• Hands-on programming with embedded systems (NVIDIA Jetson, Arduino)
• Practical knowledge of system-level programming, multi-threading, performance optimisation
• Familiarity with debugging live systems via system daemons/logs
• Willingness to go on-site for system testing and debugging

Good to Have

• Familiarity with NVIDIA JetPack SDK and GPU acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT)
• Experience with Docker or other containerisation technologies for consistent edge deployment
• Background in optimising ML model inference on edge devices
• Understanding of network programming for device-to-device or device-to-cloud communication

Perks & Benefits

• 25 days annual leave plus 8 public holidays
• Enhanced Pension Scheme: 5% matching
• Flexible Working: Hybrid model (2 days in the office per week)
• Wellness: Complimentary Unmind app, onsite gym (Basingstoke)
• Exclusive Perks: Access to sporting events and tickets, Sony Group Company discounts

C++ Edge & ML Engineer

Salary Banding: £50,000 – £65,000 per annum

Contract: Full-Time, Permanent

Team: R&D Squad (Hawkworks)

Working Location: Hybrid, 2 Days a week in the office, minimum

Office Locations: Basingstoke, Bristol, London

Join Our Team as a Software Engineer in our R&D Hawkworks squad at Hawk-Eye Innovations

We're looking for an experienced C++ software engineer with ML knowledge to initially help port, develop, and optimise machine learning applications for our ARM-based edge computing platform, primarily the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX.

The initial focus is on ensuring our existing ML models and C++ applications run efficiently and reliably in the ARM/Linux environment. Following this, the role will involve broad R&D work to advance our on-device ML capabilities, requiring a hands-on approach for on-site testing and system validation.

What You'll Be Doing

• Port and adapt existing x86 C++ applications and ML inference pipelines to run natively and efficiently on ARM64 architecture.
• Develop, maintain, and optimise C++ applications on NVIDIA Jetson devices to execute ML models and manage system resources.
• Collaborate with the ML and Research teams to integrate and optimise new models for the edge environment.
• Create robust, cross-platform code and establish best practices for targeting heterogeneous hardware (x86/ARM).
• Travel to test sites to conduct hands-on system validation, performance profiling, and real-world data collection.

What We're Looking For

• Professional C++ development in Linux environments.
• Understand the broader requirements for cross-platform porting, specifically from x86 to ARM architecture.
• Hands-on programming experience with embedded systems, such as NVIDIA Jetson, Arduino, or similar platforms.
• Practical knowledge of system-level programming, multi-threading, and performance optimisation.
• Familiarity with debugging live systems via system daemons/logs in addition to IDE.
• Enthusiasm and willingness to go on-site for system testing and debugging.

Bonus Points For

• Familiarity with NVIDIA JetPack SDK and GPU acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT).
• Experience with Docker or other containerisation technologies for consistent edge deployment.
• Background in optimising ML model inference on edge devices.
• Understanding of network programming for device-to-device or device-to-cloud communication.

Benefits & Perks

• Annual Leave: 25 days plus 8 public holidays
• Enhanced Pension Scheme: 5% matching
• Flexible Working: Hybrid model (2 days in the office per week)
