Inviting applications for the role of Senior Principal Consultant - Data Scientists with Computer vision experience!
We are seeking a tenured and highly skilled Data Scientist with deep expertise in Computer Vision and a strong foundation in AI / ML modeling. The ideal candidate will not only lead the development of intelligent vision systems but will also serve as a technical mentor, providing guidance to junior data scientists on model selection, optimization, and deployment strategies. Experience in domains such as energy, power generation, industrial equipment, or manufacturing will be considered a strong advantage, as the role involves solving real-world visual AI / ML problems in industrial environments.
Key Responsibilities :
Lead CV Projects : Design and deliver Computer Vision models across a range of use cases (e.g., anomaly detection, visual inspections, OCR, predictive maintenance).
Model Development : Develop, evaluate, and optimize state-of-the-art AI / ML models (e.g., CNNs, Vision Transformers, YOLO, Faster R-CNN, etc.).
Mentorship : Guide junior and mid-level data scientists on best practices in feature engineering, model selection, evaluation metrics, and problem-solving strategies.
Domain Translation : Translate complex industrial problems into AI-driven CV solutions that can scale in production environments.
Collaboration : Work closely with software engineers, MLOps , and business teams to ensure model integration and operational success.
Code Quality & Experimentation : Drive code modularity, reproducibility, and experimentation through use of ML pipelines, version control, and testing.
Innovation & Research : Stay current with latest CV and AI / ML advancements and apply them appropriately to business problems.
Stakeholder Communication : Present insights, models, and outcomes in a clear and impactful way to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
