What you'll do
- Hardware Bring-Up: Set up, configure, and benchmark a new edge AI development platform (operating system, drivers, hardware acceleration libraries, and high-speed video capture interfaces).
- Low-Latency Video Pipeline: Explore and prototype low-latency video streaming architectures using real-time processing frameworks to capture high-resolution camera feeds and drive responsive external displays.
- Telemetry & Visual Overlays: Ingest robotic telemetry alongside the video feed to render dynamic graphical annotations and spatial guidance cues directly onto the live stream.
- Computer Vision & AI Prototyping: Benchmark lightweight computer vision algorithms and modern neural network architectures (e.g., for object tracking, state awareness, or semantic scene understanding) on edge hardware.
- System Profiling & Documentation: Measure end-to-end processing delays, evaluate hardware resource utilization, and document the architecture to guide future product development.
What we're looking for
- Enrolled in a Master's degree or final year of a Bachelor's program in Computer Science, Robotics, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Practical programming experience in Python or C++.
- Working knowledge of Linux environments, shell scripting, and version control (Git).
- Foundational understanding of computer vision or machine learning using standard libraries (such as OpenCV, PyTorch, or ONNX Runtime).
- An exploratory, hands-on mindset with an interest in hardware bring-up, lab prototyping, and embedded development.
- Open-minded, self-driven & creative problem solving.
- Fluency in English is a must.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with real-time streaming SDKs (e.g., NVIDIA Holoscan, DeepStream, or GStreamer) or GPU acceleration tools (CUDA, TensorRT).
- Basic understanding of sensor fusion or 2D/3D coordinate transformations.
Benefits
- A dynamic, innovative environment with cutting-edge medical technology that is shaping the future of robotic surgery.
- Fast-growing Company where innovation meets agility.
- Structured onboarding program and training, ensuring a confident start.
- High degree of autonomy and flexibility.
