Senior MLOps Engineer - Edge

Your Role

We're hiring a Senior MLOps Engineer for our Hardware Group to build and scale the machine learning infrastructure that powers Focus, our line of smart cameras. You'll own the edge deployment pipelines that transport neural networks from training clusters to tens of thousands of devices globally, and contribute to the platform that compiles trained models into optimised inference engines for devices like the Jetson Orin, building the "nervous system" for the next generation of automated sports capture.

As a Senior MLOps Engineer, you'll:

• Build scalable Edge infrastructure. You'll design, develop, and maintain the delivery systems that enable us to deploy models to fleets of devices.
• Own the model compilation platform. You'll build and maintain the pipeline that takes trained models and produces optimised, hardware-specific inference engines — managing TensorRT compilation, precision trade-offs (FP16/INT8), calibration, and engine validation to ensure models run reliably and efficiently on target devices.
• Work with cross-functional teams. You'll collaborate with Data Scientists, Embedded Engineers, and Product Managers to ensure smooth integration of complex features and capabilities
• Drive automation and reliability. You'll implement infrastructure to silently test candidate models on production devices and build telemetry pipelines to monitor drift, thermal impact, and inference latency in the wild.
• Solve complex physical challenges. You'll tackle the unique constraints of the edge - building resilient update mechanisms for low-bandwidth environments, optimising for limited storage, and ensuring devices recover gracefully from network failures.
• Mentor and lead. You'll share your expertise to establish best practices in Python tooling, Infrastructure-as-Code, and CI/CD, guiding the team toward a more robust, automated future.

Must-Haves

• Production MLOps expertise. You've played a key role in building and operating pipelines that deploy models to production, with deep experience in CI/CD, containerization (Docker), and Linux systems.
• Edge inference & compilation know-how. You have hands-on experience compiling and optimising models for embedded hardware - ideally with TensorRT - and understand the practical implications of precision, quantisation, and engine validation at scale.
• Collaborative. You understand that shipping to hardware is a team sport and can communicate effectively with r
