    About Us:
    Xwing is a cutting-edge aerospace technology company focused on revolutionizing the future of aviation.

    Backed by industry veterans and top-tier investors, our mission is to build a safer, more efficient, and more accessible air transportation system powered by autonomous flight.

    By combining artificial intelligence, proprietary software, and hardware solutions, Xwing is bringing uncrewed aircraft to commercial aviation.

    We are computer scientists, roboticists, and aerospace experts who are at the forefront of the transformation of the aviation industry.

    Founded in 2016, Xwing is based in Northern California with offices in San Francisco and in Concord, CA.

    In 2021, Xwing completed the world's first fully autonomous cargo flight with a remote crew supervising the flight from the ground.

    Using onboard aircraft sensors (cameras, lidar, IR cameras, inertial sensors, etc.), our Xwing Perception Team develops safety-certifiable robotics, computer vision, and machine learning solutions to enable safe autonomous flight such as: runway and taxiway detection, ground obstacle detection, vision-based navigation and mapping, and tracking.

    As part of the team, you will implement robust perception solutions, train models, and deploy them as low-latency and efficient algorithms onto our airborne autonomy system.

    You will play a crucial role translating perception research into practical applications while thriving in a collaborative and dynamic environment.

    If you are passionate about innovation in autonomous vehicles, this role is for you

    Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
    Develop and evaluate robotics perception algorithms including deep learning, machine learning, computer vision, and so forth, on our unique autonomous flight datasets (camera, lidar)
    Set up and maintain scalable dataset, metrics evaluation, and visualization pipelines for your perception algorithms
    Investigate and implement algorithm improvements to exceed safety metrics requirements
    Rigorously optimize, deploy, and benchmark the algorithms on a variety of compute hardware such as CPU, GPU, and possibly FPGA


    This may include:
    Optimize machine learning models for parallel processing (GPUs, hardware accelerators)
    Integrate machine learning models with inference engines and runtime libraries that are optimized for specific hardware platforms (e.g. Apache TVM, ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, TensorFlow Serving)

    Write and optimize GPU-specific code, often using libraries such as OpenCL, CUDA (for NVIDIA GPUs), or ROCm (for AMD GPUs) to accelerate model inference.

    Investigate and apply techniques for model compression and quantization to reduce memory and compute requirements while maintaining model performance.

    Implement unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests for perception components
    Contribute intuitive, readable, scalable, and modular code to the team repositories
    Create and maintain documentation for the key perception components you own
    Work closely with other teams (systems, software, navigation, flight test, etc.) to ensure seamless integration of perception algorithms into testing and production environments
    Contribute to critical team tooling, processes and best practices

    Required Qualifications:
    2+ years of experience in autonomous vehicles with robotics perception, machine learning, computer vision, lidar processing or other related field
    Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field

    Deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch)
    Computer vision libraries (e.g., OpenCV)
    Lidar processing (e.g., PCL, open3d)
    Middleware (e.g., ROS, protobuf)

    Knowledge of algorithm performance profiling and optimization techniques
    Excellent communication and collaboration skills
    Demonstrated ability to contribute timely deliverables in a fast-paced, agile development environment

    Desirable Qualifications:
    5+ years of experience in autonomous vehicles with robotics perception, machine learning, computer vision, lidar processing or other related field
    PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field
    Familiarity with GPU or FPGA acceleration for machine learning
    Familiarity with model compilation techniques such as model quantization, pruning, and kernel optimization
    Experience with containerization and deployment technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
    Experience with edge computing and deploying models on resource-constrained devices
    Experience developing software running under an RTOS or hypervisor on resource-constrained hardware architectures
    Experience with cloud-based ML services (e.g. AWS, GCP)
    Experience setting up DevOps/MLOps pipelines
