What Sets You Apart Essential Qualifications · Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or related field. · 7+ years applying machine learning and signal processing to real-world dynamic systems (graduate research counts if directly applicable). · Demonstrated mastery of semantic segmentation and object classification models, ideally applied to non-vision sensor modalities. · Expert-level Python skills with ML frameworks (TensorFlow/Keras, PyTorch, or equivalent). Preferred Expertise · Track record of developing ML models beyond standard YOLO-style detectors, particularly for segmentation of noisy or sparse data (Radar, sonar, or medical imaging). · Strong background in computer vision and temporal modeling (CNNs, transformers, RNNs for sequential sensor data). · Experience deploying ML to embedded/edge platforms with optimized C++ inference. · Knowledge of marine, automotive, or aerial robotics systems. · Contributions to large-scale ML data pipelines: annotation strategies, dataset balancing, simulation-to-real transfer. · Passion for pushing the boundaries of AI in GPS-denied, cluttered, and low-visibility environments. Why Tocaro Blue? Competitive Compensation & Growth · $132,000-$160,000 base salary with potential equity in a rapidly growing company. · Comprehensive benefits: 401(k) with 4% company matching, full health/dental/vision, life & disability insurance, generous PTO. · Continuous learning via conferences, training, and professional growth. Innovation-First Culture · Direct impact on defining the AI backbone of maritime autonomy. · Work on problems unsolved in automotive AI: Radar segmentation, maritime multi-object tracking, sensor fusion in GPS-denied waters. · Collaborative environment with elite engineers and researchers. · Hands-on field validation through monthly data collection trips at our Pensacola test facility. · A culture that balances innovation with personal growth.

Pay Grade/Pay Range: Minimum: $53,500 - Midpoint: $66,900 (Salaried E8) Department/Organization: 750501 - Alabama Water Institute (AWI) Normal Work Schedule: Monday - Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm Job Summary: The Postdoctoral Fellow provides for an internship and continuation of scholarly activity and research after achieving the PhD or other doctoral degree under the direction of a senior faculty member who serves as a mentor for the postdoctoral appointee. Additional Department Summary: The Global Change Ecology Lab and the Alabama Water Institute invite applications for a postdoctoral fellow position. This project will focus on geospatial analysis to identify data and research monitoring gaps in the Northern Gulf of America, as a first step toward developing a Northern Gulf of America Coastal Observatory. This position works with the team to determine where existing research infrastructure needs to be augmented with additional measurements and where new observation platforms are required to improve our environmental monitoring of the region. The development of this project is associated with the 2018 consensus report by the Ocean Studies Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), “Understanding the Long-Term Evolution of the Coupled Natural-Human Coastal System: The Future of the U.S. Gulf Coast.” That study, undertaken at the request of the NASEM Gulf Research Program, identified major deficiencies in understanding long-term coastal dynamics- particularly in physical and ecological processes- that limit the ability to track, predict, and manage change along the Gulf Coast. Chief among these gaps are insufficient baseline datasets and monitoring systems for sea level rise, subsidence, sediment delivery, and storm-driven hazards, as well as limited knowledge of ecological responses to climate change, development, and restoration interventions. Initial appointments are for one year, with renewal contingent upon demonstration of research productivity and funding. Required Department Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in Geography, Coastal Ecology or related field with expertise in geospatial analyses. Candidates will need to have completed their Ph.D. or have it completed by the start of employment.
