Algorithms Engineer (HPC)

Responsibilities:

Advanced X-Ray Systems Division

The Advanced 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 an 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 you would 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 an Algorithms Engineer (HPC) in the Advanced X-Ray Systems division at Vehant Technologies, Bengaluru. The Algorithms Engineer (HPC) will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing high-performance algorithms for imaging and data processing pipelines used in real-time baggage screening and security applications.

The role focuses on hands-on algorithm development and performance optimization within a heterogeneous compute environment involving multi-core CPUs and GPUs. The engineer will implement parallel and multi-threaded algorithms, apply data-parallel (SIMD) and task-parallel processing techniques, and ensure algorithms meet required performance, latency, and throughput targets.

The Algorithms Engineer (HPC) will work closely with Software Architects and system teams to integrate algorithms into larger real-time processing pipelines. The role also involves contributing to verification, validation, and performance testing, and supporting debugging and root-cause analysis of performance or correctness issues observed during development and testing.

This role is hands-on and implementation-focused, ownership of system-level architecture, hardware finalization, and overall platform decisions remains with the Software Architect.

Qualifications & Desired Skills:

• E./B.Tech, M.Tech, M.C.A, M.S., or equivalent in Computer Science / Engineering or related discipline
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for performance-critical algorithm development
• Experience working on Linux platforms
• Good understanding of:
• Multi-threading and concurrency
• Parallel programming on CPU and GPU
• Data-parallel (SIMD) and task-parallel processing
• Hands-on experience with CUDA or OpenCL
• Familiarity with OpenMP / OpenACC
• Experience with performance profiling, benchmarking, and optimization tools
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment

Good to Have / Preferred Skills:

• Exposure to imaging, signal processing, CT, or X-ray systems
• Experience with AVX/SSE or other vectorization techniques
• Python for prototyping, experimentation, and tooling
• Experience with high-throughput data handling or file systems
• Exposure to real-time or mission-critical systems

Motivational Paragraph:

This is one among many roles that would be systematically created and filled to create a very lean yet agile team of professionals to co-conceive and co-create the next generation of Advanced X-ray Systems in the baggage screening sector of security screening applications. Come and be a part of this exciting team to make in India for the world!
