We strive to deliver the best results and deliver work that we are all proud of. We enjoy our work, contribute and make ourselves heard. More importantly, we have a laugh and fun whilst doing it!

We’re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help us automate visual inspections using computer vision. You’ll work on tools that analyse images of industrial assets, like wind turbines or power lines, to detect issues early and reduce the need for hazardous manual inspections.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and improve machine learning models that detect defects in images.
• Use and manage image datasets for training ML models.
• Work closely with software engineers to deploy models in real-world applications.
• Monitor and enhance model performance over time in production.

What We’re Looking For:

• MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or Computer Vision (or BSc plus 2+ years of relevant experience).
• Hands-on experience with ML tools like OpenCV, PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Solid understanding of data handling and cleaning techniques.
• Experience in detecting objects or patterns in images.
• Comfortable working with databases and writing clean, well-tested code.

What We Value:

• Curiosity, practical thinking, and a passion for building solutions that bring real business value.
• Ownership of your work from idea to production.
• Clear communication and a collaborative mindset.
