Senior Data Scientist I

Job Description:

We are looking for a passionate Senior Data Scientist with strong hands-on expertise in

AI/ML, Generative AI, Computer Vision, LLMs, Agentic AI, and Edge AI to join our team. The

role will focus on identifying, designing, and enabling AI-driven capabilities across

industrial automation platforms, helping drive intelligent decision-making, operational

efficiency, and next-generation smart manufacturing solutions across edge and cloud

environments.

Key Responsibilities

Machine Learning and Model Analysis

Apply machine learning, statistical, and experimental design techniques to assess

model behavior and performance in industrial and real-time operational

environments.

Evaluate the impact of training methodologies, industrial data sources

(sensor/PLC/SCADA streams), model architectures, and deployment strategies

across edge and cloud.

Review and assess third-party or open-source models, runtimes, and tools from

perspectives of safety, robustness, latency, reliability, and end-to-end industrial

integration.

Research and Prototyping

Drive research, experimentation, and prototyping of advanced AI/ML techniques

tailored for industrial automation use cases across edge and cloud platforms.

General

Explore innovative approaches in areas such as anomaly detection, predictive

maintenance, vision-based inspection, hallucination detection, explainability, and

industrial AI trustworthiness.

Lead proof-of-concepts (PoCs) and experimental studies to evaluate readiness of

new AI methods, models, and metrics for industrial deployment.

Collaborate with engineering teams to transition successful prototypes into

scalable, production-grade industrial solutions.

Design scalable system architectures for complex AI/LLM-driven industrial

applications, ensuring seamless integration with OT systems, data pipelines, and

enterprise IT systems.

Collaboration, Documentation, and Governance Support

Collaborate closely with Line-of-Business (LOB), product, and platform teams to

operationalize AI solutions in industrial automation products.

Guide and support teams in integrating AI models into Edge platforms, ensuring low

latency inference and high reliability.

Contribute to documentation, governance, and best practices for deployment,

monitoring, and lifecycle management of AI solutions in industrial ecosystems.

AI Evaluation

Conduct comprehensive evaluations of models including robustness, latency,

explainability, fairness, reliability, and operational safety in industrial settings.

Develop benchmark datasets (including IoT/industrial datasets), evaluation

frameworks, and automated testing pipelines for consistent model validation.

Analyze model architectures, industrial data characteristics, and inference

workflows to optimize performance in resource-constrained edge environments.

Partner with engineering and domain teams to align evaluation metrics with

industrial standards, validation processes, and deployment guardrails.

(External) English Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or a

related quantitative discipline (or equivalent experience).

Proven experience in developing, validating, and deploying machine learning

models in production or industrial/pre-production environments.

Strong proficiency in Python with hands-on experience in data engineering, ML

experimentation, and analytics workflows.

Strong understanding of experimental design, ensemble learning

(bagging/boosting), statistical analysis, time-series modeling, and forecasting using

lag features.

Expertise in Microsoft Azure ecosystem: Databricks, Blob Storage, AI Foundry,

Container Registry, Azure Functions, and Web Services.

Hands-on experience with Computer Vision systems, Edge AI deployment, and real

time inference optimization on industrial hardware.

Experience with containerization and CI/CD tools: Docker, Git, GitHub.

Knowledge of FastAPI, Flask, Streamlit, or Gradio for building AI-enabled

applications and dashboards.

Strong foundation in NLP, Time Series Forecasting, Feature Engineering, and

Predictive Modeling.

Experience with data processing tools: Pandas, NumPy, PySpark; and visualization

tools such as Matplotlib, Power BI, and Plotly.

Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex

technical concepts to cross-functional teams.

Experience with LLM/SLM deployment: safetensors, Llama.cpp, ONNX Runtime,

Azure OpenAI, RAG pipelines, and prompt engineering.

Strong proficiency in AI/ML frameworks: TensorFlow/Keras, PyTorch, Scikit-learn,

LangChain, ONNX, Vector Databases, LangGraph.

Preferred Qualifications

Hands-on experience implementing AI evaluation techniques such as grounding

validation, explainability methods, and model risk assessment.
