You will work across the full lifecycle of a machine learning system: exploring and improving datasets, developing and evaluating models, building training and inference pipelines, deploying models to production, and investigating performance issues once they are running in the field.\nA significant part of the role focuses on computer vision for industrial applications, including object detection, image classification, multispectral imagery, and real-time inference. You will also contribute to the platforms and tooling that allow our engineers to train, evaluate, deploy, and maintain machine learning models efficiently at scale.\nKey responsibilities\nDevelop, train, evaluate, and maintain deep learning models for computer vision tasks such as object detection and image classification.\n\nBuild and maintain training and inference pipelines, primarily using Azure Machine Learning.\n\nBuild data pipelines for processing large image datasets, including multispectral and other multi-channel imagery.\n\nExplore and visualize datasets to identify data quality issues, distribution shifts, labeling inconsistencies, and other factors that may affect model performance.\n\nHelp define data collection, annotation, preprocessing, feature engineering, and augmentation strategies.\n\nWork with annotation teams to define clear labeling guidelines and ensure training data is consistent and usable.\n\nTrain and deploy models that solve real-world problems on industrial machines and production systems.\n\nOptimize models for the latency, throughput, memory, and hardware constraints of production environments.\n\nDebug model, data, and pipeline issues in production and design strategies to improve performance.\n\nDefine appropriate validation strategies, evaluation metrics, and test datasets for machine learning systems.\n\nPerform model error analysis and translate findings into improvements in data, modeling, or system design.\n\nPrototype and evaluate new architectures, algorithms, and modeling approaches before integrating them into production.\n\nImprove our shared ML platform and tooling, including internal SDKs, data schemas, training pipelines, deployment tooling, and CI/CD.\n\nReview pull requests and help maintain strong engineering, testing, documentation, and code quality standards across the ML codebase.\n\nCollaborate with machine learning engineers, software engineers, data engineers, and customer teams to design and deliver production-ready solutions.\n\nStay up to date with relevant developments in computer vision, deep learning, and MLOps and assess where new approaches can provide practical value.\n\nRequirements\nMaster's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.\n\nSeveral years of professional experience building machine learning systems, with a strong focus on computer vision and deep learning.\n\nStrong Python programming skills.\n\nHands-on experience with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow.\n\nSolid understanding of object detection and image classification, including model architectures, loss functions, augmentation strategies, training techniques, and evaluation metrics.\n\nExperience working with common computer vision tooling and frameworks such as OpenCV, YOLO-based architectures, MMDetection, or similar ecosystems.\n\nExperience building and debugging machine learning pipelines and models in production.\n\nExperience with a cloud ML platform such as Azure Machine Learning, AWS SageMaker, or Google Vertex AI. Experience with Azure is a strong plus.\n\nFamiliarity with Docker, CI/CD, automated testing, versioning, monitoring, and other software engineering practices for production ML systems.\n\nExperience optimizing models for real-time or high-throughput inference, ideally on edge devices or production hardware.\n\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly when investigating complex interactions between data, models, and production systems.\n\nComfortable taking ownership of shared code, tooling, and systems used by other engineers.\n\nStrong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nNice to have:\nExperience building or maintaining MLOps platforms or shared ML infrastructure.\n\nExperience with multispectral, hyperspectral, or other non-standard imaging modalities.\n\nExperience deploying computer vision models on edge devices, embedded hardware, GPUs, or industrial machines.\n\nExperience with model optimization techniques such as quantization, pruning, compilation, or hardware-specific inference runtimes.\n\nExperience designing or managing large-scale image annotation and dataset curation workflows.\n\nProven experience developing and deploying scalable machine learning systems.\n\nExperience mentoring engineers, reviewing technical designs, or leading technical initiatives.\n\nPublications or research experience in relevant AI/ML fields.\n\nExperience in one or more of our focus domains, such as manufacturing, retail, data quality, finance, or generative AI.\n\nWe offer:\nA rewarding salary package that includes additional perks like a company car and fuel card or a mobility budget, comprehensive hospitalization and group insurance, along with a top-tier laptop and smartphone.\n\nBenefit from a company culture that stimulates both individual and team development, fostering your professional growth.\n\nUtilize your innovation budget for engaging in exciting, educational, and challenging open-source projects within your guild.\n\nParticipate in (virtual) team-building activities and gatherings, a great opportunity to unwind and engage with our vibrant team initiatives.\n\nA flexible hybrid working-policy to choose where, how, and when you want to work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6007,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid
