## About the Role

* 6+ years of experience building computer vision systems in Python, with tools such as OpenCV, NumPy, and PyTorch (or equivalents)
 * Solid grounding in classical computer vision: feature extraction and matching, geometric transformations, image registration, and robust estimation (e.g., RANSAC)
 * Solid grounding in ML and ML-based computer vision: CNNs, transformers, embedding spaces
 * Hands-on experience preparing datasets and training, fine-tuning, and evaluating vision-based models
 * Start Up Ready: autonomous, moves fast, takes initiative without being asked
 * Strong verbal and written communication, able to articulate ideas clearly and collaborate effectively
 * A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (B.S. or M.S.), * Experience working with messy real-world imagery - scanned documents, OCR outputs, low-quality rasters - is a huge plus
 * Familiarity with geospatial tooling (GDAL/rasterio, coordinate reference systems)
 * Experience integrating VLM/LLM APIs into production workflows
 * Experience with MLOps

## Description

As a small team, we all wear many hats and enjoy tackling new challenges. When it comes to tech, we're seeking experienced individuals who can efficiently identify problems and devise solutions. As a Computer Vision Engineer, you will get the chance to work on challenging problems that directly contribute to the scalability of CivilGrid's products, and be one of the first engineers shaping CivilGrid's computer vision capabilities.

This role reports to the Head of Strategic Initiatives. It is a hybrid role with expectations that you are working from our Boston, MA office at least 3 days per week if hired.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

 * Explore our data and workflows to identify opportunities where CV/ML-based solutions can have the most impact
 * Apply classical computer vision techniques - feature matching, geometric transformations, image registration - to build internal and customer-facing features
 * Prepare training data, and train, fine-tune, and validate vision-based models
 * Develop cross-technology solutions that combine VLMs, vision-based models, and classical CV to solve problems no single approach can
 * Ship CV pipelines that can be continuously monitored and validated, with evaluation harnesses and quality metrics built in from day one
