Engineer Machine Learning - R&D (Jeune PHD)

The Opportunity

Monk provides visual expertise through Computer Vision and Deep Learning algorithms. Today, our AI is able to detect and classify damages on any vehicle, with photos taken by a smartphone. The company is already working with international leading players, such as our parent company ACV Auctions (USA), but also CAT logistics (Europe) Getaround (France), Autobiz (Europe) or Hgreg (Canada).

We are building a world-class online damage detection system and are looking for a recent PhD graduate (“Jeune Docteur·e”) to join the ML team and work on improving our computer vision models and develop new product features for vehicle inspection, such as video-based vehicle inspection. You will work on computer vision problems, such as instance and semantic segmentation with deep neural networks, 3D reconstruction or instance tracking, in a R&D team of around 10 computer vision scientists.

Missions

• Improve our current segmentation models and develop new approaches according to SOTA

• Help with the integration of ML models in production

• Document your progress properly

• Expand the machine learning capabilities of the team on new subjects (3D, video, edge computing)

Skills

• Solid knowledge/experience in Computer Vision and Deep Learning, especially in detection and segmentation

• Good understanding on how to analyse results, for instance statistical and modeling techniques including hypothesis testing, dimensionality reduction…

• Good understanding of classical machine learning concepts: classification, regression, unsupervised clustering…

• Good knowledge and experience in scripting and programming with Python

• Aptitude for learning and applying new technologies related to data collection and annotation

• Ability to initiate and drive projects to completion in coordination with a team lead and product manager.

• The ability to communicate your results, suggestions for improvement and obstacles in a clear and effective manner.

Bonus/nice to have skills:

• Experience with 3D or video for machine learning

• Experience with edge computation

• Experience with PyTorch or Detectron2

Background

• A PhD in Computer Vision and/or Deep Machine learning

Tech Stack

• ML: Python, Pytorch, ClearML

• Databases: Postgresql, Sqlalchemy, DBT

• Versioning: Github
