AI Engineer

dotOcean is growing and we are hiring an AI Engineer to pioneer human-robot communication for autonomy. You'll build intelligent systems translating robot perception into actionable insights, define next-gen navigation for multi-agent systems, and develop real-time decision models for complex environments. Collaborate with engineers and defense partners to advance AI-driven solutions.

Your Skills

Key Responsabilities

  • Develop AI solutions that enables communication between humans and autonomous agents using LLMs

  • Facilitate the access and retrieval of data out of the data warehouse for a user by using their own natural language

  • Design and implement AI algorithms that converts sensor perceptions into human-understandable information like text or speech.

  • Define the next-gen swarming algorithms using the latest state of play in the AI world

  • Use GANs for synthetic maritime image generation

  • Applies Neural Radiance Field (NeRFs) for scene reconstruction or viewpoint reconstruction from other agents in the swarm for sharing knowledge about their perception.

Key Competences

  • Proactive and Solution-Oriented Thinking – Takes initiative to identify improvement opportunities and acts before problems escalate.

  • Complex Problem Solving – Analyzes and resolves strategic challenges with a long-term vision, applying critical thinking and preventive actions.

  • Data and Technology Integration – Optimizes processes by leveraging data analysis and technological solutions, improving data quality and utilization.

  • Quality Assurance and Process Improvement – Tests, analyzes, and refines processes to maintain high-quality standards and drive continuous improvement.

  • Collaboration and Adaptability – Works effectively in cross-functional teams and adapts flexibly to changing circumstances.

Technical Competences

  • Experience with OOP, advanced data structures, and algorithms in Python and C++ for high-performance AI models.

  • Working with Scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow/PyTorch for pattern recognition, predictions, and AI decision systems.

  • Applying Transformers (BERT, GPT, T5) and GANs (StyleGAN, CycleGAN) for NLP, image generation, and domain adaptation.

  • Developing and deploying AI models with Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, MLflow/Kubeflow for scalable production implementations.

  • Working with parallel computing (Python multiprocessing, Rust async), C++ optimization, and low-latency streaming for AI applications.

Our Talents

  • At dotOcean, you’ll work with the latest technologies in autonomous systems, automated operations and cloud technology.

  • We’re a growing team focused on collaboration, coaching and personal development. And yes, there’s always laughter!

  • We foster an open environment where active listening and the sum of all parts are valued. You’ll grow both professionally and personally.

  • After a week of hard work, we often head to the café to unwind. Our party committee also organizes fun activities and events.

  • With 40-hour workweeks and 12 additional vacation days per year, we ensure you have the perfect work-life balance.
