Department Overview
Our Analytics & AI R&D Center in Vietnam is a strategic innovation hub, dedicated to advancing the frontiers of Video Intelligence. We are transitioning from traditional computer vision to an AI-First approach, leveraging Foundation Models to solve critical real-world challenges in public safety.
Job Description
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Machine Learning Engineer to act as a core Individual Contributor within our AI Engineering organization. In this high-impact role, you will take ownership of researching, designing, and developing cutting-edge Computer Vision algorithms to solve real-world public safety challenges.
Recognizing that modern AI encompasses vast and diverse domains, we offer high flexibility in this role. We do not expect candidates to be full-stack masters of every domain. Instead, we highly value deep specialization. We welcome candidates who possess profound, hands-on expertise in EITHER resource-constrained Edge inference optimization OR large-scale Cloud AI model development and algorithmic data mining.
Core Responsibilities
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will contribute heavily to core algorithm development while leveraging your specific strengths:
Core AI/ML Development
- Design, train, and fine-tune high-performance deep learning models for complex vehicle attribute detection and optical character recognition (OCR) utilizing modern architectures (CNNs, Vision Transformers).
- Apply a Data-Centric AI approach, potentially leveraging Generative AI (Diffusion Models, GANs) for Synthetic Data Generation to overcome long-tail anomalies and obscured data in natural environments.
Specialized Domain Focus (Depending On Your Primary Expertise)
- If specializing in Edge AI: Rigorously profile trained models to identify latency bottlenecks. Apply advanced optimization techniques (INT8/FP16 quantization, pruning) and convert models for deployment via TensorRT, TFLite, or ONNX on embedded hardware (ARM CPUs, custom NPUs, low-power devices).
- If specializing in Cloud AI & Data Mining: Architect and develop advanced machine learning algorithms and AI pipelines to mine actionable insights from massive cloud-based datasets. Focus on large-scale model training, integrating Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for complex text-to-image retrieval, and optimizing deep learning architectures to process and extract intelligence from high volumes of unstructured video/image data.
- Write clean, highly efficient, well-documented, and maintainable production-level code (Python/C++).
Basic Requirements
Experience & Education
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of rigorous professional experience in applied Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or AI Research/Development.
- Proven hands-on track record of transitioning models from research/prototypes into robust commercial production.
Technical Competencies
- Deep practical mastery of AI frameworks, primarily PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Strong programming proficiency in modern Python and/or C++ within Linux environments.
- Specialization Flexibility: Demonstrated deep expertise and practical achievement in AT LEAST ONE of the following domains:
- Domain A (Edge AI): Hardware acceleration, edge model profiling, model compression, and deployment tools (TensorRT, TFLite, edge devices).
- Domain B (Cloud AI & Data Mining): Deep expertise in large-scale AI model training, computer vision algorithms, and designing complex AI pipelines for handling massive datasets (e.g., extracting statistical patterns and intelligence from billions of records).
Preferred
- Familiarity with Multimodal Foundation Models (e.g., CLIP, LLaVA) for Open-Set Recognition or Text-to-Image retrieval.
- Experience in building Agentic workflows or automated Active Learning systems
