PerPlant is a startup on a mission to democratize AI in agriculture by offering a cost-effective, plug-and-play AI-based camera sensor to optimize pesticide and fertilizer use and increase harvest yield. Our goal is to support sustainable farming practices with innovative technology and actionable data. In this role, you will develop and implement cutting-edge computer vision algorithms for Edge applications. You will focus on real-time plant count, crop type and stage classification, non-crop area classification and localization (sand spots, stones, water suffering areas, tractor tracks, field boundaries), weed detection, and other related tasks.

As a Deep Learning Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development of our product’s real-time perception stack and launch of advanced features.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, your key responsibilities will include:

• Designing and developing complete Deep learning pipeline(Data acquisition, Pre-Processing, Training, Validation, Deployment) for real-time image and video analysis.
• Implementing and optimizing models on Edge devices with limited computational resources.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define project requirements and deliverables.
• Analyzing and evaluating the performance of deep learning models and algorithms.
• Improving and optimizing existing models and algorithms.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience of 3+ years in developing production-level Deep learning-based multi-task perception models.
• Proven Experience with deploying models on Edge devices and limited computational resources (Nvidia Jetson or other similar).
• Strong proficiency in C++ (for model deployment, re-simulation, pre/post-processing) & Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and other deep learning frameworks.
• Familiarity with Sensor Fusion, Localization, ROS, and 3D reconstruction or overall working in Robotics perception applications or Automated driving systems will be nice to have.
• Experience with software documentation, tracking (ex: Jira) and versioning tools.

What do we offer:

• Competitive Salary and Employee stock options in a fast-growing company.
