Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Above all, Aquabyte is a customer-driven company.

You will involve and manage Production Engineers as well as contract mechanical designers, iterate on existing designs, and develop new concepts for manufacturing automation and enterprise product lines.
