The Team : Deep Learning R&D Advanced Vision Technology
This position is for a Scientist in the AI R&D group in the Advanced Vision Technology organization. As a Scientist on this team, you will be responsible for researching, designing, implementing and deploying state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms for industrial machine vision applications, with a mission to innovate on behalf of customers and make this technology accessible to a broad range of users and platforms.
You will apply the latest trends in computer vision and natural language processing algorithms, including transformers and generative AI, to solve real world problems in the manufacturing industry such as defect inspection, barcode decoding, robotic guidance, image generation, etc.
In this role, you will work alongside machine vision experts in software and hardware engineering, product, sales and marketing working on a range of problems across different industries, including consumer goods, aerospace, automotive, logistics pharmaceuticals, robotics, and electronics.
Your research will typically span questions like :
What are the best neural network architectures to solve real world vision problems in industrial manufacturing?
How can we make neural networks run faster on low-powered devices?
How can we adapt neural networks to new tasks and products quickly in low data settings?
How can we adopt the latest trends in the fields of speech and natural language processing and apply them to computer vision problems?
How can we combine traditional computer vision algorithms with deep learning technology, to solve a wider range of problems?
How do we productize advanced technology while making it easy for non- data-scientists to deploy on their production lines?
Within the team, development is primarily done in Python. Engineers in this group typically have experience with deep learning, image analysis, machine vision, statistical learning, or signal processing.
Success in this role has the potential to lead to increased responsibility at Cognex.
