Job Description

Fugro's innovation teams develop solutions for both internal users and Fugro's clients. With innovation centers in Canada, Brazil, the USA, and other key locations worldwide, you will join a global innovation group with a tradition of building best-of-class applications in the Geo-Data space.

Our engineers work across domains such as spatial data, cloud computing, deep learning, and process automation.

The base salary range for this position is $112, ,200.00 CAD

The Senior Machine Learning Engineer is responsible to deliver differentiation through technology in our products and service delivery. You will lead the development of cloud-hosted geospatial processing for remote-sensing data (imagery and LiDAR), including classification and feature extraction using machine learning.

In this role, you will provide technical and architectural leadership within a small, highly agile team building a cloud processing pipeline that manages geo-data and presents results to users for editing and QA/QC.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead by example and place Quality, Health & Safety, Security, and the protection of the Environment as core values while never intentionally placing employees, our processes, customers, or the communities in which we live and work at risk.
• Provide conceptual input and technical leadership in architecture and design discussions across ML, cloud, and geospatial workflows.
• Translate business needs into technical plans by understanding how Fugro's products create value for clients and contributing actively to business value discussions.
• Drive end-to-end solution development: evaluate problem definition, requirements, feasibility, approach options, and proposed solutions.
• Design, build, and improve ML/Computer Vision solutions for feature extraction and classification from imagery and LiDAR.
• Assure efficiency and operational readiness of selected product components (reliability, scalability, performance, maintainability).
• Assure successful deployment of product/service/technology, including troubleshooting and resolution of operational issues.
• Document and demonstrate solutions with clear technical documentation and diagrams (flowcharts, layouts, architecture, data flows).
• Collect, analyze, and summarize development and service issues to improve platform quality and team execution.
• Actively drive knowledge exchange by leading design reviews, "known problems/solutions" sessions, and adoption of industry best practices.
• Support and develop less experienced engineers through coaching, mentorship, and opportunities for learning.
• Other duties as assigned.

Job Requirements

• Authorized to work in Canada, without restrictions.
• Possess a Bachelor's degree  or Master's degree preferred in Machine Learning, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related engineering field.
• Have 5 years or more of professional experience building and maintaining software systems using relevant technologies preferred.
• Have 3 years or more of hands-on experience delivering machine learning solutions (including deep learning) to production or production-like environments preferred.
• Experience with Python required, C# desirable, or at least one additional language used in product development.
• Strong foundations in software engineering and system design (object-oriented design, testing, maintainability, reliability).
• MLOps experience (model packaging, deployment, monitoring, drift/quality checks, reproducible training).
• AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud application development experience preferred.
• Ability to lead major aspects of design, development, and maintenance, including advanced troubleshooting of operational systems.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills; comfortable explaining technical tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Geospatial data experience (raster/vector, coordinate systems, tiling) and/or remote sensing workflows.
• Experience with microservices architecture and container orchestration.
• Experience with serverless and/or edge computing patterns.
