Machine Learning Engineer

Machine Learning Engineer

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our team and help us push the boundaries of what's possible in smart manufacturing. In this role, you will design, build, train, and deploy machine learning models that power our robotic sheet metal forming systems. You'll work closely with our engineering team to transform raw data into actionable intelligence, enabling our robots to produce parts with greater precision, speed, and adaptability.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of research and production, someone who is just as comfortable wrangling messy datasets as they are architecting scalable ML pipelines. If you're passionate about applying machine learning to real-world manufacturing challenges, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build, train, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models to support and improve our robotic manufacturing processes.
• Identify, collect, clean, and organize data from diverse sources to construct high-quality datasets for model training and evaluation.
• Develop and maintain scalable ML pipelines and infrastructure using cloud platforms, with a focus on Azure.
• Leverage Databricks and Apache Spark for large-scale data processing and model development.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including robotics, software, and manufacturing engineers to integrate ML solutions into production workflows.
• Stay current with the latest developments in machine learning and AI and evaluate their applicability to our manufacturing challenges.
• Write clean, well-documented, and production-quality Python code.
• Communicate findings, results, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Background & Experience:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field with 6+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning and AI; or a Ph.D. in a relevant field with 3+ years of experience.
• Strong experience designing, building, training, and testing machine learning models end-to-end.
• Proven ability to work with raw, unstructured, or incomplete data, including data collection, cleaning, labeling, and dataset construction.
• Proficiency in Python for ML development, data processing, and scripting.
• Familiarity with cloud computing frameworks and services, with a preference for Microsoft Azure.
• Experience with Databricks and Apache Spark for data engineering and model development.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Machine learning experience in CAD and computational geometry applications.
• Experience working in the industrial or manufacturing space.
• Experience with robotics, including robotic perception, control, or planning.

$160,000 - $190,000 a year The base salary range for this role is dependent on experience, qualifications, and overall alignment with the scope of the position. In addition to base compensation, Machina Labs offers a competitive benefits package and stock option participation.
