About the Role
As a Industrial AI Scientist at Avathon, you will play a key role in designing and delivering advanced AI solutions with a strong emphasis on Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs) and ML. You will apply scientific rigor to develop scalable, production-ready machine learning systems that drive measurable business impact, working on challenging problems in forecasting, demand planning, renewable energy optimization, Normal behaviour modelling, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. You are expected to bring strong expertise in statistical modelling, Advanced ML engineering, and modern AI architectures, particularly in GenAI and LLM-based applications. This role offers the opportunity to work on high-impact projects that shape next-generation AI capabilities within the organization.
The work is equal parts applied research and production delivery. You will develop novel approaches where standard methods fall short and ship them into a platform used by enterprise customers. You will report into the Data Science org and work closely with product and engineering.
You Will
- Design, develop, and deploy machine learning and Generative AI solutions to solve complex business problems
- Build, fine-tune, and optimize Large Language Models (LLMs) and transformer-based architectures for real-world applications
