You will implement the machine learning capabilities customers actually touch - the self-learning inspection tools, color and measurement tools, and the training workflows that let a plant engineer teach the system a new defect without a data scientist in the room. This is an implementation-heavy role with real ownership. You will take a modeling approach from prototype to a shipped, monitored feature, and you will own its accuracy and latency in production. You will build in an AI-first engineering environment - coding agents running inside a harness we own, evals gating AI-generated changes, GitHub Copilot Enterprise and Claude in the daily loop, and MCP-based tooling that lets agents reach real build, test, and telemetry systems under human-in-the-loop review. On this team that extends into the model workflow itself: agents scaffold experiments and triage dataset failures, and an accuracy regression suite gates a model change the same way a test suite gates a code change. Your Responsibilities: * Implement and ship machine learning capabilities in the product, from model training pipeline through the user-facing configuration workflow. * Build and maintain the training, labeling, and dataset management pipelines the product and the field depend on. * Develop evaluation suites and accuracy regression tests that gate model changes before release. * Tune models and inference pipelines to meet latency and throughput targets on edge hardware. * Debug model behavior against real customer data and turn field failures into dataset and evaluation improvements. * Participate in design, code, and model reviews, and contribute to the team's ML engineering practices. ## Related Videos - [Tour de Force: Open-Source LLM Inference Optimization from Simple to Sophisticated](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100099-tour-de-force-open-source-llm-inference-optimization-from-simple-to-sophisticated) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
