We are developing a small, autonomous gun turret that employs advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely target and neutralize small drones and loitering munitions. Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced engineers. \nWith an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation. Backed by our founders’ successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop have a real-world impact. \nPosition Overview\nWe are seeking an experienced CV/ML Platform Engineer with specialization in Computer Vision and Machine Learning (CV/ML) to design, build, and own the data, model, and compute infrastructure powering ACS CV/ML team. You will help manage a 130+ GPU bare-metal Kubernetes cluster, own CV/ML CI/CD pipelines, and ensure ML model training proceeds at high volume with low friction. \nWhat You'll Do: \nDeploy and operate Kubernetes clusters on bare-metal infrastructure hosting 130+ NVIDIA GPUs, with hybrid burst capability to AWS for scalable compute and storage workloads. \nManage NVIDIA GPU clusters for ML training. \nOwn the ACS CV/ML CI/CD pipeline. \nImprove and maintain core ML infrastructure, such as model registration and versioning, experiment tracking, and model and data provenance tracking. \nImprove and maintain ML model testing, performance analysis, and reporting tools. \nAutomate repetitive model training and testing tasks to increase developer velocity. \nWork with Software Team Platform Engineers to ensure efficient coordination and minimal duplication between CV/ML infrastructure and wider Software infrastructure. \nCollaborate with the Software Team to automate the optimization of models (TensorRT/quantization) for deployment on NVIDIA Jetson and other edge hardware. \nRequired Technical Skills: \n2+ years of experience in Platform Engineering or DevOps/MLOps. \nStrong programming skills are required for automating ML lifecycles and building custom CLI tools for CV engineers. \nHands-on experience with NVIDIA GPU infrastructure, including managing CUDA libraries and development environments, GPU Operator, device plugins, and scheduling (MIG, Volcano, or fractional GPU sharing). \nExperience implementing and maintaining MLOps platforms such as Kubeflow, MLflow, Weights & Biases (W&B), or DVC for experiment tracking and model versioning. \nFamiliarity with high-performance storage solutions (e.g., MinIO, WEKA, or Ceph) and data orchestration tools capable of handling terabytes of video/image data. \nProven track record building CI/CD pipelines that include automated model validation, performance benchmarking, and artifact management for both cloud and edge targets. \nExperience with model optimization toolchains, including TensorRT, ONNX, and quantization techniques, specifically for cross-compilation to ARM targets like NVIDIA Jetson. \nProficiency with observability stacks (ELK, Prometheus/Grafana) adapted for ML, including monitoring GPU health, training throughput, and model inference metrics. \nStrong Linux systems knowledge (Debian/Ubuntu), including networking for high-throughput data, storage, and security hardening for defense-grade production environments. \nWhat We Offer \nCompetitive salary\nHealth, Dental, Vision Insurance\nPaid Time Off \nAllen Control Systems is an Equal Opportunity Employer, providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment.
