Company Description

Why TOMRA?

TOMRA is a world leader in optical and electronic sorting equipment. TOMRA Sorting Solutions is a dynamic company with an outstanding product line and an excellent level of customer satisfaction.

Why is it worthwhile to start and stay at TOMRA? Quite simply, we are a steadily growing international company that has retained its family atmosphere. Our corporate culture is Norwegian, which means there is no hierarchical thinking. If you are interested in titles and hierarchy you are at the wrong place here. We see a bright future in economic terms. Aside from that, it´s nice to know that our recycling machines are helping to make the world cleaner.

At TOMRA, we place significant emphasis on maximizing resource value and utilization, which contributes to the concept of the circular economy: an economic system designed to keep products, components and materials at their highest value throughout their life cycles within a closed loop.

Technology plays a crucial role in achieving this, with advances in certain fields helping to bring about new approaches that can help maximize the value of resources and – crucially – reduce waste.

OUR ROLE

TOMRA’s sensor-based solutions play a key role in optimizing resource productivity, particularly in the fields of waste management and recycling, where sensor-based technology can be used to increase precision and streamline processes.

To achieve the ambitious aim of a circular economy, it is necessary to employ state-of-the-art approaches that push boundaries, and TOMRA’s reverse vending and waste sorting solutions help to achieve this by recovering materials and providing valuable insight into the composition of these materials.

The result is a greater understanding of where efficiencies can be made to minimize costs and waste, and better utilize resources within a closed loop – further mitigating the impact of CO2 and other emissions and inefficiencies.

Job Description

The Deep Learning Team builds the tooling to create deep learning models for TOMRA’s sensor-based sorting and analysis systems. This includes data organization and processing, as well as tools and infrastructure to train and deploy deep learning models, screening scientific deep learning improvements, and realization of improvements for industrial sorting systems. Other internal teams will use these tools to create deep learning models to solve real-world sorting problems.

We are looking for a working student to support the Deep Learning Team in building our Deep Learning Platform. This will include:

• Building and maintaining tooling to improve the Deep Learning Plattform
• Maintain and evolve the inference service used on our platform
• Prototype new services
• Support in maintenance and development of our infrastructure
• This is not a data science position

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s student in Computer Science, or a related field
• Solid programming skills in Python and knowledge of Linux
• Good understanding of network infrastructure
• Proven track record of personal projects, GitHub repositories, certifications
• Good knowledge of containerization, especially Docker
• Knowledge of Kubernetes is a plus
• Familiarity with version control tools (Git, GitHub, or GitLab)
• Self-motivated, disciplined, and strong problem-solving skills
• Effective communication skills for collaboration and reporting
