What We DoGecko Robotics is helping the world's most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure.
Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customerswith a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets.
This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.
Role at a GlanceAs a Machine Learning Engineer at Gecko, you will be working with Gecko's unique dataset to develop and deploy machine learning models to solve critical business problems.
You will work deeply on problems such as: classifying valid vs. invalid signals; taking accurate measurements from valid signals; and identifying damage mechanisms such as cracks, corrosion, or laminations across a large collection of signals.
Gecko owns a growing repository of mechanical integrity data, including large volumes of ultrasonic, imagery, and other data points concerning the integrity of critical infrastructure assets worldwide.
Gecko is expanding our Machine Learning team to better leverage the vast data store we have collected over time.
This is a chance to be one of the first dedicated engineers in an area we expect to grow significantly over the next few years, within a space that is ripe for innovation and solving problems in a way they haven't been attempted before.
What you will doDevelop novel (supervised and unsupervised) ML models to help solve important business problems, becoming an expert in unique domains like ultrasonic digital signal processing for non-destructive testing.
Roll out models to production by developing integrations with mission critical analytical tools and building the necessary ML Ops infrastructure to support high quality iteration.
Help Gecko identify new problems we could tackle with AI/ML (such as defect detection, automated repair planning, and more) and help cultivate necessary training sets to start solving those problems.
Technologies We UsePython, PyTorch, Numpy
Docker, GCP, Cloud Run, Batch, Collab
Ultrasonic DSP
We use a variety of technologies, but our Software teams primarily operate using Python, React, and Typescript with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as our cloud provider.
This is a non-exhaustive list and we are tech agnostic in our interview process, so we encourage you to apply regardless of your background.
