Job Description
The Role
We are seeking a hands-on Machine Learning Engineer Intern to join our Model Engineering Team with a focus on Computer Vision and modern AI. This role is designed for builders who are passionate about training deep learning models, refining architectures, and scaling real-world vision systems.
You will work closely with experienced engineers on production-grade models, ranging from standard object detectors to cutting-edge zero-shot and open-vocabulary architectures. This is an ideal role for those who enjoy running experiments, analysing model behaviour, and driving measurable performance improvements.
What You’ll Do- Model Training & Fine-Tuning: Train, evaluate, and improve deep learning models across a variety of tasks, including classification, object detection, segmentation, and action recognition.
- Architecture & AI Exploration: Research and experiment with CNNs, Transformers, and Foundation Models. You will explore the integration of modern AI to enhance open-vocabulary detection and zero-shot capabilities.
- Failure Analysis & Data Refinement: Debug model failures (false positives/negatives) and implement solutions through targeted data annotation, cleaning, or improved inference strategies to ensure model robustness.
- Data & ML Engineering: Manage large-scale datasets, including preprocessing and versioning, to ensure high-fidelity and reproducible experiments.
- Pipeline Automation: Contribute to the development and optimization of automated training and evaluation pipelines to improve reliability and deployment efficiency.
- Builders: You prefer hands-on engineering and practical implementation over purely theoretical research.
- Experimenters: You enjoy the iterative process of testing different architectures, hyperparameters, and datasets to maximize performance.
- Problem Solvers: You are curious about root causes and enjoy the "detective work" required for model debugging and data-driven improvements.
- Pragmatists: You are excited to see your models and automated systems successfully deployed in real-world production environments.
- Pursuing or completed a degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
- Strong interest in deep learning model training, experimentation, and data-centric AI.
- Proficiency in Python and experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Competency in a Linux environment (SSH, shell scripting, and CLI-based file management).
- Hands-on Experience: Previous work with specialized CV frameworks or comparing multiple architectures.
- Modern AI Knowledge: Familiarity with vision-language models or zero-shot detection.
- MLOps Tools: Experience with Git, Docker, or experiment tracking tools (e.g., Weights & Biases, MLflow).
- Video Processing: Knowledge of OpenCV, FFmpeg, or handling video streams.
- Duration: Minimum 6 months (flexible).
- Commitment: 4–5 days per week.
- Location: Singapore-based. Please note that due to the nature of the role, the position is considered only for candidates who are based in Singapore or have experience studying and/or working in Singapore.
