## About the Role

* 2-8 years of applied machine learning or AI research experience with a strong focus on computer vision and deep learning. We'll calibrate level and compensation to what you've built.
 * Depth in at least one of: object detection, image segmentation, image processing, OCR and layout analysis, self-supervised or representation learning, or multimodal / vision-language models
 * Experience training and evaluating neural networks at scale, and at least one model you've taken to production
 * Strong Python and PyTorch, across the modeling, training loop and the data pipeline
 * Practical GPU and distributed training experience
 * Judgment about data: what to label, what to synthesize, what to discard
 * The ability to read current research critically and say what's worth trying

Nice to have:

 * Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
 * Familiarity with vector graphics and CAD formats (SVG, DXF, DWG, IFC)
 * LLM and NLP experience like structured extraction, retrieval over long documents
 * Publications or open-source contributions in computer vision or deep learning
 * Experience with cloud environments (GCP, AWS, or Azure), * Empirical over theoretical - we'd rather run the experiment than argue about it, We are hiring Research Scientists across multiple levels, with opportunities for candidates ranging from approximately 2-8 years of relevant experience; level and compensation will be aligned with experience, research depth, and impact.

## Description

As a Research Scientist, you'll advance computer vision, deep learning, and NLP that power automated takeoff and estimation. The core problem is unsolved: a plan set is hundreds of pages drafted to dozens of CAD conventions, where the same primitive is a wall, a hatch pattern, or a leader line depending on context a model has to infer.

You'd be an early member of the US research team, which means real influence over the directions we pursue. You'll own research problems end to end and take models to production.

What You'll Do

 * Own research problems end to end: framing, data, experiments, ablations, and the model that ships
 * Advance deep learning models for object detection, semantic segmentation, and structured extraction on vector and raster construction drawings
 * Build multimodal systems combining visual layout, geometry, and text
 * Design evaluation frameworks to continuously improve the model
 * Stay current with computer vision and ML research and evaluate what's relevant to construction-industry problems
