• Implement full-scale Machine Learning (ML) pipelines from data ingestion and cleaning to model development, deployment, and monitoring to ensure robust, scalable, and maintainable solutions.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including engineers, surveyors, data scientists, and maritime experts, to identify challenges and deploy AI solutions.
• Stay abreast with cutting-edge AI advancements, experiment with new frameworks and techniques, and share best practices across teams and with stakeholders.
• Lead testing, deployment, and optimization of AI applications to meet performance and security requirements.
• Provide technical support, training, and guidance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

 

What You Will Need:

Education and Experience

• Minimum bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field. A Master’s or PhD is preferred.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in AI/ML development and deployment, preferably in a relevant field.
• Solid understanding of the maritime and offshore industry, including operational needs and challenges, is preferred.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, C++).
• Experience with machine learning and deep learning libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and data processing tools (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn).
• Knowledge of advanced AI topics like computer vision (CNNs, object detection), PINNs, generative models (GANs, VAEs), LLMs, NLP, or time-series analysis.
• Familiarity with model deployment and MLOps (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP) to build production-ready solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to develop, deploy, and maintain AI solutions in real-world settings (e.g., handling large-scale data, optimizing model performance).
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and self-motivation with a results-oriented mindset.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment and with non-technical stakeholders.
