Principal Machine Learning Engineer

About Epirus

Epirus designs and builds cutting-edge, high-powered, high-efficiency microwave (HPM) systems that have the ability to transform industries. With a successful foothold in the defense industry, where our directed energy weapon systems surpass by orders of magnitude current capabilities, we’re also creating new possibilities for intelligently-driven power products in commercial markets. 

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to help us build functionality to augment the human-in-the-loop decision making capabilities so that our systems can effectively deal with the sharply rising complexity in future environments. The following are some of the key features of the role:  

• Develop and deploy machine learning models for a variety of applications in perception and behavioral understanding 
• Blend collected and synthesized data to create robust ML models 
• Develop data pathways to incorporate field observations into continuous ML improvement 
• Influence the development of simulation tools for improving ML model training 
• Draw up requirements for sensor and inference elements to maximize operational capabilities 
• Develop ML-augmented autonomous navigation 

Required Qualifications: 

• Graduate degree in an engineering discipline, computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, or other related field
• Fundamental knowledge of machine learning practice and theory, including model selection, development, optimization, and deployment
• Experience with one or more ML model development frameworks (TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn, PyTorch, Caffe)
• Experience with computer science concepts (algorithms, data structures, object-oriented programming, etc.)
• Demonstrated algorithmic prowess
• US Citizen or Permanent Resident (future security clearance may be required) 

Desired Qualifications: 

• PhD with an established R&D track record. 
• Experience in one or more elements of autonomous outdoor mobile robotics.  
• Delivered ML-based solutions
• Knowledge of cloud-based development environments and tools
• 5+ years professional experience
