• Convert and optimize models using TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, QNN, quantization, pruning, and other optimization toolchains.
• Implement high-performance C++ (14/17/20) modules for embedded CV applications.

1. System Design & Architecture

• Architect scalable, modular CV systems using OOAD, SOLID principles, design patterns, and UML.
• Define dataflows, pipeline architecture, back-end selection (CPU/GPU/NPU), and integration strategies.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and product teams to ensure real-time performance and reliability.

1. Leadership & Mentoring

• Guide junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, architecture discussions, and best engineering practices.
• Take technical ownership of feature modules, delivery quality, and timeline alignment.
• Drive innovation within the team by evaluating new research papers, frameworks, and vision techniques.

1. Deployment & MLOps

• Build production-ready inference modules, CI/CD pipelines, and testing frameworks for Vision AI models.
• Evaluate KPIs, benchmark performance, and iterate to meet product SLAs.
• Support deployment for global clients and collaborate with offshore/onshore teams.
