Computer Vision Engineer. A mid-level competency profile.

For companies and practitioners: The competency profile validates your technical competency and domain expertise in data. It recognizes you as a specialist and advances your career to Senior, Lead, and Director. By practitioners, for practitioners — this service is provided by the AI Guild.

What do you see in the competency profile?

This profile shows an early-stage data professional developing specialist expertise in

  • Computer Vision relevant to autonomous mobility; and
  • Product development based on Deep Learning models.

The focus is flanked appropriately by relevant experience with

  • Image processing techniques, and
  • Deploying models.

You will have noticed that the profile shows a great learning curve, e.g., building datasets faster by iteration. Also, there is evidence for the capability to productionize computer vision and (co-) lead on the implementation.

Rapid career progress

You are looking at the profile of a graduate of one of the new specialist Master’s programs in Europe. The program provides focus from the start. Yet, as well all know, not that many companies in Europe offer Computer Vision career tracks, so the practitioner faces the challenge of defining her career trajectory. The challenge has been met admirably, especially by highlighting the contribution to improving industry practice in data collection, efficient algorithm implementation, and product deployment.
