Junior Machine Learning Scientist – Remote Sensing

Junior Machine Learning Scientist – Remote Sensing This role is posted on behalf of Lambd AI Space, a startup supported by SGInnovate. Background Lambd AI Space is a deep-tech company building scalable climate intelligence from satellite data. We work with insurers, financial institutions, governments, and infrastructure operators to detect, quantify, and prevent climate-related risks core technology combines multi-sensor Earth observation data with physics-informed machine-learning models to deliver arenaflex-effective, high-precision insights across large geographies. The Machine Learning function plays a central role in transforming raw satellite imagery into production-ready models that power our products. The team’s objective is not only to develop accurate models, but to ensure they are robust, testable, and deployable in real-world environments. This includes building end-to-end pipelines covering data preparation, training, validation, deployment, and monitoring. As a Junior ML Scientist, you will join a small, highly technical team working closely with senior ML scientists, engineers, and product stakeholders. The goal of the team is to move fast while maintaining engineering discipline: shipping models into production, iterating based on feedback, and continuously improving performance and scalability. This role is hands‑on and impact-driven, with direct exposure to production systems and real customer use cases. Job scope Key Responsibilities • Implement, train, and validate ML models for optical and radar satellite imagery. • Build clean, modular training and inference pipelines (PyTorch/Tensor Flow). • Work with engineering to deploy models into production (Docker, arenaflex/CD). • Write tests (unit + integration) and maintain model performance dashboards. • Collaborate with senior scientists on R&D tasks such as model improvement, feature engineering, and synthetic data workflows. • Run experiments, document results, and communicate findings clearly. Minimum Qualifications • MSc in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Remote Sensing, Data Science, or related field – OR strong project/portfolio experience. • Solid programming skills in Python, with experience using PyTorch or Tensor Flow. • Understanding of convolutional models, transformers/attention, or change-detection techniques. • Some exposure to geospatial workflows (e.g., Rasterio, GDAL, QGIS) or willingness to learn quickly. • Basic experience using Git, Docker, or cloud environments (AWS/GCP). • Comfort working with large datasets and debugging data issues. • Good written and spoken English. Preferred (Nice-to-Have) • Hands‑on experience with satellite or aerial imagery projects. • Familiarity with SAR data or multi‑modal fusion. • Experience pushing models to production (arenaflex/CD, containers). • Basic understanding of ONNX, model optimisation, or GPU workflows. • Experience with synthetic data generation or augmentation strategies. • Curiosity for climate resilience, environmental monitoring, insurance, or earth observation.

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...

8. HOW TO PRIORITIZE WORK?

The day I watched Marie Forleo's film separating the important from the urgent, my life changed. Not all remote jobs start fast, but most of them are...

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?

This is a great question because it shows your comfort level with technology, which is very important for a remote worker because you will be working with technology over time...
