KTP Associate – Computer Vision Marine Monitoring Specialist

This is a unique opportunity to work as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP)
Associate on a pioneering project aimed at integrating AI-driven solutions into marine
environmental monitoring systems. The Associate will be embedded within MSeis
Limited, working closely with industry and academic experts to develop real-time
detection and classification models for marine mammals and floating anomalies. The
role provides hands-on experience in AI, machine learning, and computer vision while
driving innovation in offshore environmental protection.
You will also be responsible for managing and delivering this 24-month project against
the agreed objectives. This will maximise the benefits of the Partnership to (MSEIS),
the academic team and University, whilst gaining valuable person development and
industrial experience

Key Objectives of this project:
• Become familiar with personnel and analytical equipment at MSEIS and likewise at
the university.
• Gain an in-depth understanding of MSeis’s products, client base, environmental
challenges, and AI integration opportunities.
• Develop AI models for real-time detection of marine mammals using dual-sensor
(thermal-optical) camera systems.
• Optimise and integrate multimodal sensor data into AI-driven detection frameworks.
• Collaborate with the University of Plymouth team to refine machine learning models
for offshore applications.
• Implement real-time object recognition and tracking, ensuring performance in
dynamic marine environments.
• Support knowledge transfer by training MSeis engineers in AI-driven methodologies.
• Conduct field trials and validate AI-powered detection systems against industry
benchmarks.
• Document research findings, contribute to academic publications, and participate in
dissemination activities.
