*Skills & Experience – Required*

·PhD in computer vision, image processing, deep learning/machine 
learning or significant relevant industry experience.

·Research experience in (one or multiple areas) Computer Vision, Video 
Processing, Machine Learning/Deep Learning, Pattern Recognition, 
Multimedia and Data Science as well as experience in applying academic 
studies to industrial applications.

·Specifically, knowledge and former experience of work on domain 
adaptation and behavior analysis (e.g., action recognition) would be 
preferable.

·Relevant track record publications in major conferences – CVPR, ICCV, 
ECCV, ICIP, ICPR, ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, ACMMM, ICRA, IROS, etc. – and 
journals in the area – T-PAMI, CVIU, PR, T-IP, T-AC, T-MM, T-RA, etc.

*About our Team*

Huawei, the leading Telecommunications and IT solution provider, opened 
its European Research and Development (R&D) Centre in Ireland. Led by 
Huawei’s Video and AI vision, our *Video Competence Centre *was 
established in 2017 andcarries out pioneering R&D which leading and 
driving the next generation of industrial standards and products. 
Joining forces with top universities and industry leading partners, 
Huawei’s goal is to revolutionize both the consumer and enterprise markets.

The Video Competence Centre’s mission is defining and driving Huawei’s 
R&D in the area of video intelligence for its enterprise and consumer 
businesses. To this end, the team investigates and designs novel and 
state-of-the-art algorithms in video intelligence and deep learning, 
more specifically in relation to behaviour analysis (e.g., object 
detection & recognition, segmentation, enhancement, event detection and 
classification, etc.) and domain adaptation/transfer learning 
approaches, in order to create the next generation of intelligent video 
products & solutions.

The work will involve working in close relationships with other global 
teams in Huawei, including the video product teams, as well as the wider 
research and academic community.

To achieve these goals we are looking at recruiting experienced 
researchers with expertise in Computer Vision and Machine Learning to 
complement our existing team of experts.


      *About the Company*

Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications 
technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. With integrated 
solutions across four key domains – telecom networks, IT, smart devices, 
and cloud services – we are committed to bringing digital to every 
person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.

At Huawei, innovation focuses on customer needs. We invest heavily in 
basic research, concentrating on technological breakthroughs that drive 
the world forward. We have more than 180,000 employees, and we operate 
in more than 170 countries and regions. Founded in 1987, Huawei is a 
private company fully owned by its employees.

*Location*

This is a fulltime position at our R&D centre based in Dublin, Ireland. 
Business trips may be required as necessary to support strategic 
engagements.
