Job Description

FocusKPI is looking for an Android AI ML Engineer - On-Deviceto join one of our clients a high-tech SaaS company.

The client is looking for a highly capable Android AI/ML Engineer - On-Device to help build intelligent privacy-first mobile systems that can detect respond to and learn from dynamic real-world conditions. This role involves deploying resource-efficient ML models directly on Android devices combined with backend integration for model management telemetry and secure update delivery.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in on-device intelligence and cloud-integrated systems especially in applications that require responsiveness adaptability and strict privacy controls.

Work Location:Mountain View CA (on-site 4 days a week)
Duration:6-month contract; hybrid role
Pay Range:80/hr to $93/hr

Responsibilities:
  • Design develop and deploy on-device machine learning models optimized for Android ensuring low latency and minimal resource consumption.
  • Build robust and scalable ML pipelines using Android-native frameworks such as:
    • TensorFlow Lite
    • ML Kit (including GenAI APIs)
    • MediaPipe
    • PyTorch Mobile
  • Build robust and efficient on-device data pipelines and inference mechanisms for real-time decision-making.
  • Apply model optimization techniques such as quantization pruning and distillation for performance on mobile hardware.
  • Ensure privacy-first design by performing all data processing and inference strictly on-device.
  • Collaborate with backend teams to integrate with cloud-based model orchestration systems (e.g. MCP or similar) for:
    • Model versioning delivery and remote updates
    • Telemetry collection and model performance monitoring
    • Rollout and A/B testing infrastructure
  • Implement secure local storage encrypted data handling and telemetry pipelines that meet privacy and compliance standards.
  • Support adaptive model behavior through on-device fine-tuning personalization or federated learning workflows.

Qualifications:
  • 5-7 years of experience with a Masters degree 3 years of experience with a PhD
  • Proficiency in Android development using Kotlin and/or Java with deep understanding of app architecture background processing and system APIs.
  • Hands-on experience with on-device ML frameworks: TensorFlow Lite ML Kit MediaPipe PyTorch Mobile.
  • Solid understanding of mobile performance optimization including model size memory usage and latency.
  • Proven ability to integrate Android apps with backend/cloud systems for:
  • Model lifecycle management (delivery updates rollback)
  • Logging telemetry and analytics
  • Experience with secure Android development including permissions sandboxing encryption and local data protection.
  • Strong understanding of privacy-first ML system design and local-only data processing.

Desired qualifications:

  • Experience working with model orchestration platforms (e.g. MCP Vertex AI SageMaker or internal tools).
  • Familiarity with federated learning on-device personalization or differential privacy.
  • Background in building real-time data-driven features in mobile apps at scale.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g. GCP AWS) for ML model deployment and monitoring.
  • Previous work in high-sensitivity domains such as identity privacy mobile security or regulated industries is a plus.
