- 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
- 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!
