Job Description


Position Summary:
We are seeking an experienced AI expert (e.g., Machine Learning Engineer, Software Engineer, or similar) to develop a limited-scope, AI-driven tool for conducting preliminary fidelity assessments of AERO reading curriculum lessons. AERO serves children in Pre-K through Grade 2 through one-on-one teacher–student sessions. The goal is to create an intelligent system that processes video recordings and/or cleaned transcripts to identify deviations from lesson plans, verify instructional adherence, and flag key segments for further human review.

Responsibilities:
  • Data Input & Preprocessing
  • Handle raw video and cleaned transcript inputs (with PII removed)
  • Integrate or develop speech-to-text transcription capabilities
  • Duration Analysis
  • Extract or utilize timestamps to calculate time spent on each instructional activity
  • Compare actual durations with scheduled lesson plan timing
  • Activity Completion Verification
  • Cross-reference transcript/video content with lesson plans
  • Ensure prescribed activities occur in correct sequence
  • Instructional Completeness Assessment
  • Detect presence of required letters, sounds, and vocabulary elements
  • Sentiment Analysis
  • Identify teacher praise
  • Evaluate emotional tone of the session
  • Adherence to Lesson Script
  • Map transcripts/videos to scripted lesson steps
  • Flag deviations for review
  • Child Engagement Metrics
  • Implement metrics (e.g., word counts) to estimate child participation levels
  • Testing & Refinement
  • Validate functionalities using representative sample data
  • Iteratively improve solution accuracy and performance
  • Documentation & Delivery
  • Deliver code with complete technical documentation
  • Provide usage instructions and test results
  • Ensure hand-off readiness for non-technical stakeholders

Requirements:
  • Expertise in Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
  • Strong background in Natural Language Processing or Computer Vision
  • Programming proficiency in Python (or comparable languages)
  • Experience with AI frameworks/libraries such as:
  • TensorFlow, PyTorch, spaCy, OpenCV, Hugging Face Transformers
  • Capability to handle video/audio transcription, timestamp extraction, and segmentation
  • Understanding of data privacy, including de-identification and ethical AI practices
  • Ability to communicate complex solutions in a clear and accessible way
  • Experience delivering production-ready, documented codebases
Education & Experience:
  • Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field
  • Demonstrated experience building and deploying ML/NLP/CV-based applications
  • Portfolio or GitHub showcasing relevant projects, especially those intersecting with education, speech processing, or instructional analysis
