Data Scientist - Computer Vision
Job Description
Your role:
The Data Scientist is responsible for ensuring data quality, accuracy, and reliability through rigorous validation and cleansing techniques, driving comprehensive quality control measures, working under limited supervision. The role utilizes advanced algorithms and AI, participates in end-to-end data mining projects to extract deep insights from complex data sources. The role deploys and tests data science solutions rigorously, ensuring optimal performance and seamless integration with enterprise systems. The role maintains robust data pipelines and workflows and leverages big data technologies to support advanced analytics projects.
You're The Right Fit If
- 7-10 years experience in AI and Data Science field. Master's in computers, electronics, electrical engineering or PhD in relevant streams
- Ability to frame business problems as computer vision and data science tasks (e.g., defect detection, OCR, surveillance analytics, medical imaging diagnostics)
- Collect, clean, label, and curate large image/video datasets; design augmentation strategies and manage dataset versioning
- Develop, train, and optimize deep learning models for tasks like image classification, object detection, segmentation, tracking, and anomaly detection using frameworks such as PyTorch, OpenCV or TensorFlow
- Solid understanding of machine learning and deep learning, including CNNs, modern architectures (e.g., ResNet, EfficientNet, Unet, YOLO transformers for vision), and training best practices.
- Apply and combine traditional vision (e.g., filtering, feature extraction, geometric transforms) with deep models where appropriate.
- Evaluate models using appropriate metrics (e.g., mAP, IoU, precision/recall, F1) and run experiments/ablation studies to improve performance and robustness
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and version control; familiarity with MLOps tools is often preferred
- Excellent understanding of machine learning techniques and algorithms like k-NN, SVM, Random Forest, privacy models, etc.
- Understanding exploratory data processing techniques such as cleaning and verifying the integrity of data used for analysis
- Good applied statistics skills, such as distributions, statistical testing, regression, etc.
- Strong analytical, problem solving and communication skills
