Deep Learning Researcher — On-device AI
Picovoice
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Full Description
Picovoice is a profitable and growing Canadian AI startup building next-gen on-device voice AI technologies. We're pushing the boundaries of voice recognition, synthesis, and language modeling on edge devices, and our customers span the globe.
We're hiring experienced researchers who thrive on solving vague, high-impact problems. You'll join a small, elite team of scientists and engineers who move fast, think deeply, and care about results, not papers for papers' sake.
This is not a role for entry-level applicants. We're looking for individuals with a strong research track record, a bias for implementation, and the ability to drive ideas from theory to deployment independently.
What We're Looking For
• Deep understanding of modern neural architectures and training techniques
• Proven ability to do independent research — ideally with peer-reviewed publications
• Strong PyTorch & Python skills
• Excellent communication and scientific writing ability
Nice to Have
• Experience optimizing models for constrained environments (e.g., mobile, embedded, real-time)
• Familiarity with C, CUDA, or custom inference backends
• Domain expertise in ASR, TTS, speaker recognition, or NLU
• Publications in top ML/AI conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR)
The salary range for the role is $75,000 - $200,000 per year.
