Edge AI & Embedded Systems Engineer

About the Role

We're building AI-powered solutions that run directly on physical hardware and edge devices wearable devices and vehicle-based systems among them. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who's comfortable at the intersection of hardware and software, getting AI inference running reliably under real-world constraints of power, memory, latency, and environmental conditions.

You'll lead the technical development of our first wearable AI device deployment, then extend that capability to sensor-based systems in vehicle and industrial contexts as the program grows.

• Lead end-to-end technical development of an AI enabled wearable device solution, from hardware integration through to field deployment

• Manage hardware-software integration, including device SDKs, drivers, firmware interfaces, and sensor APIs

• Design and implement AI inference pipelines optimised for edge compute constraints power, memory, and latency

• Evaluate, select, and implement edge AI frameworks such as ONNX, TFLite, TensorRT, or similar

• Develop and execute hardware-in-the-loop testing and validation protocols

• Extend the platform's edge AI capability to vehicle and sensor-based systems, including integration with onboard diagnostics and telematics data

• Document hardware integration processes, deployment playbooks, and maintenance procedures

• Stay current with developments in edge AI hardware, wearable computing, and embedded AI frameworks

Required:

• Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline

• 1–3 years' experience in embedded systems, edge AI or hardware-software integration

• Hands-on experience with embedded or edge devices wearables, IoT hardware, industrial devices, or similar

• Proficient with hardware communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, BLE, and device SDK integration

• Demonstrated experience deploying ML/AI models on resource-constrained or edge hardware

• Able to debug at the hardware-software boundary using appropriate embedded debugging tools

• Proficient in C/C++ for embedded systems, and Python for AI/ML pipeline development

Preferred:

• Experience with vehicle sensor systems or automotive telematics CAN bus, OBD-II, or similar in vehicle data protocols

• Experience with computer vision pipelines object detection, image classification, or scene understanding

• Familiarity with AR or wearable hardware platforms

• Exposure to Io platforms and sensor network architectures

• Experience with modern AI-assisted development tooling

• Prior work in field deployment of edge AI solutions in an industrial or logistics environment

• The opportunity to own and shape a strategic, growing capability from the ground up

• Direct collaboration with senior technical leadership on solution architecture and deployment strategy

• A hands-on role spanning both cutting-edge software and real physical hardware deployment
