Overview :

At Zebra, we are a community of innovators who come together to create new ways of working. United by curiosity and a culture of caring, we develop smart solutions that anticipate our customer's and partner's needs and solve their challenges.

What We're Looking For :

Lead and manage a high-performing engineering team focused on architecting, optimizing, and deploying computer vision (CV) and edge AI algorithms for Zebra's AI offerings and AI Data Capture ecosystem. In this role, you will bridge cutting-edge deep learning research with robust embedded/edge software engineering.

Key Responsibilities :

- Drive Vision & AI Architecture : Lead the technical direction for state-of-the-art computer vision and deep learning models targeting edge inference.

- Algorithm & Pipeline Optimization : Oversee the end-to-end model pipeline - from data curation and synthetic data generation to training, pruning, quantization (INT8/FP16), and deployment using runtimes such as ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, and vendor-specific NPUs/DSPs.

- Performance Benchmarking : Establish rigorous performance benchmarking standards (latency, memory footprint, thermal impact, and accuracy metrics) across diverse device form factors.

- Team Management : Manage a multidisciplinary team of CV algorithm researchers, AI/ML engineers, and edge software developers.

- Technical Excellence : Promote best practices in modern C++, Python, ML lifecycle (MLOps), CI/CD test automation, and reproducible research.

Requirements :

- 8+ years of total experience in Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Software Development.

- Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, or a related quantitative field.

- Proven ability to manage multi-site, globally distributed engineering teams and external vendor/contractor resources.

- Strong executive communication skills.

Benefits : We offer hybrid work, adaptable hours, Summer Flex Fridays, Focus Fridays, and an annual companywide well-being day.
