What You Will Do:

  • Support the development and optimisation of neural‑network‑based models for on‑board processing.
  • Contribute to dataset preparation, preprocessing, and evaluation workflows.
  • Assist in prototyping machine‑learning algorithms in Python (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.).
  • Participate in model optimisation for embedded or resource‑constrained hardware.
  • Help integrate and test AI algorithms on experimental on‑board computing platforms.
  • Document technical results and support internal reviews.
  • Work under the guidance of senior engineers in the Orbital HPC team.

Must‑Have Qualifications

  • Master‑level background (on-going or completed) in Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, AI, Data Science, or related field.
  • Familiarity with machine learning or deep learning concepts, computer vision frameworks.
  • Basic experience with Python and ML libraries.
  • Ability to work in Linux/Unix environments.
  • Basic experience with C/C++ or embedded platforms
