About the Role

We are seeking a highly technical and results-driven AI Engineer to help drive operational efficiency, optimize complex logistics workflows, and reduce costs across the organization. In this role, you will leverage Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and predictive analytics to transform operational challenges into scalable, production-ready solutions. The ideal candidate combines strong data engineering and machine learning expertise with a deep understanding of logistics, supply chain, warehousing, and field operations, with Python serving as the primary development language. 

Responsibilities

End-to-End AI/ML Development

• Design, build, train, validate, deploy, and monitor production-ready machine learning models.

• Ensure model performance, reliability, and accuracy in live operational environments.

AI Agents & Workflow Automation

• Design and deploy AI agents that automate complex, multi-step operational workflows and decision-making processes.

• Build and scale agentic workflows and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions.
Operational Automation & Optimization

• Automate repetitive operational workflows, reporting processes, and decision-support systems.
• Deliver measurable improvements in efficiency, productivity, and cost reduction.

Data Engineering & Pipeline Development

• Build robust ETL and data pipelines to ingest, clean, transform, and process structured and unstructured datasets.

• Work with operational data sources, including inventory, routing, labor, and service events.
Systems Integration

• Integrate AI tools and predictive models with warehouse, logistics, and operational software systems.

• Rapidly prototype solutions that generate immediate business impact.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Operations, Finance, Facilities, Procurement, and IT teams to identify business challenges and develop AI-driven solutions.

• Create decision-support dashboards and communicate technical insights to stakeholders.
