　　Can identify and define both short and medium term objectives.

　　Independently identify, motivate, and execute on medium to large hypotheses (each with many tasks) for model improvements through data analysis, and domain knowledge, and are able to communicate your learnings effectively.

　　Influence progress of relevant research communities by producing publications.

　　Utilize technical research background, train new machine/deep learning models, and run numerical/quantitative experiments.

　　Create tools and workflow that for end-to-end data pipeline that facilitate data-driven machine learning solution development, including data acquisition, pre-/post-processing and curation often at large scales.

　　Use machine learning, statistics, or other data techniques to build algorithms.

　　Suggest, collect, and synthesize system requirements from stakeholders and create effective feature roadmaps.

　　Analyze and resolve computer challenges from a system engineering standpoint.

　　Work on problems of diverse scope where analysis of data requires evaluation of identifiable factors.

　　Demonstrate good judgment in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining solutions.

　　Drive team goals and technical direction to pursue opportunities that make the larger organization more efficient by serving as a subject-matter with deep and state-of-the-art knowledge in machine learning.

　　Independently research and implement state-of-the-art machine learning models and techniques on PyTorch, TensorFlow or other platforms.
