Lead Developer responsible for the research and development of the integrated VineKeeper solution (Web and mobile components, data acquisition for the creation of the grape variety dataset, API and integration of AI algorithms). You will also be responsible for project management, in conjunction with the other developers, and, in collaboration with the other partners, for promoting and drawing up VineKeeper’s commercial plan for its launch.
The Co-Principal Investigator, who will contribute to the scientific research for the project, will be responsible for the study and development of an AI algorithm for the automatic identification of grape varieties, monitoring the health of the vineyard, and the automatic identification of diseases that limit the vegetative propagation of the vine. They will contribute to the communication and dissemination of scientific results, collaborating on the definition of the future commercialisation plan for the solution.
Co-Project Lead responsible for acquiring and annotating the dataset, as well as implementing and validating the project’s pilot schemes in a real-world environment. You will play a key role in providing support and feedback to the project’s stakeholders throughout its implementation, whilst also helping to promote the solution and define its future commercialisation strategy.
