TIMP Model Engineer

Risk Model Engineer - Pipeline Integrity (Transmission)

Location: Remote (US or Canada)

Department: Insights (AI/ML)

Reports to: Data Science Team Lead

About the Role

Irth is building a new AI-driven threat and risk management platform for pipeline asset integrity. The platform brings together three capabilities that have never previously lived in one place at Irth:

• A governed, cross-product data platform built on Databricks and Azure.
• An AI-powered ingestion layer that normalizes, repairs, and enriches customer data without services-heavy onboarding.
• A reusable analytical layer that runs industry-standard, Irth-developed, and customer-built risk models against that data.

We are hiring a Risk Model Engineer to own the transmission risk models within this analytical layer.

Operators already run our probabilistic threat models in production inside the application. In this role, you will translate those models to the new platform, extend coverage across the transmission threat set, and build Irth's own model library alongside our existing model suite.

Your work will produce risk outputs that pipeline operators need to understand, defend, and stand behind with regulators. The role spans physics-based probabilistic models and machine learning, feeding reliability calculations that remain explainable and defensible.

You will own the model content: what it computes, why it computes it, and the evidence that demonstrates it is correct.

Productionization-including serving, pipelines, deployment, and monitoring infrastructure-is owned by dedicated ML Ops and data engineering teams that you will work with closely every day.

Key Responsibilities

Model Migration & Integration

• Migrate existing probabilistic model code to the risk management platform and validate results against the current implementation.
• Integrate model inputs from diverse datasets sourced across Irth's product offerings.

Model Development

• Extend threat coverage across domains including:
• Corrosion
• Cracking
• Third-party damage
• Outside forces
• Other transmission pipeline threats
• Design and build time-series, anomaly detection, and geospatial models applied to inspection, sensor, and maintenance data.
• Implement industry-standard probabilist
