• Model Development & Deployment: Build, train, and deploy machine learning models on cloud or edge environments for production use.

• IoT Data Integration: Ingest, process, and analyze large volumes of data from industrial IoT devices and sensors for real-time analytics.

• Model Monitoring & Maintenance: Implement monitoring solutions to track model performance, detect data drift, and ensure high prediction accuracy.

• Forecasting Solutions: Develop models for demand forecasting and resource optimization in manufacturing environments.

• MLOps Practices: Set up and manage CI/CD pipelines for seamless model deployment and maintenance.

• Cloud Solutions: Design and deploy scalable AI solutions using Azure services, including Azure Machine Learning and Data Factory.

• Domain Collaboration: Work closely with manufacturing domain experts to understand process parameters and optimize AI-driven insights.

• Visualization & Reporting: Present complex data analysis and forecasting results through dashboards and visual reports for stakeholders.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Expertise in time series analysis, forecasting models (ARIMA, LSTM, Prophet), and anomaly detection.

• Strong knowledge of predictive maintenance models and techniques such as RUL (Remaining Useful Life) prediction.

• Proficiency in Python for machine learning model development and SQL for data manipulation.

• Experience with cloud services, particularly Azure (Azure ML, App Services, Data Factory).

• Strong understanding of IoT data processing and industrial protocols (MQTT, OPC-UA).

• Experience in signal processing techniques for sensor data.

• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and equipment monitoring.

• Familiarity with predictive analytics in industrial settings.

• Proficiency in MLOps tools and CI/CD pipelines for AI models.

• Experience in containerization using Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes.

• Knowledge of data engineering concepts and feature store integration.

• Strong understanding of version control (Git) and deployment pipelines.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to communicate technical solutions to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with edge deployment technologies for AI models in manufacturing environments.

• Familiarity with real-time streaming analytics for IoT data processing.

• Exposure to AutoML tools for rapid prototyping and production.

• Knowledge of SCADA systems and integration with AI-driven analytics.
