Senstar is looking for a Machine Learning Developer to help bring machine learning from research into real-world applications on embedded edge platforms.
This is an opportunity for an early-career developer who enjoys working with machine learning, software development, automation, and embedded technologies. You'll work closely with an experienced ML researcher, helping build the tools, processes, and workflows that support everything from data collection and model training to optimization and deployment.
The role focuses on making machine learning development more efficient, reproducible, and reliable, while providing opportunities to develop hands-on experience with model optimization and deployment on constrained hardware.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain workflows for data collection, labeling, curation, and dataset versioning.
- Develop and improve annotation workflows for video, time-series, and other sensor data using tools such as Label Studio.
- Create reproducible training, validation, and testing datasets, maintaining traceability between data, experiments, and model versions.
- Automate model training, evaluation, regression testing, and packaging.
- Develop tools and processes that improve the efficiency and reliability of machine learning development.
- Collaborate with an experienced ML researcher on model training, evaluation, calibration, and optimization.
- Support the optimization and deployment of machine learning models to Texas Instruments embedded platforms, including TIDL and related edge inference runtimes.
- Analyze and improve inference performance, including latency, memory usage, accelerator utilization, and model accuracy.
- Develop Python and C++ tools to integrate, validate, benchmark, and deploy machine learning models.
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong programming skills in Python and C++.
- Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals.
- Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar machine learning frameworks.
- Familiarity with Linux development environments.
- Experience working with datasets, data-processing pipelines, and model evaluation.
- Understanding of common machine learning evaluation metrics, including precision, recall, F1, and confusion matrices.
- Strong software development practices, with an interest in building maintainable, reusable, and automated tools.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively with technical teams.
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field is preferred.
This position is well suited to a recent graduate or someone early in their career. Relevant academic projects, internships, research experience, and personal projects are highly valued.
Nice to Have
- Embedded systems or edge AI, including Texas Instruments processors and TIDL.
- ONNX, model conversion, quantization, pruning, or compression.
- Computer vision, signal processing, or time-series analysis.
- Label Studio or similar data annotation platforms.
- MLflow, Weights & Biases, DVC, or similar ML lifecycle tools.
