Computer Vision Engineer

Monarch Crops is seeking a Computer Vision Engineer to develop interpretable and auditable measurements from behavioral-assay videos. The role focuses on detecting and tracking mosquitoes and insects, building labeled datasets and evaluation methods, quantifying uncertainty, creating quality-control tools, and collaborating with entomologists and lab teams.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and validate methods for detecting and tracking multiple mosquitoes in top-mounted behavioral-assay video
• Derive cumulative landing-zone occupancy, trajectories, spatial distribution, entry and exit rates, dwell time, and other interpretable behavioral features
• Build representative labeled datasets and error analyses across labs, cameras, lighting conditions, arenas, mosquito densities, and occlusion patterns
• Quantify confidence and route uncertain or anomalous results to efficient human review rather than silently producing a score
• Design visual overlays and quality-control tools that let scientists inspect how each measurement was produced
• Work with entomologists and lab teams to improve camera placement, assay geometry, capture standards, and the behavior labels that matter scientifically
