About the role
ML Engineers at Mach9 build perception models for an AI-enabled CAD system, extracting 3D object and line features from dense LiDAR point clouds and imagery. Role combines research and production, from prototyping to deployed features, partnering with infra and product teams.
Responsibilities
- Design, train, and evaluate computer vision and 3D ML models for extracting CAD-grade geometry and features from dense LiDAR and imagery.
- Drive ML research that translates directly into product capabilities: prototyping new approaches, running experiments, and identifying what’s shippable.
- Own models through the full product lifecycle: problem framing, data strategy, training, evaluation, and final integration into our cloud-based CAD software, Digital Surveyor.
- Develop evaluation methodology and metrics that reflect real surveying and engineering accuracy requirements.
- Work with ML infrastructure engineers to scale training and inference of your models and with product teams to align your model’s behavior with what the user wants.
Qualifications
- Master's or PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
- Strong foundation in computer vision and deep learning, with hands-on experience training models for segmentation, detection, or 3D understanding.
- Experience taking a ML model from research/prototype to production, not just publishing or benchmarking.
- Working knowledge of geometric concepts relevant to 3D perception like coordinate systems and 3D transforms.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with researchers, other engineers and product stakeholders.
- Proficient with Python and a production-quality ML library like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
