\nBackground: Global Fishing Watch is an international, non-profit organization committed to advancing ocean governance through increased transparency. We create and publicly share knowledge about human activity at sea to enable fair and sustainable use of our ocean. Founded in 2015 through a collaboration between Oceana, SkyTruth, and Google, GFW became an independent non-profit organization in 2017. Using cutting-edge technology, we create and publicly share map visualizations, data and analysis tools to enable scientific research and drive a transformation in how we manage our ocean. By 2030, we aim to monitor and map all commercial activity at sea, including all industrial fishing vessels, small-scale fishing activity, all large non-fishing vessels, and all fixed infrastructure such as aquaculture and oil rigs. We also plan to work with intergovernmental organizations and 30 governments around the globe to promote the adoption of transparency more widely and publicly share ocean data to drive better management of marine resources.\n\nThe Position\n\nThe Research and Innovation team at Global Fishing Watch (GFW) connects data science and machine learning experts with the scientific community to produce new datasets, publish impactful research, and empower others to use our data. This team harnesses satellite technology, machine learning, and big data to shed light on some of the most pressing issues facing the ocean.\n\nWe are now working to map the global footprint of commercial activity at sea, including the activity of all ocean-going vessels and fixed infrastructure. This work involves combining deep learning and data fusion techniques with petabytes of satellite imagery (radar and optical), and billions of GPS positions from vessels, mostly from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Vessel Monitoring Systems.\n\nThe Machine Learning Engineer will assist with large data pipelines of satellite imagery and help build computer vision models to detect and classify maritime objects in imagery data. The initial focus will be on vessel detection in high-resolution (3 m) PlanetScope optical imagery from Planet Labs, leveraging an existing model architecture developed for Sentinel-2. Subsequent work includes implementing new models to expand the detection capability to offshore infrastructure using new satellite imagery sources. The candidate will also collaborate closely with other members of the Research and Innovation team to correlate detected vessels (position, time and length) to vessels tracked by AIS. Finally, the candidate will work closely with the GFW Engineering and Product teams to ensure solutions are compatible and scalable within our cloud infrastructure. \n\nThe incumbent will gain experience working with leading researchers in the field and will interface daily with GFWโs team of data scientists and machine learning experts. They will develop further technical skills in programming, big data, and cloud computing while working for a globally diverse and fully distributed organization. The successful candidate will be organized and excited to help Global Fishing Watch develop strong partnerships and cutting-edge research. \n\nPrincipal Duties and Responsibilities\n\nModel development for small object detection\n\n\n* Design, train, and evaluate computer vision models for object detection in satellite imagery, with an emphasis on vessel detection in optical imagery \n\n* Implement preprocessing pipelines to obtain imagery and prepare it for annotation and modelling \n\n* Devise annotation strategies and tools for labelling vessels and fixed infrastructure in satellite images\n\n* Improve our training datasets and build new training datasets for other human-made objects, potentially managing external annotation services\n\n\n\n\nAdditional tasks may include\n\n\n* Provide technical support to the senior machine learning engineer(s) responsible for developing and advancing other Global Fishing Watch models\n\n* Assist data fusion efforts to integrate detections from multiple sources (e.g. Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical), accounting for the recall of each model, length of the objects, cloudiness, and image resolution, among others\n\n* Analyze large amounts of data from various sources, such as vessel tracking, identity, and satellite imagery to identify trends, anomalies, and insights\n\n* Ensure the integrity and accuracy of key data pipelines and research BigQuery tables \n\n* Maintain and improve internal Python tools, such as modules and template repositories, to assist with migrating research projects from proof-of-concepts to automated prototypes\n\n* Lead or support eventual research publications and technical blog posts\n\n\n\nCandidate description\n\nSkills you should have\n\n\n* Bachelor's degree and at least four years of professional experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience, in physical/earth sciences or a related field\n\n* Demonstrated skills and experience with Python\n\n* Strong foundation in mathematics and statistics\n\n* Familiarity working with geospatial data\n\n* Demonstrated experience working with cloud compute platforms and virtualized environments\n\n* Self-motivated with a strong curiosity and desire to learn new skills\n\n* Willingness to take ownership of projects and communicate project updates\n\n* Written and verbal communication skills in English\n\n* Ability to work with a remote team and embrace Slack, Google Suite, Jira, Notion and other collaborative tools\n\n\n\n\nAlso great\n\n\n* Some experience with database query languages such as SQL\n\n* Demonstrated experience with computer vision models\n\n* Demonstrated experience with frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch\n\n* Familiarity with containerization tools like Docker and execution of models inside them\n\n* An appreciation for the complexities and rewards of collaborating in a remote, global and inclusive environment\n\n* Experience engaging with academic researchers and the peer-review process\n\n* Awareness of ethical considerations related to privacy and bias in satellite imagery analysis\n\n\n\n\nThe successful candidate will meet most, but not necessarily all, of the criteria above. Although it is obviously helpful, we do not expect that you already have a deep knowledge of building models or our key programming languages; we do expect that you have the aptitude to develop these skills and knowledge, and that you are excited about revealing human activity across the global ocean using these tools. If you donโt think you check all the boxes, but believe you have unique skills that make you a great fit for the role, we want to hear from you!\n\nAdditional Information\n\nReporting to: Senior Data Scientist / Senior Data Science Manager\n\nManages: NA\n\nLocation: Remote - we welcome candidates based in any country\n\nTerm: Permanent position\n\nFT/PT: Full-time\n\nRecruiting process\n\nA cover letter along with a CV will be requested to see how your experience and interest connect to the position.
