- Hands-on experience with computer vision libraries and frameworks (OpenCV, PyTorch, or
TensorFlow)
- Proficiency in Python, with experience writing production-quality code beyond notebooks and
prototypes - Practical experience deploying ML models into production or staging environments
- Understanding of image processing fundamentals: filtering, calibration, registration, and geometric
transforms - Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines for ML systems
- Experience working with large image datasets and efficient data loading strategies
- Strong debugging and profiling skills for performance-critical applications
- Able to communicate technical trade-offs clearly to both engineering and non-technical colleagues
BONUS COMPETENCIES
- Experience with multispectral or hyperspectral imaging data
- Exposure to edge inference frameworks (ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, or OpenVINO)
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) for model serving and data storage
- Understanding of MLOps tooling such as experiment tracking, model registries, and automated
retraining workflows - Prior experience with object detection or semantic segmentation architectures (YOLO, U-Net, Mask

Role Computer Vision Engineer Salary £30k - 40k
Location Manchester, M6 6AJ (Hybrid + Flexible) Leave 33 days
We're looking for a hands-on Computer Vision Engineer to join our ML-driven Agri-Tech team. You'll focus
on building and deploying production computer vision pipelines that process multispectral imagery to
monitor crop health, detect stress, and support yield prediction. This role suits someone who wants to take
models from development through to reliable, scalable deployment on real-world agricultural systems.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Area Tasks
Image Pipeline
Development
Build and maintain production pipelines for ingesting, calibrating, and
processing multispectral image data at scale. Implement efficient batch and
streaming workflows for image pre-processing and quality assurance.
Model Deployment
& Integration
Package trained computer vision models for deployment across edge and
cloud environments. Integrate inference pipelines with the wider Automated
Crop Scout platform and internal APIs.
Detection &
Classification
Develop and optimise detection, segmentation, and classification systems for
plant stress, disease, and growth-stage identification from multispectral
imagery.
Vegetation Index
Computation
Implement and optimise vegetation index calculations from raw spectral band
data. Ensure accuracy and consistency of derived features across different
sensor configurations and lighting conditions.
Edge & Embedded
Inference
Optimise models for inference on edge devices deployed in commercial
glasshouse and field environments. Profile and tune for latency, memory, and
power constraints.
Testing, Monitoring
& Reliability
Build test suites and monitoring for deployed vision pipelines. Track model
performance in production, flag drift or degradation, and document system
behaviour and failure modes clearly.
