Senior Imaging Software Engineer (On-Site)

At Axon, we're on a mission to Protect Life. We're explorers, pursuing society's most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other. Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you'll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Are you interested in developing cutting-edge camera products? We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our team and develop technology with high impact. Your expertise in software and embedded systems is paramount, and we highly value a proven track record in machine learning, particularly hands-on experience in integrating and deploying real-time ML models to production. As a member of our team, you will collaborate across disciplines and technologies, balancing deep technical work with driving projects to completion. For those who excel in embedded software and are eager to enhance their skillset in machine learning deployment and integration, this role offers a fulfilling and dynamic experience. Experience in camera software or image processing is considered a benefit but is not required.

What You'll Do:

• Collaborate closely with software, AI and product development teams, focusing on embedding machine learning models into our products. You will ensure these models operate efficiently within the constraints of resources.
• Work hands-on with hardware, exploring new technologies, creating prototypes, and developing proof-of-concepts. You'll take the lead in finding solutions to hard problems, particularly those involving ML model integration.
• Set a high technical bar for the team through code and architecture design reviews.
• Improve our Engineering process, including long-term thinking and planning.
• Building software that adheres to our high bar on stability and latency in this mission-critical space.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years experience of professional software development in C/C++, Go, Rust, or other systems programming languages, with a strong focus on embedded systems.
• Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, Apache TVM) and experience optimizing models for performance and efficiency in embedded systems. Including experience in integrating and deploying models in resource-constrained environments.
• 5+ years of experience writing unit, integration, and/or system-level tests, ensuring high code quality and reliability.
• 2+ years of experience mentoring junior team members or leading small teams, with a focus on fostering technical growth and collaboration.
• Understanding of Computer Science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, runtime analysis, and code quality verification.
• Experience with Embedded Linux development. Familiarity with the Yocto Project is advantageous.
• Experience in camera technology, image processing, photography, robotics and computer vision is considered beneficial but not required.

Don't meet every single requirement? That's ok. At Axon, we Aim Far. We think big with a long-term view because we want to reinvent the world to be a safer, better place. We are also committed to building diverse teams that reflect the communities we serve.

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they check every box in the job description. If you're excited about this role and our mission to Protect Life but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification listed here, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
