Overview
Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in Abu Dhabi, UAE at Geosoft
We are seeking an AI/ML Lead to build and lead our artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. This is a hands-on technical leadership role—not a sales or strategy role. You will train models, build pipelines, and lead a team that turns raw geospatial data into automated intelligence. We are looking for someone who has trained AI models, not someone who has sold AI solutions. You will report to the CTO and work closely with the platform engineering and data teams.
What You Will Do
AI Model Development (Hands-On)
• Train and deploy AI models for point cloud classification (pipes, valves, structures, equipment)
• Develop semantic segmentation models for 3D environments
• Build object detection and recognition for industrial assets
• Create anomaly detection models for inspection data (corrosion, deformation, damage)
• Develop change detection algorithms for comparing surveys over time
Point Cloud & 3D AI (Core Focus)
• Build automated point cloud classification pipelines
• Develop models for feature extraction from LiDAR and photogrammetry data
• Create 3D instance segmentation for complex industrial environments
• Train models on as-built vs. as-designed comparison
• Build automated modeling from point clouds (scan-to-BIM, scan-to-CAD)
GeoAI & Geospatial Intelligence
• Develop geospatial analysis models for terrain, infrastructure, and assets
• Build satellite and aerial imagery analysis capabilities
• Create spatial relationship models for asset intelligence
• Integrate GIS data with AI for location-based predictions
Data Pipeline & MLOps
• Design and build training data pipelines for model development
• Establish data labeling workflows and quality standards
• Build MLOps infrastructure: model versioning, A/B testing, monitoring
• Create automated retraining pipelines for continuous improvement
• Manage GPU infrastructure for training and inference
Team Leadership
• Build and lead AI/ML team (starting 3, scaling to 10+)
• Hire and mentor ML engineers and data scientists
• Establish AI development best practices and documentation
• Manage relationships with annotation teams and data providers
Research & Innovation
• Stay current with state-of-the-art in 3D deep learning, point cloud processing
• Evaluate and adapt open-source models for our use cases
• Publish research and represent Geosoft at AI/ML conferences
• Build relationships with academic institutions for research partnerships
