Required Skills

• Deep expertise in modern C++ (14/17) and system architecture at scale
• Experience designing real-time, latency-critical systems
• Hands-on experience integrating ML/AI inference (ONNX Runtime, TensorRT or equivalent)
• Strong Linux/embedded systems background
• Excellent stakeholder communication, including with defence-industry and government stakeholder

Good to Have

• Experience with sensor fusion in defence or aerospace systems
• Familiarity with Random Forest/classical ML alongside deep learning classifiers

Qualifications

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science, Electronics, or related field
• 8-12 years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in an architecture/technical leadership role
• Defence-tech or safety-critical systems experience strongly preferred
