With a legacy of innovation that spans decades, arenaflex continuously pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and advanced computer vision. Our products touch millions of lives every day, from smartphones and tablets to next‑generation wearables and spatial computing devices. As we expand our portfolio of AI‑driven solutions, we are looking for visionary talent to join our dynamic teams and help shape the next wave of intelligent, sensor‑rich experiences.

Position Overview

arenaflex is seeking a highly motivated Senior Data Scientist to join our Spatial Insight Group (SPT). This team is at the heart of our AR/VR initiatives, focusing on 2D and 3D deep‑learning models that enable devices to understand people, objects, and environments with unprecedented accuracy. The role blends rigorous data‑driven research with practical engineering, allowing you to translate massive data sets into actionable insights that directly influence product roadmaps and user experiences.

While the title references “Data Entry,” the core of this position revolves around sophisticated data science, model development, and cross‑functional collaboration. You will work closely with software engineers, AI researchers, cloud infrastructure specialists, and product managers to build, evaluate, and deploy machine‑learning pipelines that power arenaflex’s next‑generation AR/VR features.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement advanced machine‑learning algorithms for computer vision tasks such as object detection, depth estimation, facial recognition, and gesture interpretation.
• Develop end‑to‑end data pipelines that ingest, clean, label, and preprocess large‑scale image and video datasets sourced from millions of devices worldwide.
• Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to uncover hidden patterns, assess data quality, and guide feature engineering decisions.
• Build and maintain scalable model evaluation frameworks that benchmark accuracy, latency, and resource consumption across diverse hardware platforms.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (AI research, cloud services, product management) to translate business requirements into technical specifications.
• Present findings and visualizations to senior leadership and stakeholders, clearly communicating complex technical concepts in an accessible manner.
• Drive data‑centric product improvements by analyzing real‑world usage metrics, user feedback, and performance logs to identify opportunities for model refinement.
• Contribute to the creation of synthetic data generation tools to augment training sets and reduce reliance on manual labeling.
• Mentor junior data scientists and engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing within the team.
• Stay abreast of emerging research in deep learning, computer vision, and AR/VR, and proactively propose innovative approaches that keep arenaflex at the forefront of the industry.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field (Master’s or Ph.D. preferred).
• 3+ years of professional experience in data science, machine learning, or computer vision, preferably within a consumer‑technology or hardware environment.
• Proficiency with Python and core ML libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, or MXNet.
• Hands‑on experience building and deploying deep‑learning models for image/video analysis, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer‑based architectures.
• Strong foundation in statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and experimental design.
• Demonstrated ability to work with large, unstructured datasets (tens of terabytes) and familiarity with data‑storage solutions like Hadoop, Spark, or cloud‑based data lakes.
• Excellent communication skills, with a track record of presenting technical results to non‑technical audiences.
• Self‑starter attitude, meticulous attention to detail, and a passion for solving complex, real‑world problems.

Preferred Qualifications & Additional Skills

• Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) focused on machine learning, computer vision, or robotics.
• Experience with AR/VR sensor suites (LiDAR, depth cameras, infrared sensors) and the associated data modalities.
• Knowledge of on‑device inference optimization techniques (quantization, pruning, TensorRT, CoreML).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for scalable model serving.
• Background in software engineering best practices, including version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and code review processes.
• Publication record in top‑tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS) or patents related to computer vision or AR/VR technologies.
• Experience leading cross‑functional projects and influencing product strategy through data‑driven insights.

Core Skills & Competencies

• Analytical Thinking: Ability to dissect complex problems, identify root causes, and devise data‑centric solutions.
• Collaboration: Comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams, bridging gaps between research, engineering, and product.
• Innovation: Curiosity to explore novel algorithms and a willingness to experiment with untested ideas.
• Communication: Clear, concise storytelling with data visualizations that influence decision‑makers.
• Adaptability: Thrive in a fast‑paced environment where priorities shift based on market feedback.
• Ethical Awareness: Commitment to responsible AI practices, data privacy, and inclusive technology design.
