Descrizione del lavoro

Our mission

Aquabyte is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming more efficient and viable, we aim to promote healthy (for the fish and environment) production of low carbon protein and mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea and preserve it for generations to come.

We are a diverse, mission-driven team that is eager to work alongside kindred spirits. If this vision inspires you please get in touch.

Our product

We are currently focused on helping salmon farmers better understand their fish population and make environmentally sound decisions. Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect the health status, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

Above all, Aquabyte is a customer-driven company. Our product development is dictated by the needs of fish farmers and we prioritize customer delight in everything we do. We are committed to building a global, collaborative team.

The role

Aquabyte’s AI team builds the computer vision and machine learning systems that observe millions of fish daily through our underwater camera fleet. We estimate fish weight via stereo 3D reconstruction, detect health conditions, and optimize feeding in real time. Our systems operate across on-site edge hardware, cloud pipelines and a customer-facing application.

As a Research Intern, you will collaborate closely with scientists and engineers on the AI team to work on an end-to-end research project at the intersection of computer vision and aquaculture. You will have the opportunity to work in a small, experienced team with domain expertise, and have access to data, resources and mentorship to complete an impactful R&D project that involves deciding methods, designing experiments, training models, and presenting your findings. Everything we do is connected to broader company goals so by the end of your internship we want this project to be ready to be deployed so that it can have impact across farms worldwide.
