**To be successful you will need**:
1. A completed PhD or a submitted PhD thesis in either computer science, computer/software engineering, electrical or electronic engineering, mechanical/mechatronic engineering, or in a related discipline.

2. Engineering experience in the translation of machine learning, or related research, into an applied or client context.

3. Programming experience and expertise in Python or languages such as Linux OS, C++,.NET, and Java, and one or more relevant deep learning libraries and ML platforms such as PyTorch or Tensorflow, Scikit learn, or CARET, including a track record of effective deployment of these within artificial intelligence or machine learning projects or client problems.

**Desirable characteristics**:

- Experience in delivering working software and integrated software/hardware solutions, preferably in the Agile software development methodology.
- Experience in large data sets and their platforms/tools, cloud-based architectures, and deployment frameworks for machine learning algorithms.
- Experience in Deep Learning techniques and solutions used in commercial software development.
- A track record of publications in machine learning, computer vision, artificial intelligence and/or robotics conferences and/or journals.

Preference will be given to Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, or New Zealand citizens.

**Enjoy an outstanding career environment**

The Centre for Augmented Reasoning (CAR) is a $20M investment by the (then) Department of Education, Skills and Employment in people and research to make computers better at interacting with humans so that all technology is easier and safer to use. Managed under AIML, the Centre is supporting Advanced Reasoning research through grants and PhD scholarships, facilitating innovation and rapid commercialisation, and increasing artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and engagement in Australia.
