Loopr AI is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry with its visual inspection AI solution for quality assurance.

The solution is specifically designed to tackle the costly quality control issues that plague manufacturers, representing a $300 billion market opportunity annually. Moreover, Loopr AI is addressing the critical challenge of workforce attrition, a significant concern given that 25% of the manufacturing workforce is approaching retirement.

Our platform is capable of identifying defects and verifying assembly of complex parts with unparalleled precision, making it the ultimate quality inspector. It also acts as a comprehensive knowledge base, capturing invaluable process expertise and serving as a foundational data repository for training sophisticated language models.

We have built a cutting-edge micro-service architecture where we leverage latest computer vision AI models in the backend to run inference on real-time video. store inference results in a scalable middleware and present them to a user friendly front-end whose experience is optimized for operators using the app in a factory setting. Data from the app is stored in a noSQL database which can be easily connected to customer's ERP system to derive analytics.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated ML Engineer to join our Machine Learning team. You will play a key role in leading the implementation and development of computer vision algorithms and techniques, to solves complex vision problems of our customers in the manufacturing and aerospace industries. You will also play a key role in guiding the product roadmap of the company with innovation to help create other powerful solutions and greater efficiency.

If you are excited to work on these technologies and have proven experience in developing and deploying production grade computer vision and ML algorithms outside of academia then we'd love to connect with you. You will have end to end design, development and delivery ownership of key components.
