Job description

About The Job

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

About You

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).
