Edge-Inference Pipeline for a Smart-Factory Vibration Monitor
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Edge-Inference Pipeline for a Smart-Factory Vibration Monitor. Advanced challenge in code. Writing production code that solves real engineering problems, ear...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Run vibration anomaly detection on-device on ESP32-S3 with under 1 percent false-positive weekly and under 1 MB/day MQTT egress per machine.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a multi-stage edge-inference pipeline on constrained MCUs
- Quantize/distill ML models to fit edge memory + latency budgets
- Evaluate cyber-physical systems with operationally relevant metrics
- Specify deployment architectures that respect network + power constraints
