AI Engineer

At Armada, we are unlocking the limitless potential of AI to transform operations and improve lives in some of the most remote locations on Earth. From the expansive mines of Australia to the oil fields of Northern Canada, and the coffee plantations of Colombia, Armada offers a unique opportunity to tackle exciting AI and ML challenges on a global scale. We are actively seeking passionate AI Engineers with hands-on expertise across a range of domains, including real-time computer vision, statistical machine learning, natural language processing, transformers, control and navigation, reinforcement learning, and large-scale distributed AI systems.

Ideal candidates will possess strong skills in machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and real-time computer vision techniques. You will be responsible for building ML/DL models tailored to specific challenges, preparing datasets for testing, evaluating model performance, and deploying solutions in production environments. Familiarity with containerization, microservices architecture, and the ability to independently deploy ML models into production is essential.

If you are a self-driven individual with a passion for cutting-edge AI, we want to hear from you. Armada offers an unparalleled opportunity to confront some of the most thrilling AI and ML challenges in the world. Join our dynamic AI Engineering team as we deliver disruptive edge-compute systems capable of autonomous learning, prediction, and adaptation using vast, real-time datasets.

We are pioneers in developing high-performance computing solutions for self-driving cars, camera networks, robotics, drones, conversational agents, and real-time monitoring and diagnostic systems. Our vision is to empower AI systems to seamlessly and securely interact with the complexities and uncertainties of the real world, and our mission is to bridge the digital divide in the process. 

Key Responsibilities
