About Plix

Frontline safety made smarter with AI body cameras - record, review, and respond with confidence. Backed by a16z.

About the role

We’re looking for an engineering intern to help build a next-generation battery-powered rapid response camera, leveraging our existing body camera prototype. This role is ideal for someone with experience working on embedded Android systems and a deep understanding of optimizing computer vision applications for constrained environments (like battery and thermal limits). You’ll be working closely with the founding team to design and deploy a field-ready product. Start date is flexible.

What they're looking for

  • Build and iterate on embedded Android software for a battery-operated body camera system
  • Optimize vision models and pipeline runtime performance to extend battery life
  • Profile and manage power consumption across compute, sensor, and wireless subsystems
  • Integrate computer vision models for motion detection, real-time alerting, or object recognition
  • Debug and improve system stability, telemetry, and update processes for edge devices
  • Collaborate with the founding team to define hardware/software tradeoffs and product direction
