This role requires both strategic and hands-on technical expertise, with the ability to operate autonomously, evaluate trade-offs, recommend optimal approaches, and own the end-to-end development of impactful AI solutions. The engineer will work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, providing thought leadership in cutting-edge AI technologies, including deep learning, graph neural networks, generative AI, and retrieval augmented system.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 5+ years of professional experience delivering advanced AI / ML solutions in industry or engineering environments.
• Strong expertise in Python and AI/ML libraries: PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit‑Learn, Keras, NumPy, Pandas, JAX, XGBoost, PyTorch Geometric, OpenCV, Transformers, LangChain, Pinecone.
• Proven hands‑on experience deploying models in production and building scalable AI software.
• Deep understanding of advanced modelling methods: deep learning, GNNs, computer vision, sensor fusion, vector embeddings, RAG, generative AI.
• Experience designing AI/ML architectures and providing strategic technical guidance to enterprise clients.
• Proficiency with cloud compute platforms for training and deployment (Azure, AWS, GCP, or similar).
• Strong communication skills, able to influence architecture decisions and explain complex concepts clearly.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or related STEM field.

Desired Skills and Experience:
