Demonstrated data and ML engineering at scale, including distributed processing with Spark (PySpark) or equivalent, efficient handling of large time-series and binary signal data, and pragmatic reasoning about compute cost, runtime, and reprocessing risk

Responsibilities

• In this role, you will extract, preprocess, and analyze data from various sensor sources to identify and enhance diagnostic features.
• You will determine the appropriate modeling techniques for each problem, train and deploy predictive maintenance models, and act as the solution architect for assigned ML initiatives.
• You will also build and scale distributed data and feature pipelines, design and run data mining and annotation workflows, and develop robust ML software in Python.
• Additionally, you will collaborate with the research and engineering team, work closely with MLOps and Data Engineering teams, and stay updated with the latest advancements in the field.
• Extract, preprocess, and analyze data from various sensor sources to identify and enhance diagnostic features and fault-specific signatures.
• Determine the appropriate modeling techniques for each problem, including classical Machine Learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, anomaly detection, Artificial Neural Networks, Deep Learning, and hybrid approaches.
• Train, validate, and deploy predictive maintenance models to accurately identify and predict machinery faults, including CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, and other time-series approaches.
• Experience building representative benchmark datasets, validating models against reviewed ground truth, analyzing false positives and false negatives, and creating repeatable evaluation or regression workflows is highly desirable

Requirements

• Hands-on experience architecting and delivering production ML solutions on AWS is required, including several of: SageMaker (Training, Processing, Pipelines, Model Registry, Endpoints), S3, Athena, AWS Glue, EMR, Lambda, Step Functions, ECS/Fargate, Timestream, Aurora/RDS, Amazon Bedrock, IoT Core, CloudWatch, and IAM
• Proficiency in scientific and ML/DL frameworks and libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar tools
• Working knowledge of SQL (MySQL/Aurora, Athena) and the ability to independently explore, validate, and troubleshoot large and imperfect industrial datasets
• Experience using Large Language Models, AI-assisted coding, and agentic AI tools for software and ML development; familiarity with designing or integrating LLM- or agent-based workflows for data processing, analysis, decision support, or automation is highly desirable
• Strong understanding of time-series modeling and evaluation, including the ability to select appropriate techniques based on the physical problem, data characteristics, available ground truth, and operational requirements
• Strong software engineering and programming skills in Python, with experience developing modular, testable, maintainable production code; proficiency with Git, code review, unit/integration/regression testing, debugging, CI/CD, and reproducible development practices on noisy, large, imperfect industrial datasets
• Demonstrated research work in high-quality journals or significant applied work on related subjects is a plus
• Master's or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related field
• Proven experience in Predictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring with a focus on Signal Processing techniques such as FFT, Short Time Fourier Transform, Time Synchronous Averaging, Wavelet Transform, Spectral Kurtosis, Spectral Correlation, Envelope Analysis, Hilbert Transform, and related methods
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, including the ability to collaborate with condition-monitoring domain experts, MLOps engineers, Data Engineers, Product, and other stakeholders

Preferred

• Physics-informed ML and experience with additional modalities (electrical/current signature analysis, ultrasound, oil analysis) are a plus
• Experience designing data mining and annotation workflows in partnership with domain experts, including label taxonomy design, labeling tooling, label quality control, and converting noisy expert feedback into model-ready ground truth
