About Autonomous

Autonomous is an AI-native company founded in 2015, transforming from smart office products into a global AI hardware and

product company.

We are building intelligent products that combine hardware, software, and AI to enhance how people work, create, and interact

with technology in real life.

Our mission is to build AI-powered systems and products that enhance human productivity and creativity at scale.

About the Role

We are looking for an AI Engineer to help build, optimize, and deploy AI systems for real-world products. This role is ideal for

someone strong in model development, inference optimization, and production deployment, with the ability to work across

research, engineering, and product teams.

What You’ll Work On

You will work across Autonomous’ key AI product ecosystem, with a focus on:

1. Workspace AI: AI features for Autonomous’ workspace products, including desks, chairs, and WorkPods, making them more intelligent, adaptive, and personalized.

2. Lamp: A physical AI companion for your desk that sees, hears, remembers, and proactively checks in before you ask, powered by expressive motion and local AI for private, personal interactions.

3. Intern: The world’s first personal AI device, powered by OpenClaw, designed to handle tasks through simple. 

You will help build AI capabilities that turn user requests into real actions across work, research, and productivity workflows.

Responsibilities

• Develop, train, evaluate, and optimize AI/ML models for production use cases.
• Build and improve inference pipelines for computer vision, LLM, and multimodal AI systems.
• Optimize model performance, latency, and cost using techniques such as quantization, pruning, ONNX, TensorRT, or Triton Inference Server.
• Deploy AI models into production environments and monitor performance over time.
• Work with engineering teams to integrate AI models into applications, services, or device-side systems.
• Conduct experiments, benchmark models, and document technical findings clearly.
• Review code, improve model-serving workflows, and contribute to engineering best practices.
• Stay updated with new AI models, frameworks, and optimization techniques.

Your skills and experience

Requirements

• 1+ years of hands-on experience in AI/ML engineering, deep learning, or applied AI.
• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Solid understanding of machine learning, deep learning, model evaluation, and data preprocessing.
• Experience building or deploying AI models in real-world projects.
• Familiarity with model optimization or inference deployment.
• Ability to read technical papers, experiment with new models, and turn research into working systems.
• Good problem-solving skills and willingness to work in a fast-paced product environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with ONNX, TensorRT, Triton Inference Server, vLLM, llama.cpp, or similar inference tools.
• Experience with edge deployment, Jetson, embedded systems, or device-side AI.
• Experience with computer vision, LLMs, RAG, multimodal systems, or AI agents.
• Experience with Docker, cloud deployment, CI/CD, or production ML pipelines.
• C/C++ experience.
• Strong math foundation or research background.

What We Look For

• Strong technical foundation and curiosity.
• Hands-on builder mindset.
• Ability to learn fast and ship practical AI systems.
• Clear communication and ownership.
• Interest in building AI products from Vietnam for the global market.

Why you'll love working here

Why you’ll love working here

• You be you.  We deeply care about helping everyone at Autonomous work on what they love, freely express their ideas within the organization, and grow to to their true potential.
• You be a better you.  Most of the time, you’ll be working on cutting edge technologies.  You’ll be constantly learning and improving your knowledge as an engineer, researcher or scientist.
• You are your own boss.  There is very little hierarchy at Autonomous.  Decision making processes are transparent and open to vote. We welcome all different ways of thinking and trust the people we work with to do what they do best. There is no micromanagement here.
• You the inventor.  Most of the time, you’ll find yourself working on a problem that doesn’t have a solution - yet. That’s where you come in.
• Solve problems for the world, not just Vietnam. Most of the problems we’re solving are for the global audience of today, and of tomorrow.
