Job summary

Innovasea in Canada is seeking an experienced Computer Vision Engineer (Algorithm Development) to shape the next generation of ocean farming products using underwater perception, 3D vision, and modern deep learning.

You will lead design, development, evaluation, and deployment of CV algorithms for real-time perception in challenging underwater environments, collaborating with software and hardware teams to deliver production-ready solutions.

Qualifications

• Experience building training/evaluation pipelines and managing datasets.
• Strong Python for ML and C++ for production integration.
• Experience with PyTorch and ML deployment tools.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals and CI/CD basics.
• Excellent cross-functional communication.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement computer vision and deep learning algorithms for underwater applications (detection, tracking, segmentation, pose/key points, 3D reconstruction).
• Develop robust underwater image enhancement and domain adaptation approaches (color correction, dehazing, low-light, turbidity robustness).
• Create scalable training and evaluation pipelines: dataset curation, labeling workflows, augmentation, model training.
• Define and track algorithm KPIs and run ablation studies to drive improvement.
• Optimize models for real-time deployment on edge hardware (Jetson / GPU): quantization, pruning, TensorRT, batching, profiling.
• Collaborate with software/hardware teams to integrate models into production systems (APIs, streaming pipelines, monitoring, versioning).
• Work with marine biology and ocean engineering stakeholders to ensure outputs support fish well-being and scientific validity.
• Travel domestically/internationally for R&D site work, system validation, and customer visits.
