About The Position

Manufacturing is undergoing its fourth industrial revolution, with factory operations increasingly driven by real-time applications that combine process and context data with advanced ML and AI algorithms. This is unlocking a staggering opportunity to improve the efficiency and productivity of existing manufacturing processes. As a Manufacturing AI company, Oden is at the forefront of this revolution. We combine large-scale data processing architectures and advanced AI and ML algorithms within the Oden platform so manufacturing operations teams can continuously monitor, analyze, and optimize their production, across a diverse set of processes and conditions. Our goal is to maximize efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in the manufacturing domain - to help True Makers Make Things Better! Culture We obsess over customers. Everything we do is to create profound results and delight for our customers. Every Viking cares about the purpose of the product and company, and prioritizes work based on customer end results. When in doubt, we go to the Gemba – we’re happy to put on steel toe boots and hit the factory floor to work with the production manager. We move fast and follow through – we live by transparent and scientific thinking, act with urgency, and put in the work to find the best ideas with those around us. We elevate each other by giving and receiving direct, honest feedback and holding ourselves and others to a high standard to help the team rise, deliver, and win together. “Be True Makers to Serve True Makers.” We’re building a community that fuels innovation and accelerates our pace and impact. We always ask if there’s a better way to do something, even if it's unconventional – then we try it. We aim for bold yet simple solutions that cut through complexity and drive meaningful progress. As an ML Data Engineer, you will be responsible for researching, developing and implementing data and machine learning pipelines and systems to support applications that enable operations teams to manage and optimize the manufacturing process as effectively as possible. Applications for these systems include continuous predictions of quality, cost and machine failure, delivering live recommendations for process optimization, and identifying anomalies for real-time alerting etc. As part of developing these systems, you will work with manufacturing data, including real-time sensor readings and measurements; context about this data collected from external systems; outcomes such as quality/cost/yield; and knowledge about the process from structured and unstructured sources. You will be expected to build systems and models that can learn from these high dimensional and heterogeneous timeseries datasets, and that can be adaptive to changing process conditions and explicit and implicit feedback. You will work with the latest techniques from deep learning, AI for timeseries, reinforcement learning, and recommendation systems to enable the applications. You will work closely with Oden’s Product team to build these systems as foundations for our product, and are expected to participate in the end-to-end engineering, carrying projects from conceptualization to development to deployment. You will also work closely with our customer success teams to develop an understanding of the process and deliver and validate results in production environments.
