Santa Ana, California, United States Kinetic Full time $120,000 - $200,000 per year
About the role

You will be a part of a small, production-minded ML team based in Orange County/Oakland. You'll collaborate with other engineers and researchers to develop, evaluate, and help deploy vision models for tasks like semantic/instance segmentation and object/damage detection across 2D and 3D data.

Experience & Skills Required
  • BS or MS in CS, EE, Math, or a related field with solid deep-learning coursework or projects (e.g., grad-level ML/CV/DL or equivalent independent work).
  • Hands-on experience training and evaluating deep models for segmentation and detection in PyTorch (or similar), including data prep, augmentations, losses, and metrics (IoU/AP).
  • Working knowledge of transformer and LLM building blocks applied to vision, including self-attention, positional encodings, tokenization, and mapping these ideas to vision models (e.g., ViT, DETR, Mask2Former).
  • Practical exposure to 3D/depth data, including familiarity with point clouds, camera geometry (intrinsics/extrinsics), basic calibration, and multi-view geometry.
  • Proficiency in Python and the relevant tech stack: PyTorch, torchvision, Detectron2 or MMDetection/Segmentation, and Hugging Face Transformers.
  • Experience with Python services (FastAPI/Flask), Docker, and AWS services (S3, Batch/EC2, ECR) is preferred.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to write tidy PRs, experiment logs, and short design notes to ensure reproducibility.
Responsibilities
  • Collaborate on model development by implementing training loops, losses, augmentations, and evaluations using PyTorch.
  • Keep current with the industry by summarizing relevant papers and PRs, and proposing small, testable improvements.
  • Contribute to datasets by helping define labeling guidelines, curating splits, running quality checks, and maintaining data versioning.
  • Run experiments to track metrics, perform ablations, write clear experiment notes, and present findings.
  • Provide production support by exporting models, writing basic inference code, adding tests, and assisting with performance profiling.
  • Work cross-functionally, partnering with backend engineers on APIs, containers, and CI, and with ops/labeling teams on edge cases and feedback loops.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Comprehensive health and dental insurance
  • Retirement savings plan.
  • Paid time off and holidays
