AI/ML Researcher

Latent AI is hiring an AI/ML Researcher to build and deploy production-grade machine learning systems for physical AI on edge hardware. The role focuses on preparing real-world data, selecting and optimizing models for inference, collaborating on field-deployable customer solutions, and mentoring teammates.

Responsibilities:

• Turn real-world data into something a model can actually learn from, then decide what model approach fits: a classical classifier when it wins on cost and latency, a fine-tuned LLM/VLM when the tradeoff is worth it
• Improve our physical AI inference pipeline — balancing performance, latency, and accuracy deliberately
• Partner with team to engage with customer to build solutions that are deployable in the field
• Mentor teammates and raise the ML bar across the company as Latent AI's ML capability matures
