Department Overview

Job Description

Core Responsibilities

1. Strategic AI Research & Risk Assessment

• Continuously scout the AI landscape for mature, stable technologies (e.g., classical ML, proven GenAI, robust audio processing) that are ready for enterprise deployment.

• Conduct rigorous risk assessments (security, bias, latency, hallucination risks) to ensure proposed AI solutions are safe for mission-critical communication environments.

• Develop proof-of-concepts (PoCs) to validate the performance, cost-to-serve, and operational impact of new AI tools before wide-scale rollout.

2. Operational & Process Optimization

• Identify bottlenecks in development, QA, and deployment pipelines, deploying AI tools (e.g., AI-assisted code reviews, automated test generation) to enhance engineering productivity.

• Implement AI-driven telemetry and predictive maintenance for cloud infrastructure to proactively detect outages and reduce compute costs.

• Streamline customer support and onboarding processes using secure, RAG-based (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) knowledge assistants for dispatchers and IT admins.

3. Product Enhancement (Communications in & Cloud Solutions)

• Audio & Speech AI: Propose and integrate edge-to-cloud audio models. Focus on advanced audio features, i.e. noise suppressors, real-time speech-to-text in high-noise environments, and acoustic anomaly detection.

• Dispatch & Cloud Intelligence: Design AI integrations for cloud dispatch systems, such as automated radio chatter summarization, predictive location-based resource allocation, and smart keyword alerting.

• Performance Optimization: Leverage predictive AI to optimize cloud routing, reduce latency in PTT call setup, and manage bandwidth dynamically over LTE/Wi-Fi networks.

Basic Requirements

Experience & Mindset

• Experience: 5+ years in AI/ML engineering, product management, or technical strategy, ideally within cloud SaaS, telecommunications, or unified communications (UCaaS).

• Risk-Aware Innovation: Demonstrated ability to distinguish between "hype" and "stable, production-ready" AI. Experience deploying AI in zero-fault tolerance or high-reliability environments.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven track record of translating complex AI concepts into business value (ROI, cost-savings, performance metrics) for stakeholders.

Technical Competencies

• Audio/Voice ML: Familiarity with audio processing models, speech recognition (ASR), and natural language processing (NLP) tailored for real-time communication.

• Cloud AI Services: Deep understanding of managed AI services across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and how to architect them for cost-efficiency.

• Edge vs. Cloud Architecture: Strong understanding of when to process AI workloads on the edge (e.g., on rugged PTT devices) versus in the cloud to balance latency, battery life, and compute costs.

• MLOps: Knowledge of model deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management to ensure AI features do not degrade over time.
