Responsibilities

AI Model Delivery & Acceptance

• Lead the on-site final validation and acceptance testing of the Ecorobotix AI plant recognition model at the Botanical Resources Australia facility
• Define and execute field acceptance protocols in live pyrethrum crop conditions
• Analyse model inference results against pre-defined performance thresholds and success criteria
• Oversee any required model fine-tuning or parameter adjustments based on field observations
• Act as the sole technical authority on AI model performance for this project
• Translate field observations into actionable inputs for the Swiss AI engineering team
• Document all acceptance outcomes and formally sign off on model delivery

Client Technical Interface

• Serve as primary technical point of contact for Botanical Resources Australia on all AI and product-related matters
• Facilitate structured technical review sessions with the client's agronomic and operational teams
• Communicate model performance results, limitations and improvement roadmap in terms accessible to agricultural stakeholders
• Ensure client acceptance criteria are met and formally validated prior to project handover

Agronomic Context Capture

• Document field observations specific to pyrethrum crop conditions in Tasmania that may inform future model improvements
• Record lighting conditions, canopy density, growth stages and soil types relevant to model performance
• Identify edge cases and failure modes specific to the Australian agricultural environment
