Data Scientist

Job Title: Data Scientist

Experience Level: 10 Years

Location: Atlanta, GA (hybrid)

Duration: 12+ months

Client is seeking a tenured and highly skilled Data Scientist with deep expertise in Computer Vision and a strong foundation in AI/ML modeling. The ideal candidate will not only lead the development of intelligent vision systems but will also serve as a technical mentor, providing guidance to junior data scientists on model selection, optimization, and deployment strategies. Experience in domains such as energy, power generation, industrial equipment, or manufacturing will be considered a strong advantage, as the role involves solving real-world visual AI/ML problems in industrial environments.

• Lead CV Projects: Design and deliver Computer Vision models across a range of use cases (e.g., anomaly detection, visual inspections, OCR, predictive maintenance).
• Model Development: Develop, evaluate, and optimize state-of-the-art AI/ML models (e.g., CNNs, Vision Transformers, YOLO, Faster R-CNN, etc.).
• Mentorship: Guide junior and mid-level data scientists on best practices in feature engineering, model selection, evaluation metrics, and problem-solving strategies.
• Domain Translation: Translate complex industrial problems into AI-driven CV solutions that can scale in production environments.
• Collaboration: Work closely with software engineers, MLOps, and business teams to ensure model integration and operational success.
• Code Quality & Experimentation: Drive code modularity, reproducibility, and experimentation through use of ML pipelines, version control, and testing.
• Innovation & Research: Stay current with latest CV and AI/ML advancements and apply them appropriately to business problems.
• Stakeholder Communication: Present insights, models, and outcomes in a clear and impactful way to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of industry experience in building and deploying machine learning models, with a strong portfolio in Computer Vision.
• Deep expertise in ML frameworks and CV libraries such as PyTorch, Tensor Flow, OpenCV, Detectron2, MM Detection, etc.
• Solid understanding of core AI/ML algorithms – classification, regression, segmentation, object detection, time-series, clustering, etc.
• Experience with MLOps tools (e.g., MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow) and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Strong communication, leadership, and team collaboration skills.

• Prior experience in domains such as energy, utilities, power generation, or industrial systems is highly preferred.
• Experience deploying CV models within real-time environments.
• Contributions to open-source CV projects or published research.
