Job Description

Responsibilities

Design, build, and deploy production-grade ML models for predictive analytics and condition monitoring applications across tire products and manufacturing domains, moving solutions from prototype to operational systems used by engineering teams
Apply physics-informed and hybrid physics-ML approaches that embed domain engineering knowledge directly into model architectures, ensuring predictions are physically consistent and trusted by engineering stakeholders
Develop and deploy computer vision systems for image-based inspection and classification tasks
Build and maintain scalable data pipelines for ingesting, processing, and serving high-frequency sensor streams from connected physical systems, supporting both real-time and batch analytics use cases
Implement Generative AI and LLM-based tools to enhance engineering productivity, including knowledge retrieval systems and AI-assisted workflows, with emphasis on on-premises deployment too
Build and operate end-to-end MLOps infrastructure: experiment tracking, model registry, automated retraining, data drift monitoring, and production model serving to maintain model quality throughout the product lifecycle
Partner with R&D, simulation, vehicle dynamics, and manufacturing engineering teams to identify AI opportunities, translate domain requirements into ML problem formulations, and drive adoption of AI-powered tools
Mentor junior ML engineers, conduct code reviews, and contribute to the continuous growth of the team's technical capabilities and delivery standards

Skills & Qualifications

Master's degree (or Bachelor's with strong experience) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related engineering discipline;
Minimum 6-8 years of applied AI/ML engineering experience with a physical engineering domain component
Demonstrated track record of deploying ML models into production environments used by engineering teams or operational systems — not prototype-only work
Proficiency in Python ML stack (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) and hands-on experience with physics-informed or physics-hybrid ML; ability to assess model outputs for physical consistency
Experience with sensor or time-series data from physical systems (industrial, automotive, aerospace, or equivalent) including signal processing (FFT, wavelet decomposition, feature extraction from vibration/acceleration data)
Practical experience building RAG pipelines or LLM-integrated workflows in engineering or industrial contexts; familiarity with local LLM deployment for IP-sensitive environments
MLOps and deployment skills: MLflow or equivalent experiment tracking, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD for ML, cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, or GCP Vertex AI), and production model serving
Strong cross-functional communication skills — able to explain model uncertainty to a test engineer and tire mechanics to a data scientist; experience collaborating with non-ML engineering stakeholders
Preferred: background in tire, automotive, motorsport, or industrial manufacturing domains; familiarity with FEA tools (Abaqus, ANSYS) as data sources; experience with edge AI deployment (TFLite, ONNX, TinyML)
Comfortable working in a global, matrixed organization across multiple time zones and regions; able to collaborate effectively with distributed engineering and business teams in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific
