To expand our engineering team, we are looking for an engineer who is passionate about machine learning and has a solid track record in it, to work on deep learning applications for our computer vision pipelines.
As a part of our growing team in Zurich, you will be working with image processing and computer vision specialists to develop algorithms for real-time barcode decoding, text recognition and object detection for robust real-world performance. The solutions you develop will be running on hundreds of millions of mobile devices on which our real-time computer vision products are deployed today.
What You Will Do
- Design and build systems to train models for challenging object and visual text recognition problems
- Implement model evaluation algorithms for mobile devices that run in real time
- Apply machine learning algorithms to improve the performance of our barcode scanning algorithms
- Extract new insights from our analytics data to improve the performance of our products
- Build automated QA systems to guarantee robustness, speed and consistency
Who You Are
- PhD in degree in signal processing, computer science or a related field, or MSc with significant industrial experience in the field
- Practical experience in machine learning (including deep learning) and computer vision / image processing
- Familiar with architectures, modeling, capabilities and limitations of deep neural networks
- Experience in C++ and Python (or a similar language)
- Published work at relevant conferences (such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, etc.) and the desire to mentor other team members are a plus
What We Offer
- A highly skilled and helpful team of international researchers, scientists and engineers to work with
- An environment where you can put your enthusiasm for algorithmic challenges and cutting-edge technologies to use
- Hackathons, Christmas fondue parties, company outings and other regular events
- A lab with state-of-the-art hardware (such as a UR robot, Microsoft Hololens, Vuzix, Google Glass, etc.)
- Flexible working hours
