Role

Who you are

Ph.D. or Master's in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
2+ years leading and managing teams focused on developing real-world computer vision and perception systems using deep learning on edge devices
Proven ability to deploy these systems with:
Deep Learning Frameworks: Expertise in PyTorch or TensorFlow (one mandatory, familiarity with both a plus)
Computer Vision Libraries: OpenCV
Deployment Optimization Tools: TensorRT
Strong Python programming and software design with experience in Pandas
Experience deploying DL models to run on real-world, resource-constrained, systems with a pragmatic approach towards problem-solving
Demonstrated proficiency in data science and traditional machine learning (SVMs, Random Forests). Prior experience with automated machine learning pipelines is desirable
Proven industry track record with experience in:
Automated data annotation for computer vision
Training multi-task and semi-supervised deep learning models for video data
Familiarity with designing multi-modal deep learning models incorporating temporal context and geometrical constraints is a plus

What the job involves

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead the development and refinement of a cutting-edge perception system, leveraging deep learning for real-world applications
Your expertise in computer vision, deep learning, and team leadership will drive performance improvements and seamless integration across the company
Oversee the entire perception system development life cycle, from problem definition to deployment and ongoing improvement
Lead a team of computer vision and perception engineers to develop and refine the system in a hands-on manner
Spearhead the development of robust computer vision algorithms for object detection, tracking, semantic segmentation, and classification
Champion the development and training of deep learning models for complex urban scene perception and real-time analysis
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (cloud/device) for seamless integration and monitoring of perception models
Analyze data to identify performance bottlenecks and opportunities for enhancing the perception system
Foster automation in the improvement cycles of deep learning models used within the perception system
Communicate technical findings and insights effectively to stakeholders across the company to drive performance improvements
Utilize data visualization tools to present complex information clearly for informed decision-making

Our take

Cities around the world are dealing with clogged bus lanes, blocked stops, and traffic violations that slow down public transit and put people at risk. It's a huge problem, but one that remains difficult to monitor or mitigate effectively.

Hayden AI is tackling this problem with its smart, bus-mounted cameras powered by AI. They automatically detect when vehicles block bus lanes or stops, helping cities gather real-time data and take action to improve safety and traffic flow.

Already in use in cities like New York, LA, Barcelona and Braga, it's a transformative idea that can keep buses moving and riders safe. The company has raised considerable funding and is growing fast, and in 2026 received approval to begin serving local authorities across the UK.
