About the role As a Senior AI/ML Research Engineer, you will apply advanced AI/ML methods to engineering and industrial use cases. You will combine research, experimentation, evaluation, and production grade software engineering to turn promising models, methods, and existing tools into reliable, agent-accessible capabilities. This role is ideal for a technically strong researcher and builder who can move from an engineering problem to a validated approach, then help convert that approach into a reusable production component. What you will do • Apply AI/ML methods to challenging engineering and industrial use cases. • Research, prototype, and evaluate approaches using frontier AI models and related techniques. • Convert existing models, tools, and analytical capabilities into agent-accessible artifacts. • Translate successful experiments into reusable software and platform components. • Design and execute evaluation, benchmarking, and validation approaches. • Collaborate with data engineers, software engineers, cloud architects, and engineering stakeholders. • Contribute to requirements, specifications, constitutions, contracts, context, and AI harnesses. • Use GitHub workflows, automated testing, and CI/CD practices to integrate and validate work. • Deploy and evaluate capabilities using GCP or comparable cloud services. • Communicate technical findings through internal documentation, publications, patents, or open-source contributions. Required qualifications • Master’s degree or PhD in a relevant technical field. • Five to eight years of relevant professional experience. • Experience applying AI/ML methods to engineering, manufacturing, industrial, or comparable technical use cases. • Experience building agentic AI systems. • Experience converting models and tools into agent-accessible artifacts. • Experience with GCP or comparable cloud platforms. • Experience with GitHub, CI/CD, and automated testing. • Evidence of technical contribution through publications, patents, or open-source work. What success looks like • You deliver validated AI/ML capabilities for multiple engineering use cases. • You convert selected existing models and tools into reusable, agent-accessible artifacts. • You establish repeatable evaluation and benchmarking practices. • You contribute production-ready components to the shared architecture. • Your work demonstrates measurable value for engineering users.
