About the role

At Mach9, we're building AI to turn dense LiDAR and image data into design-grade CAD deliverables for civil engineering and surveying. We have one of the richest survey-grade datasets in the world. Our product, Digital Surveyor, automates work that takes surveyors and engineers weeks of manual effort.

What they're looking for

  • Experience leading and growing teams — hiring and mentoring ML engineers and researchers
  • 5+ years of work experience in machine learning, with a track record of shipping ML models or systems to production
  • Strong technical depth in machine learning and computer vision, and an ability to set technical direction and to earn the trust of a strong technical team
  • Ability to develop technical roadmaps and execute on them
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to operate across research and engineering
  • Proficient with Python and PyTorch. You must be comfortable engaging deeply with our technical work
More about this role

At Mach9, we're building AI to turn dense LiDAR and image data into design-grade CAD deliverables for civil engineering and surveying. We have one of the richest survey-grade datasets in the world. Our product, Digital Surveyor, automates work that takes surveyors and engineers weeks of manual effort.

We're looking for a Head of Machine Learning to build and grow the organization that turns our data into the automated products of the future in surveying and design. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set the technical vision for our strategy, mentor and grow a team of ML engineers and researchers, and own the throughline from hard research problems to shipped product capabilities.

This role is ideal for experienced engineers, team leads, and managers who want to push the frontier of 3D computer vision and perception. You’ll have the opportunity to solve problems that few other teams have the data or the talent to take on. We need you to bring a strong vision of what’s possible with our unique dataset, and then to build a team around you to accomplish that vision.

Define and drive a coherent vision for how Mach9 can leverage our data advantage to build the best automation...
