Descrição

• Lead the technical strategy for edge deployment of Deepgram's STT and TTS models, defining the architecture for on-device, on-premises, and air-gapped inference across diverse hardware targets. • Optimize models for edge and embedded platforms, driving quantization, pruning, distillation, and runtime optimization to meet strict latency, memory, and power constraints. • Partner with Qualcomm, Motorola, and other hardware vendors to ensure Deepgram models run efficiently on their chipsets, collaborating on SDK integration, performance benchmarking, and joint go-to-market. • Support defense customer requirements through AWS NatSec partnerships, translating mission requirements into engineering deliverables and ensuring Deepgram's solutions meet the unique demands of government environments. • Design and build edge runtime infrastructure, including model packaging, deployment pipelines, OTA update mechanisms, and telemetry for devices operating in low-connectivity or disconnected environments. • Harden deployments for security-sensitive environments, implementing secure boot chains, encrypted model storage, tamper detection, and audit logging appropriate for defense and government use cases. • Benchmark and validate performance across target hardware platforms, establishing repeatable test suites for latency, accuracy, power consumption, and resource utilization. • Collaborate with Research and Engine teams to influence model architectures toward edge-friendly designs from the start, reducing the optimization burden at deployment time. • Provide technical leadership to cross-functional teams working on defense and edge projects, setting engineering standards, reviewing designs, and mentoring engineers on systems and optimization practices.

🎯 Requisitos

• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, embedded computing, or edge AI deployment, with a track record of delivering production systems on constrained hardware. • Strong proficiency in C, C++, and/or Rust, with experience writing performance-critical code for resource-constrained environments. • Hands-on experience with model optimization for edge deployment, including quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, or architecture-specific compilation. • Familiarity with edge inference runtimes such as ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, TFLite, or vendor-specific SDKs (Qualcomm SNPE/QNN, MediaTek NeuroPilot, etc.). • Experience with security-conscious development practices, including secure boot, encrypted storage, code signing, and secure deployment pipelines. • Strong understanding of hardware-software interaction — CPU/GPU/NPU architectures, memory hierarchies, power management, and how they affect model inference performance. • Excellent communication skills — you will be the technical face of Deepgram to hardware partners and defense customers, and you need to be credible and clear in both contexts.
