Machine Learning Resident at Enriched Ag focusing on vision AI for agriculture technology. Engaging in hands-on research and development with mentoring in a fast-paced environment.
Responsibilities
This is a paid residency that will be undertaken over a 12-month period with the potential to be hired by our client, Enriched Ag, afterwards (note: at the discretion of the client)
The Resident will report to an Amii Scientist and regularly consult with the client team to share insights and engage in knowledge transfer activities
Successful candidates will be members of a cross-functional project team with backgrounds in ML research, project management, software engineering, and new product development
A core objective of this residency is to further develop and operate this model stack within a Canadian-controlled machine learning infrastructure, ensuring that data, pipelines, ground-truth generation and validation, model training, evaluation, and deployment are managed and scaled in Canada
Engage in regular client meetings, contributing to presentations and reports on project progress
Requirements
Completion of a Computer Science (or a related graduate degree program) MSc. or PhD with specialization in vision AI and vision-language multimodal modeling
Proficient in developing and training, fine-tuning and evaluating machine learning and deep neural network models in PyTorch and/or TensorFlow
Solid experience with modern ViT and CNN models for real world visual recognition tasks (e.g. object detection, instance segmentation) and other related vision tasks (e.g. image retrieval, image captioning)
Hands-on experience with foundational vision language models (e.g. CLIP, LLaVA)
Proficient in Python programming language and related ML frameworks, libraries, and toolkits (e.g., Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, Pandas, HuggingFace)
Familiarity with Linux, Git version control, and writing clean code
Comfortable with quick prototyping in a business environment
A positive attitude towards learning and understanding a new applied domain
Must be legally eligible to work in Canada
Benefits
Work under the mentorship of an Amii Scientist for the duration of the project
