With a history of over 30 years of research and innovative technology development, we at Media Technologies Research Lab wonder if you are the next brilliant individual to join our world-class research and technology development team!
 
We are a multi-national lab formed of great researchers from all over the world! Our lab contributes to the global research community with high quality publications. We also contribute to the industry via relevant standardization organizations such as MPEG and 3GPP.
 
If you'd like to research and develop new and exciting technologies on areas such as machine learning with a focus on visual media, then carry on reading....
 
 You will be given the following responsibilities (but don't let the list limit you!) :
  • Research and development of visual media technologies by utilizing modern machine learning concepts. Main application areas are computer vision and neural network compression.
  • Publication of high quality research results and necessary intellectual property generation. (Submissions to world-class conferences and participation is highly encouraged!)
  • Technical contribution to the international standardization organizations such as MPEG, 3GPP and ETSI.
  • Proof of concept development and validation of the research results
  • Collaboration with other teams when they are impressed with your results and want to take your tech further into their product (well done!)
  • Leading/mentoring other researchers related to your expertise area (spread the knowledge!)

Skills are what you're going to build and help building in our lab! As a starting point, here are some requirements that we expect from you:

  • Hands on experience and knowledge on computer vision and/or neural network compression
  • Expert knowledge on training neural networks, unsupervised and supervised learning, reinforcement learning, generative and discriminative models, deep learning techniques, data pre-processing
  • Applying machine learning on 2D/3D visual data (images or video)
  • Experience in developing computer vision algorithms (especially on object re-identification, tracking, activity recognition, depth sensing, semantic segmentation, anomaly detection)
  • Software development skills using Python and C++
  • Experience in using frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch and OpenCV
  • Experience in utilizing Neural Processing Units (NPUs) on mobile devices is a plus 
 Let's now check the qualifications:
  • A PhD degree (or about to complete) in disciplines such as machine learning, computer vision and data science is desired. If you have an MSc and a lot of experience in the topics we are interested in, that also counts!
  • 5+ (senior) / 10+ (principal) years of relevant work experience (academic work and R&D project experience within your PhD duration is usually considered)
  • Experience in mentoring other colleagues is a plus
  • Excellent in written and verbal English language skills

We believe in people and we already know that you are a great person. You probably have a blend of these personal attributes:

  • Innovative, full of ideas and eager to invent and apply new things
  • Self-guided and eager to take responsibility
  • Motivated to learn and explore new ideas and technologies
  • Be an out of the box thinker and problem solver
  • Team player and believer in the power of "we" rather than "me"

Now it's time to apply! Looking forward to meeting you soon!
