Job Description
We are seeking a Software Engineer II, Machine Learning Systems, to help deploy and operationalize machine learning solutions used in non-destructive testing applications within the nuclear industry. In this role, you will support the development of machine learning workflows by ensuring they can be packaged, deployed, and maintained in reproducible, stable environments for pilot and production use.
This is not a research-focused data science role. Instead, the position centers on machine learning system integration, deployment, infrastructure awareness, and engineering execution. You will work closely with data scientists and subject-matter experts to validate solutions, implement deployment best practices, and integrate machine learning capabilities into existing systems.
The environment includes on-premises, regulated, and occasionally air-gapped systems where considerations such as networking, hardware constraints, dependency management, and operational reliability are critical. Projects may involve visual inspection data, ultrasonic signals, eddy current inspection data, and other scientific or industrial data formats.
Early projects will focus on executing well-defined deployment and integration efforts. As the team grows, you will have opportunities to help shape deployment standards, reproducibility practices, and system integration patterns across multiple machine learning initiatives.
Compensation: $40-$60/hr
Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
Employees in this role will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package starting on day one of employment, including options for medical, dental, and vision insurance. Eligibility to enroll in the 401(k) retirement plan begins after 90 days of employment.
We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
