At Tocaro Blue, your expertise in designing, training, and deploying custom ML models will directly advance our foundational perception stack, ProteusCore. As a Senior ML Researcher, you will be the lead architect of Radar (and secondary EO/IR) models for object detection, semantic segmentation, and tracking. You'll design algorithms capable of distinguishing vessels, land, shoreline constructions, wakes, and markers in dynamic maritime environments where off-the-shelf models fall short. Your work will fuel products used by: · Defense customers developing USVs/ASVs for the U.S. Navy. · Commercial OEMs bringing advanced marine ADAS and autopilot features to market. This role is an opportunity to define the ML foundations of maritime autonomy-where perception evolves from situational awareness, to navigation assistance, to full autonomy. What You'll Pioneer Core ML and Autonomy Innovation · Invent and refine custom deep learning architectures for Radar and EO/IR imagery, with an emphasis on semantic segmentation and temporal tracking, not just detection. · Develop multi-stage ML pipelines (context + characteristic models, segmentation + classification) tailored to low-SNR Radar returns. · Train models on proprietary large-scale datasets (millions of Radar samples and camera sequences) with design-of-experiment methods for data collection and annotation. · Optimize and deploy models to resource-constrained edge hardware (CPU-only and ARM64 platforms), including C++ inference layers. · Advance fusion-aware ML models that integrate Radar with EO/IR, AIS, and cartography for robust classification in GPS-denied or cluttered environments. · Collaborate with fusion and autonomy engineers to ensure ML outputs integrate seamlessly into multi-target tracking and SLAM pipelines. · Contribute to ML-Ops workflows: data management, large-scale training, continuous integration of new field data, and automated evaluation pipelines. 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. Equal Opportunity & Eligibility Tocaro Blue, LLC is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. Individual offers are based are made based on skill and experience, geographic location, as well as role, responsibility, and leadership within the company, and other due diligence.

    The University of Alabama 3.7company rating

    Principal research scientist job in Tuscaloosa, AL

    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. Applicants should upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae and include at least two references in the reference section of the application. Please upload additional documents to the “other documents” tab as needed. Skills and Knowledge: Individual must have strong geospatial analyses skills, strong R programing skills and ability to work independently. Background Investigation Statement: Prior to hiring, the final candidate(s) must successfully pass a pre-employment background investigation and information obtained from social media and other internet sources. A prior conviction reported as a result of the background investigation DOES NOT automatically disqualify a candidate from consideration for this position. A candidate with a prior conviction or negative behavioral red flags will receive an individualized review of the prior conviction or negative behavioral red flags before a hiring decision is made. Equal Employment Opportunity: The University of Alabama is an Equal Employment/Equal Educational Opportunity Institution.
