AI Engineer at Alcor Labs

Are you tired of building chatbots? Join a high-growth Bay Area startup where you’ll build the 'brain' for a physical device. We are looking for an AI Engineer to own the end-to-end multimodal loop, from camera-based scene understanding to agentic reasoning and action. If you have experience shipping AI products in a startup environment and want to define how humans interact with hardware through vision and language, this is the role for you.

Overview

Role overview

You will lead the development of end-to-end multimodal agentic AI pipelines for a novel physical device. This role involves architecting the full interaction loop—from camera-based scene understanding to cloud reasoning and action. You will bridge the gap between computer vision and large language models to create a seamless user experience on hardware.

Bay Area AI hardware startup building multimodal intelligence for physical devices

Responsibilities

What you will do

  • Design and implement end-to-end AI pipelines that process camera data to perform complex scene understanding and reasoning.
  • Build the full interaction loop connecting hardware sensors to cloud-based LLMs and translating outputs into device actions.
  • Optimize multimodal model performance for latency and accuracy to ensure real-time responsiveness on an edge-tethered device.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • Proven experience building and shipping multimodal AI features or agentic loops within a fast-moving startup environment.
  • Strong background in camera-based scene understanding, computer vision, and integrating large language models for reasoning.
  • Deep technical expertise in Python and modern AI frameworks, with a track record of deploying models to production devices.

What makes it remarkable

Why this role is remarkable

  • Work at the cutting edge of AI hardware, moving beyond pure software to build intelligence that interacts with the physical world.
  • Join a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment where your code directly dictates the capabilities of a shipped physical product.
  • Drive the architectural decisions for multimodal reasoning, integrating vision and language models into a cohesive, agentic system.
