Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field, graduate degree preferred
- 2 years of experience developing high-performance ML systems, training and optimizing DNNs for segmentation, depth, and related perception tasks with large-scale datasets
- Strong Python + PyTorch/TensorFlow skills
- Solid grasp of vision + deep learning fundamentals
- Strong communication skills to work closely with interdisciplinary teams to integrate models into edge and cloud systems
Desirable
- Experience building and deploying full-stack ML pipelines, from data ingestion to model training, testing, and deployment
- Edge deployment or real-time optimization know-how
- Experience in working with CVML & Robotics projects
- Experience with multi-view geometry or SLAM
- Experience in the vehicle autonomy space
- Experience in metrics implementation, analysis, and dashboarding
- Knowledge of robotics libraries such as ROS / ROS2
What the job involves
- We are looking for a highly skilled and innovative Machine Learning Engineer to join the team responsible for building the perception stack for Blue River Technology's autonomous tractor initiative
- You will be responsible for working on the development of CVML models, training and testing pipelines to enhance system safety and performance in challenging production environments
- This role will range from developing initial prototypes to scaling for production
- We’re looking for a motivated and collaborative individual to help build the future of autonomous agriculture
- A combination, not necessarily all-inclusive, of the following:
- Implementing deep-learning-based classification systems for identifying, characterizing, and classifying various farm-related objects using images and videos
- Exploring and developing new methods for improving detection performance and increasing the speed of processing
- Working with the Software team to transition processing from desktop/server-class machines to real-time, field robotic systems
- Work with systems software engineers to help architect and develop data processing and annotation pipelines for continuous system monitoring and improvement
Our take
The global farming market is rigorously growing to keep up with demand. Blue River Technology is a farming equipment maker using computer vision, machine learning, robotics and product management to develop machines that optimize chemical usage and reimagining routine processes within farming.
Acquired by one of the largest names in agriculture - John Deere - Blue River commits to remaining independent in ways of working and culture. The company is also stepping into new-world territory working with AI to combat invasive weeds and other large-scale farming issues.
It’s impressive what has been developed by Blue River Technology for an industry that is so heavily relied upon, yet has been slower to digitize. It will be exciting to see how the company develops its idea of autonomous farming into the future picture of the industry.
