    • Object detection & image classification models

    • OCR pipelines using third-party and custom OCR engines

    • Image quality assessment classifiers

  • Develop production-ready Python code with strong OOP and design principles

  • Integrate ML components into distributed, message-driven systems

  • Implement data-driven training, evaluation, and feedback loops

  • Optimize models for real-time workflows (latency + throughput)

  • Participate in system architecture discussions for scalability and maintainability

  • Collaborate with Database, API, and DevOps teams for deployment

  • Develop frameworks/systems beyond proof-of-concept notebooks

  • Create extensive documentation (technical design, diagrams, test scripts, best practices)

  • Lead and support enterprise-level projects and system enhancements

  • Follow PTC standards, policies, and procedures

Minimum Experience Required

  • Strong professional experience with Python

  • Solid software engineering foundation: OOP, design patterns, clean code

  • Image processing & computer vision frameworks (OpenCV, Pillow)

  • Machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow)

  • OCR experience (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, or custom models)

  • Object detection frameworks (YOLO, Faster R-CNN, SSD, etc.)

  • Knowledge of classification, feature extraction, metrics

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 + ADO Testing Module

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, Information Systems, or equivalent experience

Desired Skills

  • Strong software engineering mindset (quality, maintainability, architecture)

  • Experience with OCR, image classification, detection in production environments

  • Ability to translate research into real-world systems

  • Experience with distributed/multi-module systems

  • Excellent communication and documentation skills

  • Bonus: SAP experience, ITIL/ITSM methodologies

Engagement Requirements

  • Candidate must be located within the Continental US

  • Hybrid: Primarily remote with scheduled onsite work in Middletown, PA

  • Must attend one onsite meeting per quarter

  • Must attend onsite orientation (equipment pickup required)

  • Possible onsite post go-live support (1–2 week rotations)
