AI/ML Engineer III
Technergetics — Utica/Rome, NY area
A Note About Our AI-Assisted Interview Process
We use an AI application, “Alex Taylor,” to conduct first-round interviews for this position. The interview takes approximately 35 minutes. If we would like to interview you, you will receive an email invitation from “Alex” within ten business days of your application.
Alex is available 24/7, which lets us conduct far more first-round interviews than our human staff's schedule alone would allow. Technergetics HR (and additional staff, as applicable) reviews every first-round interview. AI supports our decision-making, but all decisions about who advances to a first or second interview are made by our human staff. Candidates selected for a second-round interview will meet with the HR director and hiring manager.
Any data collected during the interview process, including AI-generated insights, is handled with care and confidentiality, in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Your responses are processed only to provide feedback on your skills and knowledge. Data is stored securely and will not be shared with third parties without your consent.
We understand some candidates may be hesitant to interview with an AI application — it is by no means perfect at this time. But as a company dedicated to research and development in AI/ML and other technologies, we see this as a chance to practice what we preach.

Position Details
Salary Range: $125,000–$175,000 annually. The final offer depends on how many position qualifications the candidate meets, as well as education and experience. This is a full-time, exempt position.
