[Remote] Founding ML and Evaluation Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Qluu Lab builds Foresight, a prediction model for the motion and behavior of tracked objects. The Founding ML and Evaluation Engineer will independently evaluate and improve the model, establish reproducible benchmarks, run training and ablation studies, deploy models to edge hardware, and lead human-review protocols.

Responsibilities

• Build the independent evaluation harness. Separate data loading, transforms and metrics from the training code. Pre-register pass/fail gates before looking at test data
• Measure the deployed selector against strong baselines (constant velocity, Kalman, interacting multiple models) with scenario-clustered confidence intervals. Publish where Foresight wins and where it loses, per domain
• Train and ablate. Run noise-robustness and selector experiments on GPUs we already have, with clean provenance for every checkpoint (config, data hashes, splits, seeds)
• Take the model to the edge. ONNX export, quantization parity tests, and measured latency and memory on a Raspberry Pi 5 and an Nvidia Jetson. Measured, not estimated
• Own the human-review protocol: blinded review samples, reviewer agreement, written failure cases

Skills

• Have trained sequence or trajectory models in PyTorch (motion forecasting, time series, tracking, or similar)
• Know your statistics: grouped splits, leakage, bootstrap confidence intervals, multiple-comparison control
• Write reproducible code: pinned environments, hashed data, deterministic seeds where it matters
• U.S. person required. You must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual
• Kalman/IMM tracking, state-space or Mamba-style models, ONNX/TensorRT/ONNX Runtime, mixed-precision training, defense or simulation data (DIS/HLA), prior work with export-controlled data
• Ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance

Benefits

• Remote-first work arrangement
• Early equity
• Real authority over what the company is allowed to claim
• Direct line to the technical decisions
