About Matroid

With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, more and more expert knowledge is required to use cutting-edge AI techniques to solve real-world problems. At Matroid, we’re building an intuitive product that allows anyone to train and deploy computer vision (CV) models without knowing how to write a line of code.

Founded in 2016 by a Stanford professor, Matroid has raised $33.5 million from NEA, Energize Ventures, and Intel Capital, and has a broad range of customers and partners in manufacturing, aerospace, transportation, security, safety, and compliance.

We’re looking for a Deep Learning Field Engineer to operate at the forefront of CV deployment in industry - building best-in-class CV systems that leverage deep learning techniques to solve a broad range of challenging use cases, such as quality inspection, assembly verification, process optimization, safety, and compliance.

You’ll be working at our new office in downtown Palo Alto, just a five-minute walk from the Caltrain station.

What you’ll be doing

• Train state-of-the-art CV models across a broad range of domains, such as object detection, anomaly detection, panoptic segmentation, action recognition, and tracking.
• Deploy end-to-end CV systems across a range of environments (cloud, edge, hybrid).
• Integrate Matroid into inspection workflows and third-party systems, such as manufacturing execution systems, safety alert systems, and video management systems.
• Perform quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the CV system and iterate on it to meet performance requirements.
• Act as the technical expert, advising on all matters from technical scoping of engagements, to model training and deployment.
• Empower customers with CV by designing and leading product training sessions.

How you’ll be doing it

• You will be a computer vision guru - intelligently and efficiently translating business problems into performant computer vision solutions.
• You will be a product expert - selecting the best features to solve the task at hand.
• You will be a customer advocate - understanding their intimate requirements and relaying feedback to the broader Matroid team to drive customer-centric development.
• You will operate in a collaborative but highly autonomous environment that isn’t bogged down by unnecessary meetings or project management.
• You will learn a lot along the way, diving into new technologies and the world of CV both on your own and during frequent company tech talks.

What you bring to the table

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or another technical field.
• Experience training and deploying state-of-the-art CV models using popular machine learning frameworks, such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
• Strong software engineering skills.
• Solid oral, written, presentation, collaboration, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Adept at communicating to both technical and commercial audiences.
• Willingness and eligibility for security clearance up to TS/SCI.

Bonus points if...

• Graduate degree with a concentration in CV, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or related fields.
• Previous work experience in field engineering, professional services, consulting, or another customer-facing field.
• Experience with high-growth technology startups.

What we offer in return

• Competitive pay and equity.
• The chance to constantly work on stimulating intellectual challenges.
• Gym membership reimbursement.
• Free lunch, healthy drinks, and snacks every day.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with 100% paid premiums.
• A flexible schedule that leaves time for all of your other interests.
• A budget for whatever hardware or software will make you most effective.
• Resources to learn about the cutting edge of software engineering and CV.
• You’ll be working at our new office in downtown Palo Alto, just a five-minute walk from the Caltrain station.
