Creative use of image processing algorithms in OpenCV, elimination of undesirable effects (eg change in light conditions)
Image processing as input, finding simple but robust patterns that are easily recognisable by humans
Cleaning and processing the resulting data for meaningful visualisation
Designing and implementing the process of continual improvement of the algorithms
Basics:
Fluency in Python
Fluency in basic Python libraries (Numpy/Scipy/Matplotlib)
Reasonable knowledge of Pandas
Practical understanding of maths behind machine learning (gradients, optimisation methods)
Ability to write code in Linux/Bash
Willingness to learn, improve and become expert in several of these areas
Ability to deliver fast and plausible solutions that are not necessarily perfect
Nice to have:
Experience with OpenCV
Practical knowledge of Tensorflow/Keras
C++/algorithms/data structures
Docker and similar deployment tools
Build a scalable product to disrupt manufacturing, a massive (5tn), omnipresent but publicly invisible industry with processes waiting for automation
Work on the future of Europe. Preserve/build welfare in your own country or region that is heavily dependent on manufacturing
Work on something tangible. We install our devices in factories and monitor actual machines
No-bullshit culture and understanding of need for deep thinking necessary to solve hard problems (founders with scientific/engineering background, PhDs and publications in top scientific journals)
