We are using artificial intelligence (AI) to re-imagine traffic control. Rapid Flow is an early stage AI company that was spun out of Carnegie Mellon University in 2015 and is based in Pittsburgh, PA – one of the leading markets for AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicle research and development.\nBy implementing Surtrac, our adaptive traffic control system, municipalities have reduced the causes of traffic congestion, pollution, and safety incidents by as much as 20-40%. Surtrac is an edge-computing AI solution installed at each intersection. It easily integrates with existing detection, traffic control, and communication systems.\n\nJob Description\n\nThis role will be focused on helping customers and partners implement our Surtrac solution in the field. If you have experience in implementing AI solutions, embedded computing, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), or traffic products, and want to use that experience to truly make a difference and change the world, then this role might be perfect for you!\nThe ideal Implementation Engineer will have both a) strong technical skills associated with building software/hardware integrations and b) experience deploying technology systems in the real-world. Experience working in traffic cabinets at the intersection, interacting with traffic engineers and planners, or knowledge of the equipment associated with signalized intersections would be useful, but are not necessary. Because the combination of these two sets of skills are hard to find, we are open to reviewing candidates with more experience in one area, but a willingness to learn the other.\nMain responsibilities include, but are not limited to:\nSupporting (and eventually leading) end-to-end deployment of the Surtrac system.
