Our company will adhere to Stanford's guidelines for all the jobs/internships.


About Us

There are products that customers think are cool
at the moment, and then there are products that
customers cannot live without because they are so
incredibly useful. At Matician, we are building
the latter because these are the products worth
spending our lives on. We want to build great products to solve real problems.

We believe that sensors and algorithms are
finally good enough to reimagine home devices and
apply Level 5 autonomy and mobility so that
people can save time and energy bypassing
repetitive and mundane tasks inside the home.

We're a small team with a singular focus on
product that combines technologies such as
vision, ML, structure-from-motion, and robotics.
Our goal is to ship products that people love.

About the Program

Our AI Startup Residency is a one-year
product-focused research position where you will
develop, build and optimize machine learning,
computer vision, natural language and perception
algorithms for autonomous robots. You’ll play
an integral role in not just in developing
algorithms, but also in product development,
patents and other aspects of building a company
from the ground up. Unlike other residency
programs that focus just on conducting research
and publication, our program places heavy
emphasis on the process of refining and
engineering the research into a product that people can buy.

Eligibility Requirements

    * Willingness to take risks
    * Enjoys cleaning and organizing
    * For international candidates without work
authorization in USA, they must be graduating
prior to the start of the residency for J-1 visa
    * Completed coursework in calculus, linear
algebra, and/or their equivalent

We are looking for someone who is:

    * An out-of-box thinker and doer, unafraid of
solving really-hard-problems, and willing to do
whatever it takes to ship extremely useful products.
    * Curious, asks lots of questions, challenges
conventional wisdoms, and doesn’t shy from contrarian opinions/approaches.
    * Focused on long-term and prizes transformal
vs. transactional ways of doing things. Sees
around the corner and proactively identifies and mitigates long-range risks.
    * Someone who prioritizes user needs, functionality, and usefulness
    * Detail-oriented and has pride in their work.

Qualifications

    * Ability to solve problems and identify areas of improvement
    * Ability to write clean, reliable code that can be easily maintained
    * Experience with Python, with experience in
Tensorflow, PyTorch or Numpy a plus
    * Experience with working on computer vision,
machine learning or NLP problems
    * Familiarity with modern Deep Learning algorithms
    * Excellent verbal and written communication skills
    * Comfortable with running and interpreting
common statistical tests, and also with common data science/learning techniques
    * Ability to work in a fast-paced,
autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere

Responsibilities

    * Collaborate with the HW, SW, and Algorithms
team to bring product vision to life.
    * Everything involved in applying an ML model to a production use case
        * Designing and coding up the neural
network, gathering and refining data, training and tuning the model
        * Deploying it at scale with high throughput and uptime
        * Analyzing the results in order to
continuously update and improve accuracy and speed
