Tasks and Qualifications:

What You Will do in This Role:

• Translate business problems in intralogistics planning and operations into clear, quantitative problem statements (analytics, machine learning, optimization, and AI).

• Contribute to the solution development lifecycle and progressively take ownership across phases, including:

• Partnering with business stakeholders and product managers on problem framing and ideation

• Building proof-of-concept (PoC) prototypes with peer AI scientists

• Collaborating with engineering teams on MVP deployment, productization, and iterative enhancements

• Work with real-world and synthetic datasets to develop, train, and evaluate models.

• Design and develop forecasting, machine learning, and optimization models for intralogistics use cases.

• Apply AI techniques to problems such as:

• Planning, scheduling, and resource allocation

• Automation, autonomy, and control strategies

• Prediction and optimization of supply chain and intralogistics systems

• Design and build simulation tools to support model training, validation, and testing of intralogistics processes.

• Develop model-centric solution architectures that integrate ML models, data pipelines, and inference services.

• Write clean, maintainable code following software engineering best practices and internal standards.

• Support subject-matter experts and engineering teams in delivering commercial AI and autonomy solutions.

What We Are Looking For:

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related + 3 years of relevant experience or Master's degree in Engineering or related + 2 years of relevant experience.
• 4+ years of experience with ML frameworks and toolchains (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, or equivalents)
• 4+ years of working knowledge of software engineering fundamentals (e.g., version control, testing, and code quality practices)
• Strong foundation in statistics and machine learning algorithms
• Proficiency in at least one programming language commonly used in AI/ML (e.g., Python, C++, Java)
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Ability to travel up to 15% of the time

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience working with cloud platforms (Azure or GCP)
• Familiarity with optimization and/or operations research concepts
• Experience with reinforcement learning and/or large language models (LLMs), including LLM-based applications
• Interest in applied AI within supply chain, logistics, or industrial automation

Location & Authorization: This is a hybrid role requiring proximity to our office in Atlanta GA. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future sponsorship.
