The Role

Overview

Develop ML/DL solutions, lead a team, and build data-driven products for subsea inspection.

Key Responsibilities

  • algorithm development
  • data modeling
  • solution architecture
  • data mining
  • predictive modeling
  • team leadership

Tasks

-Develop an awareness of programming and design alternatives -Plans and evaluates architectural design and identifies technical risks and associated ways to mitigate those risks. -Prepares design proposals to reflect cost, schedule, and technical approaches. -Assess the effectiveness and accuracy of new data sources and data gathering techniques. -Work both independently and collaboratively to develop custom data models and algorithms to apply on data sets that will be deployed in existing and new products. -Work directly with software engineers to implement algorithms into commercial software products. -Lead and supervise a team of moderately experienced engineers on product/prototype design & development assignments or applications. -Gather statistics and prepare and write reports on the status of the programming process for discussion with management and/or team members -Direct research on emerging application development software products, languages, and standards in support of procurement and development efforts -Mine and analyze data from company databases to drive optimization and improvement of product development, marketing techniques and business strategies. -Recommends test control, strategies, apparatus, and equipment. -Prepares data for predictive and prescriptive modeling. -Architect solutions by selection of appropriate technology and components -Develop, construct, test, and maintain architectures. -Lead research activities for ongoing government and commercial projects and products. Collaborate on proposals, grants, and publications in algorithm development. Collect data as warranted to support the algorithm development efforts. -Work with third parties to utilize off the shelf industrial solutions. -Ensures that others involved in a project or effort are kept informed about developments and plans -Build data models and organize structured and unstructured data to interpret solutions. -Train, manage and provide guidance to junior staff -Determines the technical direction and strategy for solving complex, significant, or major issues.
