COMPANY NAME: Hayden AI Technologies, Inc.
POSITION TITLE: Deep Learning Engineer II
POSITION DUTIES:
Lead the research, development, and deployment of state-of- the-art deep learning
models for perception of urban scenes in production
environments. Architect and optimize complex machine learning systems
for scalability, efficiency, and robustness, utilizing cloud-native
technologies. Develop and implement training techniques such as data
augmentation or model distillation pipelines to improve model robustness
under diverse urban and environmental conditions. Explore and integrate
novel multi-modal foundational AI models, including large Vision-
Language Models (VLMs), and develop strategies for their effective fine-
tuning and adaptation to specific domain challenges. Drive innovation in
model compression, quantization, and efficient inference techniques to
optimize performance for both cloud and edge device deployments.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define machine learning
roadmaps, evaluate new technologies, and contribute to the overall
technical strategy. Conduct research, and evaluate emerging deep learning
techniques applicable to perception and intelligent mobility.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS:
Master of Science or Engineering degree or the foreign equivalent in
Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering,
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences or related.
EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT:
Two (2) years of experience in the position offered, as a Perception Engineer
(Deep Learning), Graduate Researcher, Computer Vision Researcher,
Software Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, Graduate Student, Summer
Intern or a related deep learning engineer role.
OTHER SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
One (1) year of work experience with all of the following: machine learning,
deep learning, and computer vision, with a focus on image classification,
object detection, semantic segmentation, and urban scene understanding;
leveraging large foundational models for a variety of computer vision tasks;
deploying models in real-world, customer- facing production environments;
data augmentation and data generation pipelines for training; deep learning
models for multi-sensor fusion (e.g., IMU, LiDAR, Cameras) to enable
robust perception and operation in GPS-challenged environments deep
learning models; developing models for motion forecasting or trajectory
prediction of dynamic agents, applied to areas such as vehicle movement
classification; Python programming with a foundation in software design
principles and with relevant machine learning libraries and Frameworks;
PyTorch or TensorFlow; cloud-based deployments on platforms such as
AWS, GCP, or Azure; containerization and orchestration technologies, such
as Docker or Kubernetes; and cloud and edge device systems for effective
model deployment and integration.

Hayden AI Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Hayden AI and has not been reviewed or approved by Hayden AI.
-
Fair & Transparent Compensation — Pay is described as competitive for senior technical roles, with multiple posted ranges and wage baselines converging around high six figures. Equity and a company-wide bonus plan are also referenced as parts of the overall package.
-
Healthcare Strength — Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents is consistently listed, alongside FSA/DCFSA options. Some listings indicate very high employer premium coverage depending on role and location.
-
Retirement Support — A 401(k) plan with an employer match is repeatedly cited as a standard component of the package. The presence of a stated match suggests a more structured retirement benefit than many early-stage startups.
Hayden AI Insights
What We Do
Artificial intelligence is already impacting almost every aspect of our lives. But cities still rely on outdated technologies that are too expensive to scale and unable to deliver on their promise. As a result, streets are becoming unsafe, and cities are becoming unmanageable. Hayden AI was founded on the belief that by combining mobile sensors with artificial intelligence, we can help governments bridge the innovation gap while making traffic flow less dangerous and more efficient. Led by a team of experts in machine learning, data science, transportation, and government technology, we’ve developed the world’s first autonomous traffic management platform — simultaneously serving citizens and multi-agency missions to help cities become safer and more sustainable.
