## About the role

Joining DS means owning major parts of a fast-growing AI research organization, joining a collaborative, talent-dense team with decades of experience in probabilistic ML, accelerated computing, embedded systems, and signal theory, and growing your career in the areas that interest you. You’ll fit in if you want to come to work for the problem itself and don’t want to choose between technical rigor, business value, and real-world impact.

## What they're looking for

- Experience integrating hardware and software systems, ideally in embedded or sensor-heavy contexts. You understand what happens between the hardware driver and the application, and you have debugged problems at that boundary
- Comfort with Linux system administration and networking. Our sensors run Linux. Our test infrastructure runs on Linux. You need to be able to configure, debug, and operate these systems without hand-holding
- Ability to write test automation and basic tooling using Python. We are not looking for a software engineer, but we do need someone who can write a test script, analyze a log file, and build tooling to make repetitive work faster
- Physical and logistical competence in the field. You need to be comfortable working outdoors, in variable conditions, carrying and installing equipment, and solving problems without access to a lab bench
- Willingness to travel. Some excursions are day trips to New York Harbor, or NYC-area test sites. Others are multi-day trips to test sites or customer locations
- Clear written communication. Field reports and test results need to be readable by people who were not there
