Junior Data Scientist - Bengaluru/Bangalore @ Hitachi

Mandatory Requirements:

Academic Qualification:

Bachelor s degree with STEM background (Science, Technology, Engineering and Management) with strong quantitative flavour.

Strong Fundamentals:

The candidate is required to build quantitative models from first principles and hence need to have excellent understanding of basics in mathematics and statistics (e.g., differential equations, linear algebra, matrix, combinatorics, probability, Bayesian statistics, eigen vectors, Markov models, Fourier analysis).

Core Expertise:

The candidate is expected to specialize in Video and Image Signal Processing. Solid understanding of Video and Image Recognition is a pre-requisite. It is good to have hands-on model implementation skills for any one of the below areas.

1. Image segmentation:

2. Image representation:

3. Object detection/classification (using classical image processing Deep Learning)

4. Image/background modeling, change/anomaly detection using image processing.

5. Technology stack (e.g., OpenCV, Pillow, torchvision, TensorFlow, Caffe, Python/Keras).

Emerging Trends - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:

Good Understanding of working principles of neural networks and underlying algorithms (e.g., convolutional-CNN), recurrent-RNN-LSTM-GRU, Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), back-propagation, loss function, gradient descent)

Data Wrangling and Model Lifecycle Maintenance:

Experience in data cleaning, ETL, pipeline building and model-maintenance, using commonly used methodology (e.g., Airflow, MLflow)

Communication : Ability to articulate key messages concisely and precisely

Collaboration: Excellent interpersonal and teaming skills

Additional Preference:

Advanced Qualification: PhD in any Quantitative Discipline

Eminence: Patents, publications, thought leadership, invited speakership and conspicuous presence in refereed platforms or forums of repute.
