• Must have very good experience in Python programming (C programming is a plus).
• Must show in-depth understanding of deep learning concepts and techniques in Computer vision and General AI.
• Must have experience in at least one of the deep learning frameworks such as Pytorch, Tensorflow, Keras, etc.
• Must have knowledge in at least one of the following deep learning models: Transformers, vision Transformers, CNNs, GANs.
• Experience working with Multi-modal foundation models.
• Experience working with computer vision models for object detection, semantic segmentation, depth estimation, or 3D reconstruction.
• Experience dealing with sensor data is a plus (camera, Lidar, radar).
• Experience with real and synthetic data curation for real problems is a plus.
• Ability to work with fast pace environments and implement new state of the art models.
• Must show attention to detail verbally and written.
