Algorithms Engineer (HPC)

RESPONSIBLITES

Advanced X-Ray Systems Division

The Advanced X-Ray SystemsAdvanced X-Ray Systems division is a newly established division as part of Vehant Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Its mission is to build a talent pool of expertise in India to establish a design house to create the next generation of Security Baggage Scanners with novel geometries. The organization has a clear and long term strategic vision for the division that revolves around establishing itself as a innovative player in the security scanning domain and is committed for sustainable strategic technology development to propel industry leading solutions with a vision of AtmaNirbhar Bharat – Make in India for the World.

We intend to create a very lean yet agile team of professionals to co-conceive of and co-create the next generation of Advanced X-Ray Systems in the baggage screening sector of security screening applications. We are actively hiring for technical resources spanning a wide range of specialties connected to X-Ray/CT technology backgrounds including but not limited to Systems Engineering, Image Quality, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering., Firmware design, Software designs and architects, High-performance compute algorithm designers, and UI/UX designers. The overall activities would begin with conceptualization and culminating in engineering product design including DFX (Manufacturing/Service/Reliability.). Technology development would encompass a wide array of domains spanning X-Ray physics, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Digital Twin designs, rapid prototyping, signal processing, image generation chain and experimental data analytics and research.

If you have what it takes to create ground-up design from (nothing) 0 -> (working) 1, then this is a true once in a lifetime opportunity to make a difference both to your career and the world with your contributions. The ability to design with creative freedom is both empowering and can be daunting task to those who are used to rowing in a team of thousand oarsmen in a ship. This role is for those explorers who are willing to take on the challenge to start the sails and take on the responsibility to steer it solo in the vast ocean.

If you believe you have what it takes to contribute in a mutually beneficial and meaningful manner, do not hesitate to reach out to us with the Job ID of interest to you. If you do not find a good role fitting your existing experience and expertise, you are encouraged to create a 150 words short write-up to elaborate on your perspective on how do you envision yourself to be contributing value in this overall mission.

Come and be a part of this exciting team to make in India for the world!

Role/Job Description

This is a full-time on-site role for a Algorithms Engineer (HPC), in Advanced X-Ray Systems division at Vehant Technologies in Bengaluru. The Algorithms Engineer (HPC) shall be responsible for designing and developing compute and algorithm architecture, leading design and integration of high performance algorithms, and ensuring system reliability and stability for baggage screening for security applications. The role would require expertise and knowledge in design of high-performance compute algorithms with a good understanding of parallel computing and algorithm optimization in a heterogeneous compute architecture involving multi-core CPU and GPUs. A strong understanding of multi-threaded architecture and SIMD/MIMD based pipelining would be a prerequisite. The role involves detailed assessment and finalization of compute hardware requirements, DFX (requirements, reliability, performance, lifing, sourcing, manufacturing, servicing, prognostics), conceptualization and creation of design platforms and overseeing the whole technical design process from design and development to verification and validation till production and post-market surveillance to ensure customer satisfaction.
