We work directly with some of the best operators in the world to identify high-impact opportunities to automate and augment with software. Our team owns problems end-to-end: we design the software, define the manufacturing processes, and ensure they can be executed reliably in our factories. The work spans computational geometry, CAD/CAM integrations, high-performance systems, and full-stack web tooling. We execute whatever is required to deliver a working solution and best serve our users. The DFM team within Copilot is building the manufacturing data intelligence layer that serves as the tip of the spear for our automation stack. This platform ingests, interprets, and reasons over the full spectrum of manufacturing data (mechanical drawings, quality documentation, CAD data) and transforms it into structured, actionable information for the factory. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will own the ML lifecycle for the detection and segmentation models at the core of our manufacturing intelligence pipeline., * Research, develop, and deploy cutting-edge object detection and segmentation models for layout analysis, document understanding, and semantic part understanding * Work alongside the core engineering team to build and maintain annotation tooling, implement active learning loops, and engineer synthetic data augmentation strategies * Develop evaluation frameworks to capture metrics that extend beyond mAP/IoU, precisely quantifying system behavior and user impact * Collaborate with the other members of the machine learning team to set the technical and product roadmaps for the AI platform * Burn down the long tail, as every percentage point of accuracy maps to man-years of time savings at our scale ## Related Videos - [How computers learn to see – Applying AI to industry](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/756-how-computers-learn-to-see-applying-ai-to-industry) - [Focoos AI: Building the Future of Computer Vision](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1659-focoos-ai-building-the-future-of-computer-vision) - [This App Reached 10,000 Users in One Week.
