Embedded Systems Engineer, On-Device Inference
Memphis·Full-time·Engineering
You will bring the addressee-detection model on-device, building efficient inference for regulated and OEM hardware where a GPU is not an option. This is the work that lets our models run where the audio actually happens.
Apply
What you will do
Take our models from the server to the device, running efficiently on constrained CPUs.
Optimize inference with tools like ONNX, quantization, and careful profiling, without a GPU to lean on.
Work close to the metal on audio pipelines, memory, and latency budgets.
Partner with research and OEM customers to fit the model to real hardware and real constraints.
Build the tooling and tests that keep on-device behavior honest across devices.
What we are looking for
Strong systems and embedded experience: C or C++, plus comfort in Python for tooling.
A track record of making models or signal code run fast on constrained hardware.
Familiarity with inference runtimes, quantization, and profiling for CPU targets.
Care for correctness and reliability in environments you cannot easily update.
Comfort owning a hard, specific problem end to end.
Bonus: experience with audio DSP, real time constraints, or shipping software into physical devices.
About attention labs
attention labs is early: a small team defining a new category at the intersection of speech, cognitive neuroscience, and machine learning. We work from San Francisco, Toronto, and Memphis, and we are remote-friendly for the right person.
