Job Title: AI Scientist - Manufacturing Knowledge Management
Requisition ID: 2645
Posting Start Date: 10/07/2026
About the Role
The Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) is seeking an AI Scientist - Manufacturing Knowledge Management to conduct applied research on how AI can understand manufacturing environments; the people, machines, and processes and represent that knowledge in forms that drive the agentic AI manufacturing applications reasoning and decision-support. The role works directly with engineers and domain experts to formalize tacit expertise knowledge into AI-ready knowledge assets through elicitation, knowledge modelling, and applied AI research.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate captured expertise knowledge into structured knowledge representations; ontologies, decision rules, process flows, and knowledge graph schemas that power the agentic AIs reasoning over manufacturing context.
- Elicit tacit expertise from manufacturing domain experts through structured interviews, workshops, and process walkthroughs to populate the agentic AI knowledge base.
- Conduct applied research on reasoning rules and inference methods to validate, enrich, and evolve knowledge assets for manufacturing decision-support.
- Partner with AI engineers to integrate knowledge structures into LLM-, knowledge graph- and RAG-based agentic applications.
- Develop reusable frameworks for knowledge capture across manufacturing use cases (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing, precision engineering, aerospace maintenance).
- Advance applied research on expert-in-the-loop methods for knowledge discovery and evolution in manufacturing.
- Publish findings via internal reports, technical disclosures, and external academic or industry papers.
Required Skills
- Background in AI, cognitive science, information science, or knowledge management.
- Experience with knowledge representation technologies (ontologies, RDF, OWL, SPARQL, or knowledge graphs) is an advantage; adjacent skills considered.
- Ability to communicate and build rapport with non-technical domain experts.
- Applied-research mindset; curious, rigorous, and comfortable with ambiguity.
- Familiarity with manufacturing or industrial processes is a plus.
- Familiarity with knowledge capture tools or business process model and notation (BPMN) process modeling is an advantage.
Qualifications
- PhD in AI, Cognitive Science, Information Science, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
- 1-3 years of applied research experience in knowledge engineering, AI, or a related domain.
