Research Scientist, Computer Vision — AI for Construction

Attentive.ai; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 170,000 - 275,000; Full time

Job summary

Attentive.ai in the United States is seeking a Research Scientist to advance computer vision, deep learning, and NLP that power automated takeoff and estimation. You will join the early US research team and own research problems end to end, taking models from concept to production.

You will build models for object detection, semantic segmentation, and structured extraction on construction drawings, and design evaluation frameworks while staying current with ML research relevant to field services.

Qualifications

• 2–8 years of applied ML or AI research with a strong focus on computer vision and deep learning.
• Depth in at least one of: object detection, image segmentation, image processing, OCR and layout analysis, self-supervised or representation learning, or multimodal / vision-language models
• Experience training and evaluating neural networks at scale, and at least one model you've taken to production
• Strong Python and PyTorch, across the modeling, training loop and the data pipeline
• Practical GPU and distributed training experience
• Judgment about data: what to label, what to synthesize, what to discard
• The ability to read current research critically and say what's worth trying

Responsibilities

• Own research problems end to end: framing, data, experiments, ablations, and the model that ships
• Advance deep learning models for object detection, semantic segmentation, and structured extraction on vector and raster construction drawings
• Build multimodal systems combining visual layout, geometry, and text
• Design evaluation frameworks to continuously improve the model
• Stay current with computer vision and ML research and evaluate what's relevant to construction-industry problems
