  • Excellent at designing and deploying state-of-the-art computer vision and AI perception models including multi-modal approaches.
  • Excellent expertise in modern deep learning techniques, including transformer-based architectures, large Vision-language models (VLMs), Video generative models and diffusion algorithms or Vision Language Action models (VLAs) with hands-on experience training and fine-tuning such systems for scene understanding applications.
  • Strong track record of implementing and evaluating advanced AI algorithms for perception and scene understanding in real-world scenarios.
  • Strong practical experience across the MLOps pipeline—from data collection and curation to training, fine-tuning, and evaluation. 
  • Strong in fast prototyping, concept validation, and rapid iteration—you build to learn and use experimentation as a core development tool.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with the ability to write clean, and efficient code.
  • Experienced in leading R&D initiatives or small cross-functional teams, with a focus on transferring promising ideas into impactful products.
  • Strong in self-coordination and project ownership, able to structure your work independently, align with strategic goals, and deliver meaningful outcomes.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively share knowledge and insights.
Bonus Points
  • Experience with large scale machine learning compute systems.
  • Demonstrated coding, debugging, and engineering skills in writing modern C++.  
  • Good familiarity with GPU programming, performance benchmarking and optimization, to deploy on edge or cloud systems
We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
