Job description

Job Title: Machine Learning Engineer About Us: UnitX builds the world's leading physical AI systems to automate repetitive visual tasks in factories. UnitX is a fast-moving startup with a team from Stanford, MIT, Google, and beyond. Since inception, UnitX has deployed 1,000+ mission-critical systems across 190+ of the world's leading manufacturers' production lines.

Every year, $15B worth of products go through UnitX's AI inspection system to ensure quality. Join us for the rare opportunity to work on computer-vision-driven products that go beyond the state of the art and that improve global manufacturing efficiency.

What You'll Do

  • Develop & Optimize Machine Learning Models: Design, train, and optimize deep learning models for defect detection and segmentation using high-resolution images and 3D sensor inputs. You will implement advanced computer vision techniques (including Stable Diffusion, Segment Anything Model (SAM), and transformer-based architectures) to ensure pixel-level precision and real-time inference.
  • Build Automated Pipelines: Develop and maintain automated pipelines for data preprocessing, augmentation, and model training to continuously optimize deployed solutions.
  • Deploy & Maintain Production-Ready Software: Develop scalable ML pipelines for deployment on both edge devices and cloud-based systems. You will optimize model inference for real-time decision-making, ensuring processing times remain under 20 milliseconds.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with software engineers, robotics specialists, and hardware teams to seamlessly integrate ML solutions into fully automated industrial workflows.
  • Monitor & Ensure Reliability: Implement automated monitoring and alerting systems to track model drift, identify failures, and ensure 24/7 fault tolerance in a manufacturing environment.
  • Develop Evaluation & Interpretability Tools: Create frameworks to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, and efficiency. You will design visualization dashboards, conduct A/B testing, and leverage explainable AI (XAI) to improve transparency in quality assurance.
  • Drive R&D & Cutting-Edge Solutions: Investigate emerging AI/CV techniques, including self-supervised learning, domain adaptation, and multimodal data fusion. You will develop novel architectures incorporating reinforcement learning and Generative AI, and contribute to academic publications, patents, and open-source projects.

Who You Are

  • Education: Bachelor's degree (or foreign equivalent) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related discipline.
  • Experience: 3+ years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.
  • Technical Expertise: Must possess at least 3 years of hands-on experience in the following areas:
  • Deep Learning & Neural Networks
  • Machine Learning Pipeline Development
  • Sensor Fusion & Signal Processing
  • Computer Vision & Real-Time Inference Optimization
  • Statistical Modeling & A/B Testing Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary Range: $174,304 – $200,000 per year. (Final compensation is based on experience).
  • Full Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Daily meals provided HOW TO APPLY Please send your resume and a cover letter to james@unitxlabs.com and ensure you include Ref#MM0426 in the subject line.
