Job Description
- Multilingual Speech & Audio Processing for Agricultural and Livestock Use Cases
- Build and evaluate ASR systems optimized for agricultural domain content and rural speech patterns.
- Work with targeted ASR models such as Whisper, Azure Cognitive Services, Speechmatics, or Wav2Vec-based systems.
- Develop pipelines for multilingual transcription, diarization, noise handling, and accent robustness.
- Validate transcription accuracy with field recordings, user-submitted audio, and noisy environments.
- Computer Vision Models for Crop & Livestock Use Cases
- Develop and evaluate computer vision models for crop and livestock use cases, including crop disease/pest detection, animal identification, livestock health assessment, body condition, behaviour and activity monitoring.
- Build image and video processing pipelines for real-world farmer-submitted content, including low-light, blur, noise, varying camera angles and other challenging field conditions.
- Work with models such as CLIP, Vision Transformers, YOLO, Mask R-CNN, DINO or similar architectures for detection, classification, segmentation and visual assessment.
- Security, Safety & Compliance
- Test vision and audio models against adversarial inputs, spoofing, and data leakage risks specific to image and speech pipelines.
- Collaborate with security teams to ensure compliance with data privacy frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.).
- Implement input validation, content filtering, and anomaly detection for audio and image submissions.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration & Mentorship
- Translate product requirements into model tasks and evaluation strategies for voice and vision pipelines.
- Mentor junior engineers in ASR and computer vision model evaluation, fine-tuning, and deployment.
- Partner with backend, DevOps, and product teams to deliver production-ready features and prototypes.
