Edge Computer Vision Engineer in Israel (Hybrid)

Develop and optimize real-time computer vision systems for Orca AI’s maritime safety technology. Improve inference speed, reliability, and observability on hardware deployed aboard vessels.

Description

  • Develop and optimize real-time computer vision pipelines processing live maritime video on edge systems
  • Convert research models into reliable, production-ready components deployed aboard vessels
  • Improve inference performance through quantization, pruning, and graph-level optimization
  • Profile and optimize the complete multi-camera pipeline, including video ingestion, preprocessing, inference, and postprocessing
  • Find and resolve performance constraints involving CPU, GPU, memory, and pipeline coordination
  • Evaluate and justify tradeoffs among latency, accuracy, stability, and resource usage
  • Design reliable video-to-output data and inference pipelines that deliver actionable information to crew
  • Create benchmarking and evaluation processes for end-to-end performance measurement and release decisions
  • Develop observability capabilities and debugging processes for production systems
  • Establish and maintain well-defined interfaces between research code and production software
  • Partner with research and backend teams to bring new models into production
  • Improve system efficiency and reliability within hardware and runtime limitations

Requirements

  • At least five years of experience building production systems, including two or more years focused on computer vision or real-time video pipelines
  • Practical experience developing and operating computer vision or deep learning systems in production
  • Advanced modern C++ skills, including multithreading and real-time programming, plus strong Python experience
  • Experience developing for edge or embedded platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson
  • Strong knowledge of inference optimization technologies such as CUDA, TensorRT, ONNX, GStreamer, or DeepStream, along with CPU, GPU, memory, and latency constraints
  • A profiling-led approach to optimization and performance tuning
  • Ability to debug complex systems and assess behavior in noisy real-world environments
  • Experience building custom, high-performance data or inference pipelines is a strong advantage
  • Familiarity with multi-sensor fusion, such as combining camera and radar data, is a strong advantage
  • Experience deploying and operating machine learning models in production is a strong advantage
  • Experience with low-level optimization or C++ performance tuning is a strong advantage
  • Demonstrated experience optimizing model inference with TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, quantization, pruning, or comparable methods is a strong advantage
