Job description

The Data Science team at Danone Digital Lab Singapore builds AI systems for digital health applications, including computer vision models deployed in consumer-facing products (e.g., growth tracking, rppg, fraility models).

We are looking for a Deep Learning intern with hands‑on experience in training and improving computer vision models, to work directly on production‑facing AI systems.

You will work on improving real-world AI models used in production.

Typical work includes:

• Designing and implementing improvements to computer vision models (e.g., classification, detection, segmentation models)
• Running experiments on model architecture, training strategies, and data pipelines
• Reviewing and implementing ideas from recent deep learning / CV literature
• Defining evaluation metrics and benchmarking model performance
• Working with real-world image datasets (noisy, imbalanced, imperfect)
• Works independently with minimal supervision and demonstrates strong task management and communication skills
• Presenting results and trade‑offs to technical and non‑technical stakeholders

To be successful in this role, you will need...

Required

• Strong Python programming skills for machine learning and deep learning workflows.
• Hands‑on experience developing, training, and evaluating deep learning models using TensorFlow or PyTorch.
• Experience with at least one computer vision task such as image classification, object detection, or image segmentation.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct experiments, including model architecture selection, hyperparameter tuning, error analysis, and performance evaluation.
• Please include a GitHub, portfolio, publication, or project repository showcasing your deep learning work.

Preferred

• Experience working with real‑world computer vision challenges, such as data augmentation, class imbalance, noisy labels, limited datasets, or domain adaptation.
• Experience with MLOps tooling (e.g., MLflow, Docker, CI/CD, model serving, experiment tracking) and/or deploying models into production environments.
• Ability to read research literature and reproduce, adapt, or extend published methods.
• Experience with modern computer vision architectures (e.g., CNNs, Vision Transformers, U‑Net, YOLO).
