Company:Harp Technologies
Type:Contract-to-Hire (Concept to Prototype Phase) - 8 Months
Location:Remote
Work Hours: Flexible scheduling (9 AM - 5 PM EST, flexible based on project hours)
Estimated Hours: 80 hours/month

About the Project
Harp Technologies is leveraging AI for multiple cutting-edge features: 2D-to-3D conversion, real-time translation, image upscaling, and adaptive display optimization using dedicated NPUs (Hailo-8/8L).

Role Overview
We're seeking an AI/ML Developer to implement real-time AI features optimized for edge computing on our NPU hardware, including depth mapping, translation models, and adaptive display tuning.

Key Responsibilities
- Implement 2D-to-3D depth mapping using neural networks
- Optimize depth estimation models for real-time performance on NPU
- Develop adaptive 3D display tuning (depth slider, latency optimization)
- Integrate real-time translation models (OCR, STT, TTS, MT)
- Implement AI-based image upscaling (SRGAN, FSR-like algorithms)
- Optimize models for Hailo-8/8L NPU (13-26 TOPS)
- Develop face tracking and eye tracking for 3D displays
- Create AI-based frame interpolation for motion smoothing

Key Deliverables
- 2D-to-3D conversion pipeline with adjustable depth control
- Real-time translation system (text and audio)
- AI upscaling models (SD→HD, 1080p→4K)
- Adaptive display optimization algorithms
- Model optimization for edge NPU deployment
- Performance benchmarks and latency reports

Required Qualifications
- 3+ years ML/AI development experience
- Strong Python programming skills
- Experience with TensorFlow Lite, PyTorch, or ONNX Runtime
- Knowledge of computer vision and depth estimation
- Understanding of neural network optimization and quantization
- Experience deploying models on edge devices
- Familiarity with CNNs, GANs, and transformer architectures

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Hailo AI SDK or similar NPU platforms
- Depth estimation experience (MiDaS, DPT, or similar)
- OCR implementation (Tesseract, PaddleOCR)
- Speech recognition (Whisper, DeepSpeech)
- Real-time translation pipeline development
- FPGA acceleration experience
- Gaming or display technology background

Technical Environment
Python, TensorFlow Lite, PyTorch, ONNX, OpenCV, Hailo SDK, NumPy, Git
