Location: Remote/Flexible

Job Type: Full-Time (Startup)

Company: The SpaceLead' Client/Partner

About Us:

The SpaceLead is partnering with a stealth-mode startup pushing the boundaries of aerospace and AI technologies. We are searching for an experienced (Lead) AI/ML Engineer to join this innovative venture. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the development of cutting-edge AI/ML systems for space-based platforms, directly contributing to real-time decision-making in extreme environments.

Role Overview:

The (Lead) AI/ML Engineer will spearhead the development of high-performance AI/ML algorithms for edge computing systems, optimizing sensor data processing and enabling real-time decision-making in aerospace applications. You will design, train, and deploy AI models that fuse multimodal data from Lidar, radar, and other sensors to drive autonomous operations in orbit.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the development of AI/ML models for real-time sensor data fusion, perception, and decision-making.
Optimize AI models for edge devices with power and performance constraints in space environments.
Design and implement AI/ML algorithms to handle data from Lidar, radar, RGB, and other sensor sources.
Collaborate with hardware and systems engineering teams to integrate AI solutions into payload and satellite platforms.
Oversee the training, validation, and deployment of AI models on edge AI hardware for space missions.
Ensure high levels of robustness, accuracy, and safety for AI-driven autonomous decision-making.

Qualifications:

Required:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of experience in AI/ML, with a focus on edge AI, real-time decision-making, or autonomous systems.
Strong experience in training and deploying AI models for real-time sensor data processing (e.g., Lidar, radar, imagery).
Proven ability to optimize AI models for low-power, resource-constrained environments.
Expertise in Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and AI model optimization techniques.

Preferred:

Experience working with space-qualified systems or in aerospace industries.
Familiarity with AI for perception in multidimensional, sensor-rich environments (e.g., Lidar, radar, RGB).
Experience in startup environments or government-sponsored space missions.

What We Offer:

Opportunity to lead AI innovation within a stealth-mode, deep tech company.
Competitive equity compensation with significant growth potential.
Remote work flexibility with a collaborative, expert-driven team working on high-impact space technologies.
