Key Responsibilities

  • Translating business requirements into requirements for AI/ML models, particularly those related to multi-modal perception and robotic applications.
  • Preparing data to train and evaluate AI/ML/DL models.
  • Building AI/ML/DL models by applying state-of-the-art algorithms, especially transformers. In some cases, leverage existing algorithms from academic or industrial research.
  • Testing, evaluating the AI/ML/DL models, benchmarking their quality, and publishing the models, data sets, and evaluations.
  • Deploying the models in production by containerizing the models.
  • Working with customers and internal employees to refine the quality of the models.
  • Establishing continuous learning pipelines for models with online learning or transfer learning.
  • Building and deploying containerized applications on the cloud or on-premises environments

Required Qualifications

  • MS degree (Ph.D. preferred) in computer science, machine learning, robotics, physics, computational science/engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of work-related experience in software development with good Python, Java, and/or C/C++ programming skills. 5+ years in Machine Learning frameworks such as PyTorch, Tensorflow, ONNX Runtime, and TensorRT.
  • Familiarity with containers, numeric libraries, modular software design (not including graduate school)
  • Hands-on expertise with traditional statistical machine learning techniques as well as deep-learning and natural language processing modeling.
  • Expertise in supervised, unsupervised, and transfer learning techniques.
  • Hands-on expertise in machine learning techniques and algorithms with a strong background in state-of-the-art DNN architectures (Transformers, CNN, R-CNN, RNN, BERT, GAN, autoencoders, etc.) and experience in developing or using major deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Tensorflow, etc.).
  • Background with container technologies, such as Dockers and Kubernetes

Preferred Experience and Skills

  • Demonstrable experience in building, programming, and integrating software and hardware for autonomous or robotic systems.
  • Proven experience producing computationally efficient software to meet real-time requirements.
