You will transform complex and ambiguous business challenges into scalable, end-to-end solutions using a variety of machine learning techniques, including supervised learning, computer vision, and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across Production, Process Engineering, Controls, and Quality to address critical operational challenges. This position requires hands-on experience with model development, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance in production environments, as well as the ability to work with diverse and multi-modal datasets, including images, sensor data, voice, text, and structured data.

Key Responsibilities: -

• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models to enhance factory and warehouse operations.
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to identify and solve high-impact operational challenges.
• Build and maintain end-to-end machine learning pipelines, including data ingestion, preprocessing, model training, deployment, and monitoring.
• Evaluate and benchmark machine learning models using statistical methodologies to ensure optimal performance and business value.
• Develop robust monitoring and alerting mechanisms to ensure reliability and rapid issue resolution for production models.
• Integrate and analyze heterogeneous datasets, including image data, sensor outputs, voice recordings, text, and tabular datasets.
• Write clean, scalable, and maintainable code to translate research concepts into production-ready solutions.

Required Qualifications: -

• Strong proficiency in Python, particularly for high-performance and data-intensive applications.
• Hands-on experience with at least one modern deep learning framework, such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
• Expertise in one or more of the following domains:
  • Computer Vision
  • Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • Recommender Systems
  • Operations Research
• Solid understanding of statistics and experimental methods for model evaluation and comparison.
• Proven experience deploying, monitoring, and maintaining machine learning solutions in production environments.
• Strong commitment to writing clean, modular, and sustainable code.

Preferred Qualifications: -

• Experience working within manufacturing, industrial automation, logistics, or warehouse environments.
• Familiarity with multi-modal data processing and integration techniques.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with the capacity to thrive in fast-paced and ambiguous environments.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.
