Job description

Senior AI Engineer -- Computer Vision (Manufacturing)

This is a contract!

Work:

We're hiring a hands-on AI Engineer to build and deploy computer vision models for a manufacturing client.

The focus is on detecting defects on production lines (scratches, cracks, misalignment, etc.) using image/video data and getting those models into real production environments.

This is a practical, impact-driven role --- not research.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Build and train computer vision models for defect detection
  • Work with image and video data from production environments
  • Deploy models into real-time or near real-time systems
  • Improve model accuracy and performance over time
  • Partner with engineering teams to integrate models into live workflows

What They're Looking For:

  • Strong experience in computer vision / object detection
  • Python + PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Experience deploying ML models into production
  • Experience working with real-world image data
  • Exposure to YOLO or similar object detection frameworks
  • Experience with OpenCV
  • Familiarity with GPU environments or edge deployment
  • Any manufacturing or industrial experience

Details:

  • Fully remote (US-based)
  • 40 hrs/week
  • 12-month contract (possible extension)
  • $100--$130/hr (W2 or LLC only)
  • No C2C
