About the job
Under the supervision of the Product lead (CEO) and the AI architect, and in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team composed of plant scientists, software engineers, aerospace engineers, mechanical engineer, architects and material scientists, you will research and develop innovative intelligent algorithms to autonomize every aspects of tomorrow’s bioregenerative habitats for Earth & Mars. With your hacker mentality, you can understand, adapt and tackle intelligence at all stack level of our habitats, from the lower level adaptative control, to crop selection and scheduling, to higher level station monitoring and predictive maintenance. You are not afraid by the word optimisation and you are a software product lover who is ready to deliver value along our product’s journey to Mars.
More precisely, you will:
-
- Improve our crop selection and scheduling algorithm/product for the stations.
- Improve, develop and deploy cutting edge machine learning algorithms for system automation and control based on sensor data.
- Develop computer vision solutions for predictive maintenance of the dome and for monitoring crop health.
- Investigate and develop algorithm for future indoor farming robots’ technologies.
- Constantly keep track of the last advances in AI (articles, blogposts, conferences…).
- Help to document and communicate the AI vision and ethics of the company (cf. AI safety).
- Contribute to applied research paper in conferences in our domain of expertise.
Minimum qualifications:
-
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or relative technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Good experience in software design with python, from research to product, or a more general-purpose language like Go, MATLAB, C/C++.
- Experience and good mathematical understanding of:
- machine learning algorithms (cf. scikit-learn).
- deep learning models for computer vision, voice recognition and control, and time series data (cf. torchvision/torchaudio)
- reinforcement learning algorithms (cf. stable baselines).
- combinatorial optimisation algorithms.
- Work permit in Europe.
- Full professional proficiency in English. French is optional.
Preferred qualifications:
-
- MS degree or PHD in Computer science, Robotics, Mathematics, Physics, Computational Neurosciences or Robotics.
- 2 years+ experience in designing, developing and deploying deep learning, reinforcement learning or innovative machine learning models.
- Experience in applying AI to combinatorial problems.
- We would love to see experience with AI applied to robotics and mechatronics.
- We would love to see experience with AI applied to sensor data and system automation.
Soft skills:
-
- Passionate and curious about space technologies, green technologies, artificial intelligence and/or neurosciences.
- Deep drive for solving tomorrow’s humanity challenges.
- Strong learning capacity, adaptation and communication skills.
- Emotional intelligence with empathy.
- Pedagogical and willing to share knowledge with other fields.
