Prototype in Python or MATLAB, and implement high-performance solutions in C++ on Linux
Accelerate algorithm performance using CUDA/GPU programming
Collaborate with systems, software, and hardware teams to translate complex requirements into scalable solutions
Lead technical discussions, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to long-term algorithm strategy

What You Bring:
5+ years of hands-on experience in image processing, computer vision, or machine learning in a production environment
Deep expertise in spectral/spatial filtering, model-based methods, and inverse problem solving
Strong proficiency in C++, with experience developing on Linux platforms
Proven ability to prototype and validate algorithms in Python or MATLAB
Familiarity with CUDA, TensorFlow, or other GPU-accelerated frameworks is a strong plus
Experience architecting algorithms from the ground up and solving real-world vision challenges at scale

Why Join Us?
Work on mission-critical technology that powers the semiconductor industry
Be part of a high-caliber team where your expertise drives innovation
Enjoy a hybrid work model with 3 days in the office and flexibility built in
Grow your impact through technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous learning
