Role Overview

We are seeking a Data Scientist to help build the next generation of industrial intelligence for our operations, reliability, maintenance, and performance optimization. This role sits at the intersection of applied machine learning, large-scale industrial telemetry, physics-informed analytics, and cloud software platforms.


You will develop and productionize advanced AI/ML models that transform high-frequency operational turbine data into actionable customer intelligence — reducing forced outages, improving availability, lowering O&M costs, and enabling predictive operations across fleets of industrial assets.


Key Responsibilities

Machine Learning

  • Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models for:
  • Predictive maintenance, Anomaly detection, Failure prediction, Remaining useful life (RUL) estimation, Operational optimization, Fleet-wide analytics
  • Build and train models using large-scale industrial telemetry and operational datasets.
  • Apply advanced ML techniques including:
  • Time-series forecasting, Deep learning, Statistical modeling, Unsupervised learning, Physics-informed ML approaches
  • Develop algorithms capable of handling noisy, sparse, and real-world operational data.
  • Evaluate model performance using operational KPIs and real-world production feedback.

Production ML & MLOps

  • Build scalable production pipelines to operationalize ML models into customer-facing products.
  • Develop infrastructure for:
  • Feature engineering, Automated retraining, Model monitoring, Drift detection, Experiment tracking, CI/CD for ML workflows
  • Deploy models across cloud and edge-computing environments.
  • Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to integrate ML capabilities into SaaS applications and operational workflows.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with controls engineers, reliability engineers, product managers, and software teams to solve complex industrial problems.
  • Translate operational challenges into scalable data science solutions.
  • Communicate technical findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Contribute to technical strategy and mentor junior engineers and data scientists.


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related quantitative field.
  • 3+ years of experience in machine learning, applied AI, or production data science systems.
  • Strong proficiency in:
  • Python, SQL, Scientific computing and data engineering workflows
  • Experience with modern ML frameworks and tools such as:
  • PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, Spark
  • Experience building and deploying production ML systems in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Time-series analytics, Statistical inference, Feature engineering, Distributed systems, Production software engineering practices
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes is a plus.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in industrial systems, IIoT, energy, power generation, aerospace, or reliability engineering.
  • Familiarity with:
  • Data Streaming platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP services), MLflow, Real-time analytics systems
  • Experience deploying ML systems in operationally critical or high-availability environments.
  • Knowledge of digital twins, edge AI, or physics-informed machine learning techniques.
