  • Prepare and preprocess datasets for training and evaluation. You’ll perform data augmentation, image normalization, and labeling to create high-quality datasets that improve model accuracy and robustness.
Deploy Computer Vision Models in Production:
  • Collaborate with software engineers and DevOps teams to deploy computer vision models into production environments. You’ll use tools like Docker and Kubernetes to ensure that models are scalable, efficient, and integrated into real-world applications.
Experiment with Emerging Technologies:
  • Stay up to date with the latest advancements in computer vision, deep learning, and AI. You’ll explore cutting-edge technologies such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), 3D vision, augmented reality (AR), and edge AI to push the boundaries of innovation.
Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams:
  • Work closely with product managers, data engineers, and designers to integrate computer vision capabilities into products. You’ll ensure that the solutions you build align with business goals and deliver real-world impact.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Computer Vision Expertise:Strong knowledge of computer vision techniques, including image classification, object detection, image segmentation, and feature extraction. You’re experienced with libraries and frameworks like OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras.
  • Deep Learning Proficiency:Expertise in deep learning techniques, particularly in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), RNNs, and transfer learning. You have experience building and optimizing models using architectures such as ResNet, VGG, or YOLO.
  • Programming and Software Development:Proficiency in Python, C++, or a similar programming language, with experience writing production-level code. You can build, test, and deploy computer vision models efficiently.
  • Model Deployment and Optimization:Experience deploying machine learning models into production environments using cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization tools like Docker. You understand how to optimize models for real-time performance.
  • Data Handling and Preprocessing:Hands-on experience with data annotation, augmentation, and preprocessing. You know how to work with large datasets and prepare them for training deep learning models.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.Equivalent experience in computer vision or machine learning is highly valued.
  • Certifications or additional coursework in computer vision, deep learning, or AI are a plus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in computer vision engineering,with a track record of building and deploying computer vision models in real-world applications.
  • Proven experience with image and video analysis, and hands-on experience developing deep learning models for vision-related tasks.
  • Experience working with cloud-based computer vision services (AWS Rekognition, Google Vision API, Azure Computer Vision) is highly desirable.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
