• Deep Learning Foundation: Strong mathematical and architectural understanding of deep learning concepts specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and standard object detection architectures.
  
• Framework Mastery: Deep hands-on expertise with TensorFlow 2.x and/or PyTorch.
  
• Edge ML: Proven experience optimizing deep learning models for edge devices using TFLite (e.g. post-training quantization pruning handling custom ops).
  
• GCP MLOps: Strong proficiency in Google Cloud Platform specifically building and running custom components in Vertex AI Pipelines (KFP).
  
• Programming: Advanced programming skills in Python with experience containerizing ML workloads using Docker.
  
• Cloud Infrastructure: Solid understanding of Google Cloud Storage (GCS) for managing massive datasets and handling model artifact hand-offs.
  
• Critical thinking Effective communication skills verbal and written Problem solving and Dealing with complexity
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• YOLO Expertise: Hands-on experience with the Ultralytics YOLOv8 ecosystem specifically bridging PyTorch YOLO weights to TensorFlow/TFLite edge deployments.
  
• Data Orchestration: Experience using Google Cloud Composer (Apache Airflow) to schedule and trigger complex ML training pipelines based on data arrival or model drift.
  
• Scalable Data Processing: Familiarity with Google Cloud Dataflow (Apache Beam) for large-scale parallelized image preprocessing augmentation and dataset formatting (e.g. generating TFRecords).
  
• CI/CD for ML: Experience with continuous integration and continuous deployment practices specifically tailored for machine learning models.
  
• Generative AI: Knowledge or experience in Generative AI architectures with experience building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and developing multi-agent systems.
