Support development of computer vision and machine learning algorithms capable of detection, classifying, localizing, and tracking objects-of-interest from a group 1 UAV using the existing gimballed camera payload
Write and test software to support the integration of machine learning algorithms into aircraft (such as autopilots, payloads, or other functional components) or other robotic systems.
Explore and visualize data to gain an understanding of it, then identifying differences in data distribution that could affect.
Implement Machine Learning systems and validate designs through a series of purpose-designed experiments.
Create objectives and develop models that help to achieve them, along with metrics to track their progress.
Perform analysis tasks using AeroVironment and industry developed tools.
Managing available resources such as hardware, data, and personnel so that deadlines are met.
Analyze the ML algorithms to solve a given problem and ranking them by their success probability. Performance when deploying the model in the real world; Verify data quality, and/or ensure it via data cleaning.
Analyze the errors of the model and designing strategies to overcome them.
Study and transform data science prototypes; Research and implement appropriate ML algorithms and tools.
Select appropriate datasets and data representation methods; Run machine learning tests and experiments.
Works on problems of moderate scope where analysis of situations or data requires a review of variety of factors. Exercises judgment within defined procedures and practices to determine appropriate action.
Other duties as assigned.
