Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security. The Role Mach Industries is building an AI-forward autonomy stack for contested environments where GPS and other sensing are unavailable or unreliable. As a Perception Engineer, you will design, train, and deploy state-of-the-art vision and multi-sensor perception systems that enable navigation, targeting, and automatic target recognition on our product lines. You’ll work across deep learning, computer vision, and embedded systems to bring research-grade algorithms to real-world deployments. Key Responsibilities Build and refine detection/segmentation/tracking architectures (CNN/Transformer) for EO/IR and multi-spectral imagery; drive foundation-scale datasets, training recipes, and robust generalization to long-tail and degraded conditions. Stand up training/eval pipelines (PR/ROC, mAP, latency, robustness suites); implement continuous regression testing and model-update loops from field data. Optimize models for real-time embedded inference (quantization/pruning, TensorRT/ONNX Runtime), profile CPU/GPU, and meet tight throughput/latency targets on Jetson-class hardware. Combine vision outputs with auxiliary sensing (e.g., radar/LiDAR/RF cues) for confirm/deny, association, and track management using decision-level fusion. Create visualization, triage,

We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security. The Role Mach Industries is building an AI-forward autonomy stack for contested environments where GPS and other sensing are unavailable or unreliable. As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will own and scale the training, data, and edge-inference backbone that every vision and multi-sensor model on our product lines depends on for detection, tracking, search, navigation, targeting, and automatic target recognition. This is a broad, high-ownership role: you'll stand up the data and training infrastructure that lets the autonomy team iterate fast, generate synthetic data to cover the long tail, and get research-grade models running in real time on embedded hardware in flight. We are generalists, so you'll move fluidly between infrastructure, modeling, and deployment. Key Responsibilities Own and evolve the training and data infrastructure the autonomy team builds on: ingestion from flight/sim/HITL, curation and mining, labeling/QA workflows, dataset versioning (DVC/Parquet), and reproducible dataset builds. Stand up and scale training/eval infrastructure: distributed multi-GPU training, experiment tracking, a model registry, and CI-based evaluation with regression gates plus automated field-data to retrain to validate to redeploy loops.
