About the role

This role is an opportunity for a seasoned machine learning engineer passionate about applying Deep Learning and advanced analytics to industrial innovation. You will lead the development of AI-driven solutions in areas such as industrial copilots, foundation models, intelligent monitoring systems and industrial computer vision. The position demands creativity, technical excellence, and a strong drive to push the boundaries of applied AI in real-world industrial contexts.

Responsibilities

- Lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced analytics components within industrial systems, with a focus on Generative AI, LLMs, computer vision, and signal processing.

- Architect and implement deep learning-powered solutions such as industrial copilots, intelligent assistants, and synthetic data generators for engineering and operational use cases.

- Fine‑tune and evaluate LLMs and generative architectures (e.g., transformers, GANs, VAEs, diffusion models) for industrial domains.

- Develop RAG pipelines and agentic workflows to enhance model performance and usability.

- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including software engineers, MLOps specialists, and domain experts to deliver scalable, production‑ready AI solutions.

- Conduct feasibility studies, rapid prototyping, and experimental research to validate new ideas and technologies.

- Contribute to thought leadership through publications, patents, internal workshops, and external presentations.

- Mentor junior team members and foster a culture of innovation and continuous learning.

Qualifications

- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.

- 5+ years of commercial experience in data science, with at least 2 years focused on Generative AI or LLMs.

- Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face).

- Hands‑on experience with fine‑tuning foundation models (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Mistral) and building Generative AI applications.

- Familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG systems, and vector databases.

- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), containerization (Docker), and MLOps tools (e.g., Airflow, DVC, ClearML).

- Solid understanding of signal processing, time series analysis, and computer vision.

- Proven ability to handle large‑scale, heterogeneous industrial datasets.

- Excellent communication skills and ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable insights.

- Strong motivation for applied research and innovation in industrial domains.

Beneficial Experience

- Contributions to open‑source deep‑learning projects or relevant publications.

- Successful participation in AI competitions (e.g., Kaggle).

- Experience with industrial domains such as energy, manufacturing, or infrastructure.

What we offer

A hybrid and flexible working model to promote a better work‑life balance, a budget for home office support, and the opportunity to do 16 hours a year of volunteer work. You will enjoy health insurance, access to an on‑site medical center, sports group participation, online learning platforms, partner discounts, a shuttle bus to commute to the facilities, and financial support for your studies.
