Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).\nEchodyne is seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our fast-growing team. \nROLE OVERVIEW\nIn this role, you’ll develop machine learning capabilities for Echodyne radars and data systems. You’ll work with radar data to enhance our labeling process and improve how our systems detect, classify, and track targets in complex, changing environments.\nYou’ll own work from data exploration and model prototyping through evaluation and production deployment. You’ll make practical tradeoffs among accuracy, latency, computation, and reliability.\nYour work will have a direct impact on our advanced data systems and growing fleet of fielded radars, helping make them more robust and effective at protecting the infrastructure and people that rely on them in an evolving world.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nPrioritize and ensure real-world robustness and zero-regression deployment of models to our fleet of fielded radars.\nImprove the accuracy and capacity of our data labeling systems by developing active learning methods and automated labeling systems, and by advising on tool design.\nDesign data augmentation methods that reflect realistic variation in radar deployment environments.\nImprove existing track-classification models through hyper-parameter tuning and trading alternative architectures.\nResearch and develop new applications of machine learning to improve our systems, such as self-supervised generative models utilizing our extensive unlabeled data.\nBuild training and evaluation pipelines using field data, with particular attention to rare targets, imbalanced classes, and biased datasets.\nDefine evaluation metrics and assess how models perform across target classes and field conditions, with particular attention to rare, high-impact events.\nAnalyze model failures, data gaps, and changes in operating conditions to improve robustness.\nPartner with cross-functional teams to integrate models into production products.\nREQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE\nStrong foundations in machine learning, probability, statistics, and experimental design.\nExperience taking machine learning solutions from prototype through production deployment.\nExperience with time-series classification.\nExperience training and evaluating models on imbalanced datasets.\nExperience designing or assessing data augmentation for real-world sensor data.\nExperience evaluating model performance, investigating failure modes, and improving data or models based on findings.\nExperience deploying models on embedded, resource-constrained systems.\nStrong Python software development skills and experience with TensorFlow.\nAbility to independently lead an open-ended technical problem and communicate results clearly.\nDESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE (Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills) \nExperience with radar, lidar, or other spatial sensor data.\nExperience with real-time processing of streaming data.\nC++ experience and familiarity with production software development practices.\nExperience designing labeling workflows, managing large datasets, or using active learning to improve data quality.\nQUALIFICATIONS\nMS with 4 years or more or PhD with 2 years or more of relevant experience in computer science, engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field.\nU.S. citizenship. This role may require handling export-controlled (ITAR, EAR) data.\nEchodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S. \nWHAT WE OFFER\nThis is an exempt role.\nThe expected annual salary range for this role is\n$124,733—$187,048 USD\nIf your skills generally align but not perfectly, please apply anyway.
