Primary Responsibilities

• Ability to read, evaluate, and prototype techniques described in scientific papers in data mining and computer vision
• Experiment, evaluate, develop, and implement new algorithms
• Ability to solve tough problems, come up with new solutions, and work independently as well as in a group.
• Be able to take ownership of projects on data mining, from collecting the data, meeting with clients to learn about their problem, and create models for them.
• Be a quick learner, be startup minded, and have the ability to apply the techniques to diverse types of data and fields.
• Conduct academic and market research to stay abreast and ahead of trends in all areas that pertain to our core and peripheral technologies.
• Help assess and communicate risks associated with technology-related strategies and approaches
• Where necessary, oversee and develop patenting of intellectual property, inventions, and business processes.

Position Requirements
