• Strong background in image/signal processing, estimation/inference, or machine learning
• Strong engineering math background (e.g. applied linear algebra, probability)
• Strong programming skills in high level languages like Python/Matlab

Preferred Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Math or Physics
• Multi-disciplinary understanding of EE and Physics principles
• Experience with analyzing large datasets and developing data processing pipelines
• Experience with algorithm optimization for HW constraints (e.g. compute, memory, power)
• Experience with establishing quantitative algorithm performance benchmarks
• Experience with ML frameworks and data processing packages (eg PyTorch, SciPy, pandas)
• Experience in modeling complex cross-disciplinary systems
• Experience in system-level design of imaging or sensing systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
