Document Intelligence and Machine Learning Research Engineer

You research and build the models that read tables, plots and figures in scanned engineering and scientific documents. You turn each page into values with a calibrated confidence and a link back to the source, and you build the benchmarks that show how well each model does it.

Team: Superintelligence (SI) research and engineering, Kind: Full-time, Location: Remote, United States, Pay: $130,000 to $201,000 a year

Duties

  • Build pipelines that find tables, plots and figures on scanned pages and extract their values with OCR and vision-language models.
  • Recover numeric values from plots by reading axes, scales and data points, and record the uncertainty of each value.
  • Calibrate model confidence so that a stated confidence matches how often values are right.
  • Build benchmarks with gold values checked against the source, and keep their test sets sealed from training.
  • Evaluate vision-language models across model families and pinned versions on the same benchmarks.
  • Send low-confidence values to human review, and measure how review changes accuracy.
  • Link every extracted value to its page and region in the source document.
  • Write up methods and results so another researcher can repeat them.

What you bring

  • An MS or PhD in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience, in document intelligence or computer vision.
  • Experience evaluating vision-language models and benchmarks.
  • Experience with OCR, layout analysis or table extraction on scanned pages.
  • Strong Python and experience training or fine-tuning deep learning models.
  • Experience measuring accuracy and calibration on held-out data.

Nice to have

  • Experience with PyTorch.
  • Experience extracting data from plots and charts.
  • Published work on document understanding or chart reading.
  • Familiarity with engineering or scientific test reports.
