Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · Berlin

The role
As a senior machine learning engineer at micropsi industries, you will help us develop the core technology that drives our groundbreaking ML-powered robot control system MIRAI. As part of our team, you will develop new approaches at the intersection of deep learning, computer vision and robotics (robot learning), bring them all the way to production and take responsibility for parts of our in-house training infrastructure.

Your interests and skills span from following the current research in our field to practical software development: You know how to create and ship robust deep learning models with the usual tools and libraries, and your experience in collaborating on larger software projects with other people allows you to easily bring your ideas to our production codebase and internal tools. We prize a habit of reading code, learning new stuff, asking for help and helping others.

You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with our entire team of software developers, mathematicians, robotics- and machine learning engineers, as well as our product designers and our industrial engineers working with MIRAI in the field. Ours is a friendly, motivated and international team, working from our Berlin office with a flexible remote work policy.
Responsibilities
  • Improve our core machine learning models and training pipeline: Make MIRAI faster, more sample-efficient or teach it entirely new tricks in the robot lab
  • Help to maintain and develop our ML codebase and associated in-house tooling
  • Contribute to the long-term evolution of this technology by staying current on the science, trying new things, and joining the development discussion
Minimum Requirements
  • Proven experience in creating and shipping deep learning models for computer vision, ideally using Tensorflow (alas)
  • Substantial practical software development experience (by this we roughly mean git, bash, debuggers, profilers, a taste for reader-friendly code, self-reliance in mastering an unfamiliar codebase, being a reasonable code reviewer and reviewee, google-fu, etc)
  • Willingness to own code and ideas from initial prototypes to production
  • Great communication skills in writing and in person - a thoughtful listener and a precise writer
  • Degree in computer science or related fields or equivalent experience
Nice-to-Haves
  • Hands on experience with robot control, 3D graphics or other geometry-heavy fields
  • Interest or experience in the dev ops space and/or high performance compute clusters (e.g. Ansible, Slurm)
  • Interest or experience in engaging with the academic community in computer vision, robot learning and ML generally
Benefits
  • Thirty days of paid vacation
  • Generous remote-work policy and flexible schedule
  • Public transportation subsidy
  • Personal development budget for training 
  • Discount on your Urban Sports Club membership
  • Support with visa application processes and relocation
  • Company pension plan (optional)
  • Discounts on products and services from Corporate Benefits
About us
Micropsi Industries is a robotics software company that brings artificial intelligence to robots. We make a product called MIRAI, a first-of-its-kind robot control system that, using machine learning, supplies industrial robots with the capacity to perceive their work environment and adapt to changing conditions. MIRAI can be used in manufacturing, lab automation, logistics, and other fields. Through MIRAI, Micropsi Industries enables automation where automation was previously not viable, making factories more productive, workspaces more ergonomic, and businesses more resilient.
 
Ours is a curious, friendly, no-nonsense team that relishes finding elegant solutions to tough problems, be they technical, mathematical, strategic, or design-related. We like to learn for the sake of learning. We put a premium on personal development.
 
Micropsi Industries comprises about 55 people, among them robotics engineers, software engineers, cognitive scientists, business developers, and designers. We are headquartered in Berlin, and we have an office in San Francisco. The company is backed by Metaplanet, Project A Ventures, Coparion, Vito Ventures, Merck Ventures, Vsquared Ventures, Ahren Innovation Capital, Amplifier, as well as a group of experienced business angels from Munich and Berlin. In 2022, Micropsi Industries received the Deep Tech Award for outstanding achievement.
