Skills required to become a Java Android developer

The first step toward establishing a successful career as a Java Android developer is learning the necessary skills. Let's take a look at the skills required to become a Java Android developer!

1. JAVA

The foundation of android development is Java. It is an object-oriented programming language (OOPS). There will be a learning curve for developers who use other languages to create applications as well as for those learning Java. Java ensures that all codes are clear and perform their functions efficiently.

2. XML

XML is used to encode data in internet-based applications. It has many similarities to HTML because it is a structured markup language. It allows for the quick and easy exchange of information between devices in an understandable manner. Developers use XML to create layouts that serve as the foundational UI definition for Android applications. As a result, developers must have a basic understanding of XML.

3. ANDROID SDK

SDKs, or Software Development Kits, are modules that allow developers to access functions such as cameras. If you want to integrate Facebook (or any other social media platform) with your app, you can do so using the library. Gradle, for example. All you need to do is download the code from Facebook and notify Gradle that you're using it. When the application compiles, the code remains in place. Many additional examples make it easier to use and integrate your app.

4. APIs

As a developer, you must keep in mind that your users may require the use of a third-party service for certain features. That is the purpose of APIs. APIs describe how to query your data in a secure manner. You can connect to any existing APIs or create your own through your app.

5. IDE (Integrated Development Environment):

Android Studio is the most popular IDE for Android app developers. It provides many SDK support features and auto-complete suggestions as you type the code. If you want to land a good opportunity, we recommend that you have a basic understanding of IDE.

ML/OpenCV Data Labeler

About the Role


We’re looking for a Machine Learning / Computer Vision Data Labeler to support customers onboarding and build high-quality training datasets for our computer vision products used in manufacturing environments. This role sits at the intersection of ML data operations and light product/customer work—you’ll help us understand what customers do on the factory floor, collect and analyze representative sample data from each station, and translate real-world processes into clear labeling instructions and reliable datasets.

This is not a super-senior role, but it does require strong ownership, attention to detail, and comfort working with highly confidential customer data.


Responsibilities


  • Coordinate and execute sample data capture across all manufacturing stations, ensuring coverage of real-world variation
  • Work with our on-site implementation team to validate camera setup outputs (camera position, field of view, recording settings, connectivity, sample clips/images).
  • Organize, clean, and curate datasets (images/video), including selecting representative samples, filtering unusable footage, and documenting capture conditions.
  • Perform data labeling/annotation for computer vision tasks (e.g., classification, object detection, segmentation, defect tagging, action/process step labeling—depending on the use case).
  • Create and maintain labeling taxonomies and annotation guidelines that are consistent, scalable, and easy for others to follow.
  • Run quality checks (spot checks, consistency reviews, edge-case handling) and partner with ML/Engineering to continuously improve label quality.
  • Conduct lightweight exploratory analysis on incoming datasets (e.g., distributions, coverage gaps, common failure modes, ambiguity hot-spots).
  • Flag data issues early (missing stations, misaligned camera views, insufficient examples, inconsistent definitions) and propose fixes.
  • Provide structured feedback to ML and product teams: what data we have, what we’re missing, and what will improve model performance.
  • Support customer onboarding by learning what the client does, mapping their workflow/stations, and translating their needs into data/labeling requirements.
  • Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders and occasionally with customers to align on labeling definitions, success criteria, timelines, and data handling expectations.
  • Document processes, station definitions, and dataset decisions so teams can move fast and stay aligned.
  • Work with sensitive/secret customer manufacturing data and follow strict security policies (access control, secure transfer/storage, need-to-know practices, and customer-specific handling requirements).

Qualifications

  • 1–4 years of experience in a role involving data labeling/annotation, ML data operations, computer vision datasets
  • Working knowledge of computer vision fundamentals (classification vs detection vs segmentation; what labels are used for; why consistency matters).
  • Experience with labeling tools such as CVAT, Labelbox, V7, Supervisely, or similar (or the ability to learn quickly).
  • Comfort working with data formats/workflows (e.g., CSV/JSON annotations, COCO-style formats, dataset folders, basic versioning concepts).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to explain labeling decisions and customer workflows clearly.
  • Professional maturity and discretion—ability to handle highly confidential customer data.
  • German language ok, strong communication in English preferred

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to manufacturing environments (industrial processes, station-based workflows, quality inspection).
  • Familiarity with camera systems / video capture pipelines (e.g., frame rate, resolution trade-offs, lighting impacts, field of view).

Offer Details

  • Full-time employment via temporary agency (EoR)
  • Remote only, full-time dedication (40 hours/week)
  • EU Timezones
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
  • Dynamic and inclusive work environment focused on innovation and teamwork
