What are the responsibilities and job description for the Embedded Software Integration & Optimization Engineer position at Amaris Consulting?
We are looking for a hands-on Embedded Software Engineer with proven experience integrating and optimizing multiple AI applications on NVIDIA edge platforms for deployment in industrial machine environments. You will work at the intersection of real-time embedded systems and AI inference — tackling technically demanding problems under strict performance and safety constraints — helping bring intelligent perception capabilities to production-grade hardware. This is a high-impact role within a collaborative engineering team where your contributions directly shape the behavior of intelligent machines in the field.
Location
This position is based in Peoria, Illinois (on-site). Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
Responsibilities
- Integrate and co-optimize multiple applications running concurrently on NVIDIA Thor IGX and Orin NX platforms
- Implement and tune object detection, personnel classification, and segmentation algorithms for edge deployment
- Port and adapt AI/ML inference workloads to NVIDIA hardware using TensorRT, CUDA, and related toolchains
- Collaborate with safety and perception teams to validate detection performance on target hardware
- Support system-level testing, benchmarking, and performance profiling
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and validation cycles for embedded AI software
Required Qualifications
- 5 years of experience in embedded software development with a focus on AI/ML inference on edge hardware
- Direct, hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson, Orin NX, and/or Thor IGX platforms
- Proficiency with TensorRT, DeepStream, CUDA, and the broader NVIDIA SDK toolchain
- Demonstrated experience running and optimizing multiple concurrent applications on a single compute platform
- Strong background in computer vision, including object detection, segmentation, and classification
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, resource-constrained programs with aggressive delivery milestones
What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience deploying AI workloads in industrial or safety-critical environments
- Familiarity with perception pipeline architecture and sensor fusion
- Knowledge of embedded Linux, real-time operating constraints, and hardware bring-up
- Exposure to model quantization, pruning, or other inference optimization techniques
Why choose us
- An international community bringing together more than 110 different nationalities
- An environment where trust is central: 70% of our leaders started their careers at the entry level
- A strong training system with our internal Academy and more than 250 modules available
- A dynamic work environment that frequently comes together for internal events (afterworks, team buildings, etc.)
