Aspects of work can involve scene understanding at a semantic level using latest techniques. You would develop innovative solutions that achieve the best balance between speed vs performance, file invention disclosures, and also publish these novel approaches in tier-1 conferences . You would collaborate with research scientists with domain depth in video encoding/compression. You would conduct subjective ratings tests to generate ground truth data for your models, when required. You would also contribute to development of new video quality models that correlate highly with subjective ratings and help quantify the improvements brought about by your work. You would define and refine team processes around ML/DL model development, deployment, and guardrail definition.

A day in the life
You will work with Video Research Scientists who will bring domain expertise to jointly define the specific problem and technical approach. You may collaborate with academia through sponsored research programs on complex problems of long-term importance in your area of work.
