As a Machine Learning Expert at Leaficient, you will play a crucial role in designing and building our foundational data pipelines, processes, and models. Your work will focus on applying innovative concepts from the world of computer vision to understand, predict, and control plant growth. This position requires developing software that operates within farms, taking into account real-world constraints. You will need to be familiar with a broad range of computer vision, signal processing, and optimization techniques, and have a principled approach to downsample and implement the correct algorithm for the job. In this role, you will be responsible for developing computer vision models to detect and classify plants, as well as building a large training dataset for these models. You will have a foundational role in building and defining all aspects of data and machine learning systems. Your contributions will be vital in helping indoor farmers leverage modern robotics and data science to expand the scope and competitiveness of indoor-grown crops, ultimately addressing the challenges posed by climate change on outdoor farming productivity.
