Machine Learning Engineer
Job Description
Work onsite in Lisle, IL to accelerate engineering design cycles by delivering physics-informed machine learning surrogates on Azure.
Responsibilities
- Design and train surrogate models, including neural networks, Gaussian processes, gradient-boosted trees, and GNNs/PINNs
- Train on Azure GPU compute using ND/NC series resources
- Apply physics-informed constraints to keep predictions physically valid, beyond purely statistical fit
- Create model-uncertainty and confidence scoring to determine which candidate designs require full simulation validation
- Retrain surrogate models as new simulation results become available
- Deploy and manage model lifecycle using Azure ML endpoints and model registry
- Monitor deployed models for drift on a rolling basis
- Benchmark surrogate runtime versus full simulation to guide platform-level performance tuning
- Partner with data scientists and MLOps teams to productionize and operationalize model workflows
Requirements
- Extensive hands-on experience building, training, and deploying ML models in production (not limited to pretrained API usage)
- 10+ years building ML for physical or engineering systems, including surrogate modeling and physics-informed or scientific ML
- Strong Python experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow
- Understanding of engineering/physics fundamentals and relevant simulation data formats in your domain
- Experience with Azure Machine Learning or a similar cloud ML platform
- Familiarity with uncertainty quantification, including Bayesian approaches and ensembling
