About Arondite

Arondite is building the next generation of autonomous systems, software and AI to solve the world's most important frontier problems across defence, critical industries and the humanitarian sector. We are looking for mission-driven engineers who want to be part of a highly motivated team and build things that make a positive difference.

The Role

Arondite is looking for talented and flexible AI engineers to work on machine learning models for a range of autonomous systems, operating in the air, on the land and under the sea.

You will be developing models using open-source tools such as OpenCV and PyTorch for inclusion within fully integrated hardware/software products. You will be building algorithms to aid in areas such as navigation, image processing, sensor data processing and sensor fusion.

As a member of a company building integrated products, you will be able to influence the design and implementation of the data collection mechanisms, leading to more efficient models and faster training. You will also work closely with end users to rapidly understand and improve real-world model performance.

As an early hire within a start-up, you will have the opportunity to set up and drive AI development within the company. You will potentially lead the function and build a broader team as we continue to expand and build more diverse products. Regardless of previous experience, you will review the output of other engineers to check their work and provide feedback - everyone’s input is valued.

• Practical experience in developing machine learning models for sensor data processing
• Keen interest in applying cutting-edge machine learning approaches to real-world problems
• Interest in optimising data collection to improve machine learning performance
• Good understanding of resource optimisation of AI models to run on discrete / edge platforms

Note: The above describes the perfect candidate. We encourage you to apply even if you only partially fulfil this list.

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of MLOps in enabling machine learning to be deployed and maintained in end-user products
• Image and data processing for noise reduction / filtering
• Experience in visual representation of complex sensor data

All engineers at Arondite are expected to:

• Communicate effectively within a multi-disciplinary team of hardware, software and AI engineers
• Be resourceful and open-minded in seeking solutions to engineering challenges
• Teach themselves to be the expert, if we don’t already have one in a particular area
