Role
Who you are
- Masters Degree (or higher) in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Computer Science
- 8+ years experience with building deep learning based computer vision models in a professional setting
- 8+ years experience with Python, Pytorch, and AWS
- 5+ years experience working with aerial imagery and geospatial data
- Experience with mentoring and coaching more junior developers
- Experience with collaborating with different teams to ensure models meet product specifications
- Experience with state of the art AI models such as generative, agentic, or multimodal models
- Recent publications in machine learning, geospatial, or similar academic conferences
What the job involves
- As a Senior ML Scientist II, you will help design and develop novel AI computer vision models across multiple industry verticals including solar, wind turbines, and commercial roofing
- These models will be created using various sensor data ranging from RGB (Red, Green, Blue), thermal, and geospatial images collected from drones, fixed wing aircrafts, along with other image sources
- Increasingly, this includes developing and applying vision-language models (VLMs) and agentic AI systems to advance multimodal understanding and enable automated workflows
- Working collaboratively with product managers and backend engineers will be required to ensure the models are performing to the product specifications
- The day-to-day duties of the job will include collecting, organizing, and analyzing image and thermal data collected from customers, and then programmatically converting the data into formats that are usable by machine learning models
- The duties will also include programming/developing machine learning models using cloud technologies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) along with assisting in programmatic deployments of these models into production
- In this position, you’ll be collaborating and presenting models, results, and roadmapping ideas with other members of the ML team and other cross functional teams
- It will also be expected that this role will require you to write documentation on how to run, test, and use the various models and other programs that you will develop
- It will also be expected that you mentor and coach more junior developers in the AI department
- Design and develop novel AI computer vision models across multiple verticals such as solar, wind, and commercial properties
- Develop AI models that operate on a variety of sensor data ranging from RGB to thermal imagery
- Develop AI models that operate on a variety of image sources such as drones, fixed wing aircraft
- Design and implement VLMs and agentic AI systems to extend multimodal understanding and enable autonomous decision-making across inspection workflows
- Collect, organize, and analyze data for machine learning model development
- Utilizing cloud technologies such as AWS to train and deploy AI models
- Collaborating with and presenting model results to other members of the AI team and other cross-functional teams
- Write documentation and tests on how to run, test, and use various models and programs that you develop
- Mentor and coach more junior developers within the AI department
Our take
Drone video and imagery is one of many new technologies that businesses today can use to gain an edge. Drones are now able to collect data and insights that we couldn’t before, and Zeitview (formerly DroneBase) is an aerial imagery company on a mission to transition businesses to renewable energy and a more sustainable infrastructure.
Offering services from drone video and photography for real estate companies, to aerial data solutions for insurance claims and inspections, the company has a range of features which are useful across sectors. On top of the collection of the data the company also hosts a data management platform, presenting itself as a one-stop-shop for its customers.
Zeitview has raised impressive funds which have supported the pursuit of more opportunities and expansion of it offering. The company's 2024 acquisition of the assets of Clearsight, which specializes in transmission, distribution and substation inspections, further broadens its appeal and cements it as a market leader.
