Job Description & How to Apply Below
ENVIRONMENT:
A Machine Learning Engineer with a strong foundation in computer vision is sought by a provider of cutting-edge Tech Applications. Your core role will be to improve the quality and reliability of the deployed detection and classification models. This is a hands‑on role focused on model refinement, error analysis, and data‑driven performance improvements rather than building from scratch. The successful incumbent will require 2+ years of Python & Machine Learning experience including computer vision Deep Learning models.
You also need to be familiar with model serving and inference pipelines (e.g., NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, ONNX, TensorRT).
- Analyse and improve the performance of existing object detection and image classification models deployed in production.
- Systematically investigate missed detections and false alarms across diverse CCTV environments, identify failure patterns, and propose targeted fixes.
- Design and implement data augmentation strategies tailored to real‑world CCTV challenges such as varying lighting, camera angles, resolution, weather conditions, and occlusion.
- Run controlled experiments to evaluate the impact of training strategies, hyperparameter changes, data balancing, and architectural tweaks on model performance.
- Contribute to the development and refinement of false positive filtering pipelines, including ensemble and verification‑based approaches.
- Assist with data labelling workflows, quality checks, and dataset preparation for training and evaluation.
- Maintain clear records of experiments, results, and model performance metrics to support reproducibility and team knowledge sharing.
- Perform research into latest AI/ML techniques that bring business value.
- Work on ML Backend development for the production system and support infrastructure.
- 2+ Years of experience with Python programming and general Machine Learning.
- Experience with computer vision Deep Learning models.
- Familiarity with model serving and inference pipelines (e.g., NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, ONNX, TensorRT).
- Exposure to MLOps tools such as Weights & Biases, MLflow, or similar for experiment tracking.
- Familiarity with annotation tools and labelling workflows (e.g., CVAT, Label Studio).
