## About the role

Seasats' vehicles operate in highly remote and often communications-limited environments. To complete persistent missions at scale, the vehicles must be able to perceive and reason about the world around them without humans in the loop. Seasats has built a reliable and increasingly intelligent autonomy stack incorporating onboard sensors and processing, and machine learning is becoming central to how it evolves.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in machine learning, including 5+ years solving perception problems in production systems
- Deep computer vision background, including foundation models and training smaller custom models
- Track record of shipping performant ML models to edge devices and hands-on experience with model optimization for the edge (quantization, pruning, and inference runtimes such as TensorRT or ONNX Runtime)
- Strong proficiency in Python, with expert-level fluency in PyTorch and strong working knowledge of OpenCV
- Experience with MLOps tooling for dataset versioning, experiment tracking, and model deployment
- Experience working with real-time sensor data (e.g., camera, radar, and IMU streams) and familiarity with classical perception techniques (e.g., filtering, tracking, sensor fusion
