AI Engineer

Tascent’s engineering team is creating a new generation of low-power embedded biometric recognition hardware products. Currently, Tascent has openings for individuals adept in computer vision to develop a variety of algorithms designed to operate on low-power processing hardware. In addition, the role will also involve development and evaluation of uncompressed, higher-performing algorithms designed for embedded x86, ARM, and mobile platforms and non-embedded cloud platforms. The AI Engineer will report to our Lead AI Engineer, and will work closely with our product development team.

Key responsibilites

• Work with the Tascent Engineering team to develop biometric detection, recognition, presentation attack detection, and other related algorithms on low-power devices.
• Write requirements for validation and training datasets to minimize demographic, race-specific, and other biases.
• Work with data engineers to characterize model outliers, generate performance status reports, and develop solutions to challenging AI problems.
• Comply with the ethical and legal handling of PII, including consent management within relevant datasets.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s degree (min) or ideally a MSc or PhD in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or other technical degrees with an emphasis in ML/AI (or equivalent experience).
• 2+ years developing vision-based AI models in a product development environment.
• Familiarity with sources of bias in data collection and AI model development.
• Demonstrated understanding of AI model compression techniques, and ideally hands-on experience preparing models for more than one AI accelerator hardware offering.
• Applied understanding of GANs.
• Knowledge of python + keras/tensorflow (alternatively pytorch or MATLAB/R).
• Experience with models targeted for edge devices / CPU.
• Experience with any MLOps platform (i.e. weights and biases).
• General knowledge of best practices pertaining to product-level software development.
