What will you do?
Core Responsibilities And Key Performance Objectives
- Architect and own a sustainable, end-to-end machine learning training pipeline for CV models.
- Champion and deliver edge-deployable CV models that are robust, efficient, and optimized for low-power environments in remote areas.
- Mentor and coach data scientists and engineers in CV fundamentals, best practices, and emerging techniques.
- Develop, deploy, and maintain multiple CV models addressing a range of environmental and sensing contexts by gathering and curating novel ML training sets.
- Lead strategic initiatives involving multimodal data fusion (e.g., combining satellite, drone, LiDAR, multispectral, low-light, and RGB camera data).
- Fully onboard and assess current ML training pipelines and CV infrastructure.
- Begin developing a roadmap for a robust, sustainable training system.
- Build relationships across Data Science, Software, and Sensor Hardware teams to understand pain points and opportunities.
- Deliver a working MVP of a model training pipeline tailored to LineVision’s data constraints and goals.
- Guide team members through project-based mentoring and technical knowledge transfer.
- Pilot an early-stage edge-deployable CV model for field testing.
- Stand up and document a scalable, production-grade CV training and deployment system.
- Ship multiple robust CV models in production, including at least one optimized for edge processing.
- Build a track record of successfully translating general product requirements into actionable tasks and clearly defined model performance metrics.
- Develop best-practice guidelines, model accuracy benchmarks, and reusable assets for future CV models.
Key Competencies
- Delivering Innovative Solutions: Design novel systems and scrappy workflows to generate and curate fit-for-purpose ML training and testing imagery.
- Empowering Others: Level up overall team capability through mentorship, paired work, and shared learning.
- Judgment & Decision Making: Make technically sound choices that balance experimentation with performance constraints.
- Stakeholder Management: Bring clarity and alignment on complex CV topics across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Deep experience building new CV systems from the ground up—not just optimizing components of legacy pipelines.
- Expertise in working with uncontrolled environmental imagery (e.g., outdoor, variable lighting, occlusion-heavy, and complex natural backgrounds).
- Strong knowledge of both classical and machine learning CV techniques, including feature matching, segmentation, edge detection, pose estimation, etc.
- Proficiency in Python and tools like OpenCV, scikit-image, Roboflow, and anomalib.
- Creativity and practicality in building training datasets, including the use of public datasets, synthetic imagery, and domain adaptation techniques.
- Experience deploying ML models to edge devices with compute and power constraints.
- Strong physics intuition and ability to reason through sensor phenomena and imaging artifacts.
- Familiarity with AWS SageMaker, image labeling pipelines, and cross-sensor data fusion.
- Ability to communicate CV concepts clearly and build trust and confidence across scientific and executive teams.
- Reports to the Senior Director of Data Science.
- Collaborates closely with Sensor Hardware Engineering, Software, Data Science, and Product teams.
- Expected to mentor junior and mid-level data scientists and serve as a CV domain expert within cross-functional squads.
- Apply Online.
