UnitX is a fast-moving startup with a team from Stanford, MIT, Google, and beyond. Since inception, UnitX has deployed 1,000+ mission-critical systems across 190+ of the world's leading manufacturers' production lines. Every year, $15B worth of products go through UnitX's AI inspection system to ensure quality.\nJoin us for the rare opportunity to work on computer-vision-driven products that go beyond the state of the art and that improve global manufacturing efficiency.\nWhat You'll Do:\nDevelop & Optimize Machine Learning Models: Design, train, and optimize deep learning models for defect detection and segmentation using high-resolution images and 3D sensor inputs. You will implement advanced computer vision techniques (including Stable Diffusion, Segment Anything Model (SAM), and transformer-based architectures) to ensure pixel-level precision and real-time inference.\n\nBuild Automated Pipelines: Develop and maintain automated pipelines for data preprocessing, augmentation, and model training to continuously optimize deployed solutions.\n\nDeploy & Maintain Production-Ready Software: Develop scalable ML pipelines for deployment on both edge devices and cloud-based systems. You will optimize model inference for real-time decision-making, ensuring processing times remain under 20 milliseconds.\n\nCollaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with software engineers, robotics specialists, and hardware teams to seamlessly integrate ML solutions into fully automated industrial workflows.\n\nMonitor & Ensure Reliability: Implement automated monitoring and alerting systems to track model drift, identify failures, and ensure 24/7 fault tolerance in a manufacturing environment.\n\nDevelop Evaluation & Interpretability Tools: Create frameworks to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, and efficiency. You will design visualization dashboards, conduct A/B testing, and leverage explainable AI (XAI) to improve transparency in quality assurance.\n\nDrive R&D & Cutting-Edge Solutions: Investigate emerging AI/CV techniques, including self-supervised learning, domain adaptation, and multimodal data fusion. You will develop novel architectures incorporating reinforcement learning and Generative AI, and contribute to academic publications, patents, and open-source projects.\n\nWho You Are:\nEducation: Bachelor's degree (or foreign equivalent) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related discipline.\n\nExperience: 3+ years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.\n\nTechnical Expertise: Must possess at least 3 years of hands-on experience in the following areas:\nDeep Learning & Neural Networks\n\nMachine Learning Pipeline Development\n\nSensor Fusion & Signal Processing\n\nComputer Vision & Real-Time Inference Optimization\n\nStatistical Modeling & A/B Testing\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nSalary Range: $174,304 - $200,000 per year. (Final compensation is based on experience).\n\nFull Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nDaily meals provided\n\nHow to apply\nPlease send your resume and a cover letter to  and ensure you include Ref#MM0426 in the subject line.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3276,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Computer Vision","Industrial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T02:26:32Z"}],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.344,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":90,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:7","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-29T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/unitxlabs-machine-learning-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/unitxlabs-machine-learning-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T02:52:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2095,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2905,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
