In this role, you’ll help shape the future of intelligent engineering and plant operations by developing AI/ML solutions that simplify work, boost productivity, and unlock new possibilities.
You’ll create smart tools that automate control logic, graphics, reporting, and workflow freeing engineers to focus on innovation. By analyzing system data, you’ll uncover patterns and build predictive tools that empower data-driven decision-making.
You’ll also bring Generative AI and natural language processing to life, turning everyday language into powerful configuration elements and intelligent support tools.
Your solutions will make a difference for operators too, through dashboards, SOP recommendations, automated reports, and smarter alarm management that improve safety and plant performance.
With predictive maintenance and anomaly detection, you’ll help prevent issues before they happen and keep operations running smoothly.
Collaboration is at the heart of this role. Working with engineers, developers, and operators, you’ll design user-friendly tools that integrate seamlessly, all while ensuring security, compliance, and reliability.
Join us to drive innovation, share knowledge, and make AI an empowering force in industrial automation.
