About the role

Deepnight is creating the best low light camera in the world by embedding an AI model into it. Our model processes the camera’s extremely limited signal with an edge AI chip, and can handle light levels as dark as overcast moonless starlight (0.1 millilux), which is as dark as it can possibly be while on the exposed surface of the earth. The camera is one cubic inch, and we have optimized our model for mobile constraints - working at 90 FPS and consuming only 1 watt. We are making all robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and head-mounted displays able to perform in total darkness.

Deepnight is looking for a computer vision & deep learning engineer to advance the state of the art in low-light imaging. You will design novel neural architectures, train models, and deploy real-time inference on embedded hardware.

Qualifications

  • Proficiency with PyTorch.
  • Master’s degree in computer science or 2 years of work experience.
  • Strong background in computer vision.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in training and deploying quantized neural networks.
  • Experience in one or more of the following on-device AI tools: QNN, AIMET, TensorRT, SNPE.
  • Experience in neural network compression techniques: neural architecture search, knowledge distillation, pruning.
  • Experience in low level vision (denoising, super-resolution, frame interpolation).
  • Understanding of CMOS imaging (rolling vs. global shutter, read noise, dynamic range, demosaicing, dynamic range, etc.).
  • Relevant research publications.

About Deepnight

  • Founded in Y-Combinator startup accelerator in January 2024.
  • Series A, raised $14M venture funding to date.
  • $2M yearly revenue. Several partnerships including with Anduril, US Army & Air Force, MIT
  • 11 person highly technical team, growing fast.

About Deepnight

DeepNight is building night vision with AI software. We are pushing the state of the art of computational imaging to build a new generation of night vision goggles that see in the dark using AI. We conduct novel research in computational photography, novel efficient neural architectures, and model compression techniques to build extremely efficient AI on the edge.
