  • Perform feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter optimization to yield high predictive accuracy and deploy the model to production in a cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environment
  • Implement best practices and patterns for geospatial machine learning and develop reusable technical components for demonstrations and rapid prototyping
  • Keep up to date with the latest technology trends in machine and deep learning and incorporate them in project delivery

Requirements

  • 1+ years of professional experience in a similar position, supporting similar responsibilities
  • Professional experience with practical machine learning experience or relevant academic/lab work
  • Hands-on relevant experience in generative AI, large language models, and/or agentic systems
