Deploy workflow automation and model‑serving components in event‑driven environments integrated with PLM, MES, CMMS, ERP, and unified data layers.
Contribute to observability tools for monitoring inference performance, data quality, and workflow reliability.
Collaborate with digital, manufacturing, and corporate technology teams to map current workflows, identify automation opportunities, and integrate solutions safely.
Ensure all deployed AI/automation workflows include human‑in‑the‑loop gates, audit trails, and compliance features required for production operations.
Document integration contracts, workflow logic, data flows, and operational runbooks to support scaling and handoff.
Required Qualifications
Strong stakeholder and cross‑functional communication skills; able to gather workflow requirements and convert them into technical automation.
3-6 years of experience in machine learning engineering, MLOps, or backend workflow automation.
Proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow) and data processing libraries.
Experience building and deploying containerized services (Docker; familiarity with Kubernetes preferred).
Understanding of MLOps practices: data pipelines, model versioning, evaluation, CI/CD for ML, monitoring, and retraining.
Experience working with off‑the‑shelf models (OCR/IDP, CV, STT, RAG) and integrating them into workflow pipelines.
Familiarity with event‑driven architectures, IoT or UNS patterns, and integration with enterprise systems.
Experience with APIs, schema‑based integration, and data contracts.
Strong problem‑solving skills with an ability to simplify workflows into modular, reusable automation components.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience automating workflows in manufacturing, logistics, or enterprise business processes.
Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Flyte, Prefect, Temporal).
Familiarity with data engineering concepts, time‑series data, and semantic/ontology‑driven data structures.
Exposure to observability systems (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) for monitoring workflow reliability or model performance.
Experience integrating AI models with PLM, MES, ERP, CMMS, or similar industrial systems.
Interest in developing adaptive, human‑in‑the‑loop workflow automations that blend ML, rules, and operational context.
