of technology, we would love to hear from you.
