Department Overview

Role Summary: We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on AI Engineer to build, deploy, and optimize enterprise-grade Artificial Intelligence solutions. This role also requires a commercially minded AI specialist to discover, validate, and integrate enterprise-grade Artificial Intelligence technologies.  This role is pivotal in developing AI features for our customer-facing products (Cloud platforms and push-to-talk ecosystems) and automating our internal technical operations. The ideal candidate is a strong software engineer with deep expertise in machine learning, capable of discovering and taking models from proof-of-concept to production while ensuring low latency, high reliability, and efficient compute utilization at both the edge and the cloud.

Core Responsibilities

1. AI Model Development & Implementation

• Build & Deploy: Develop, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models (e.g., robust audio processing, NLP, and GenAI) into production environments.
• Audio & Speech AI: Implement advanced audio features using edge-to-cloud ML models. Focus on coding real-time noise suppression, acoustic anomaly detection, and speech-to-text (ASR) pipelines optimized for high-noise environments.
• Dispatch Intelligence: Develop the backend logic and prompt engineering for cloud dispatch features, including automated radio chatter summarization and intelligent keyword alerting.

2. Architecture & Edge-to-Cloud Integration

• Edge Optimization: Optimize models for deployment on resource-constrained, ruggedized Push-to-Talk (PTT) devices. Utilize frameworks like ONNX, TensorRT, or TensorFlow Lite to balance latency, battery life, and accuracy.
• Cloud AI Services: Integrate and manage AI workloads across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), writing scalable APIs and microservices to support AI features.
• RAG System Development: Build and maintain secure, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to power internal knowledge assistants for IT admins and support dispatchers.

3. MLOps & Operational Reliability

• Pipeline Automation: Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for machine learning models. Automate model training, testing, and deployment processes.
• Telemetry & Monitoring: Implement robust monitoring solutions to track model performance, data drift, and latency in real-time, proactively mitigating degradation in zero-fault tolerance communication environments.
• Internal Tooling: Leverage AI APIs to build internal scripts and tools that assist with code reviews, automated QA test generation, and predictive cloud infrastructure maintenance.

Basic Requirements

Experience & Mindset

• Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience as an Machine Learning Engineer, AI Developer, or Software Engineer with a strong focus on applied AI, ideally within telecommunications, UCaaS, or cloud SaaS.
• Engineering Excellence: Deep commitment to writing clean, scalable, and maintainable production code. Experience deploying software in high-availability, mission-critical environments.
• Problem Solver: Ability to take a high-level strategic requirement and translate it into a concrete, functioning software solution.

Technical Competencies

• Programming Languages: Expert-level proficiency in Python. Strong working knowledge of C++ (highly preferred for edge deployment and audio processing).
• AI/ML Frameworks: Deep experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX. Familiarity with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face).
• Audio/Voice ML: Practical experience implementing DSP (Digital Signal Processing) concepts, speech recognition (ASR), and audio-based neural networks.
• Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud ML services (e.g., AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, Vertex AI).
• Edge AI: Proven ability to quantize, prune, and optimize models for mobile or edge hardware deployments.
