Position Overview

Avolta is seeking an accomplished and visionary Machine Learning Advisor, with a strong emphasis on computer vision. This is a pro bono, advisory role designed for a seasoned professional who is passionate about shaping the future of security, particularly in automotive applications such as anti-theft systems.

As a Machine Learning Advisor, your contributions will be advisory, consultative, and non-operational. You will provide high-level strategic guidance, share expertise, and help influence the direction of Avolta’s machine learning initiatives. This is not an employment relationship and does not involve performing employee-type duties; instead, it is a thought-leadership role that complements Avolta’s existing team.

Key Advisory Contributions

• Provide strategic advice on the development and deployment of advanced machine learning models, with a focus on computer vision applications for security systems, including automotive anti-theft solutions.

• Collaborate with Avolta’s leadership and technical teams to review and refine machine learning strategies, ensuring alignment with the company’s mission and goals.

• Share insights on the latest advancements in AI, computer vision, and security technologies.

• Participate in high-level discussions and brainstorming sessions to identify innovative solutions and growth opportunities.

• Offer mentorship and guidance to technical teams, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.

• Assist in evaluating the reliability, scalability, and security of ML systems from a strategic perspective.

• Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders in a clear and impactful manner.

• Uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and loyalty in all advisory activities.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience in developing and deploying machine learning models, with a strong focus on computer vision.

• Proficiency in Python and familiarity with deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.

• Strong understanding of computer vision libraries (e.g., OpenCV).

• Demonstrated ability to think strategically and provide high-level guidance.

• High level of maturity, responsibility, and commitment to Avolta’s mission.

• Proven ability to collaborate effectively in a leadership or advisory capacity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in automotive security, anti-theft technologies, or related fields.

• Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).

• Knowledge of cybersecurity principles and practices.

• Experience with edge computing and deploying ML models on embedded systems.

Compliance Framework

This advisory position is fully compliant with Canadian federal and provincial labour standards:

• Advisors are not integrated as employees and do not perform employee-type duties.

• Their contributions are advisory and non-executory, comparable to board or governance functions, which are recognized as permissible unpaid roles.

• In limited cases, advisors may engage in light-touch involvement, such as reviewing materials or providing refinements, where this is naturally necessary to deliver appropriate and well-founded advice. These activities strictly complement their advisory duty, remain consultative in nature, and do not replace or assume the responsibilities of employees.

• There is no expectation of remuneration or future employment, and the advisory nature of the role is fully disclosed.

• This position is strictly guidance- and leadership-oriented, with no displacement of staff or assumption of employee responsibilities, ensuring full compliance within Canadian labour laws and best practices.

Why Join Avolta as a Machine Learning Advisor?

• Contribute to a mission-driven organization advancing security solutions in the automotive sector and beyond.

• Collaborate with passionate, talented, and dedicated professionals.

• Influence the direction of Avolta’s machine learning and computer vision initiatives.
