AI Engineer (Azure OpenAI | LLM | RAG | AI Agents)

About The Role We're hiring an AI Developer to build AI agents and intelligent solutions at the intersection of technology and advanced manufacturing processes. This is a cross-domain role: you'll partner closely with PhD-level domain experts to understand complex scientific and process challenges, map those processes, and translate them into AI-driven solutions built on the Azure AI stack.

Responsibilities

• Design and build AI agents and end-to-end solutions that solve problems spanning multiple technical and manufacturing domains
• Work directly with domain PhDs and subject-matter experts to understand, document, and map complex processes
• Translate scientific and process knowledge into structured workflows, models, and agentic systems
• Develop and integrate solutions using Azure AI services (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Azure Machine Learning)
• Build RAG pipelines, orchestration workflows, and tool-calling agents grounded in domain knowledge
• Deploy, monitor, and optimize solutions in production with appropriate security and governance

Requirements Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Strong programming skills in Python
• Hands-on experience with the Azure AI ecosystem (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry / ML, Cognitive Services)
• Experience building LLM-based applications, AI agents, and RAG systems
• Ability to interface with technical domain experts and translate specialized knowledge into working systems
• Strong analytical and process-mapping skills; comfortable working across unfamiliar technical domains
• Familiarity with orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel) and MLOps

Nice to Have

• Exposure to advanced manufacturing or scientific/industrial process environments
• Experience with industrial/IoT or time-series data
• Azure certifications (e.g., AI Engineer Associate
