You
If terms like ontology, reasoner, schema, dimensionality reduction, and forward/backward chaining are part of your daily life and you want to apply your skills to a real-world enterprise problem, we’re interested in talking to you. You have a solid background in modeling the world, a passion for the related philosophy, and an understanding of the underlying mathematics. You can take research and development concepts, transition them into production applications, and maintain the production system. You know the difference between network graphs and graphical models and when one is appropriate. You want to be on the cutting edge of aerial robotics (drones).
SkyWard
We are the system or record for the most important stakeholders in the drone ecosystem: commercial operators, insurers and regulators. We are a company with decades of experience in both professional aviation and computer science. We cultivate a culture of transparency and empowered productivity; responsibility to provide above need to know in all cases.
The SkyWard platform is delivered through web and native mobile applications to cover all aspects of enterprise fleet management, from scheduling and dispatch to automated flight data processing and maintenance cycles. The current ontology we’re working with reflects the global commercial UAS industry and regulatory landscape as they exist today. The horizon we’re aiming for includes a time when aerial robots (AR) will pass autonomously through the air as easily as packets of information pass over the Internet.
Our main office is located on the Portland waterfront in a large loft space with bay windows, skylights, a mezzanine overlooking the open front area, and a second story patio. Our build-out includes both collaborative and quiet spaces for those employees joining us on a regular basis.Remote is an option for this position with the requirement that you have at least a three-hour workday overlap with the Portland office and willingness to periodically travel to Portland or other SkyWard offices.
Your Role
As a member of the technical specialist team, you’ll work with the team lead, UI/UX lead, and full stack team to design and develop schemas, ontologies, and API specifications (25%). You’ll develop the models or develop ingesters/mappers to bring data in and out of the production system (25%), write rules and rule engine interfaces (25%), and integrate semantic and statistical models into a Java enterprise and object oriented system (25%).
