AI/ML Engineer

Introduction
In this role, you'll work in one of our IBM Consulting Client Innovation Centers (Delivery Centers), where we deliver deep technical and industry expertise to a wide range of public and private sector clients around the world. Our delivery centers offer our clients locally based skills and technical expertise to drive innovation and adoption of new technology.

At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, let's talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities
We are seeking an experienced AI Engineer to join the Asset Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for building innovative AI-powered solutions that integrate with various systems and applications. You will also be working with the broader team to build, analyse and improve the AI solutions. You will be working primarily in one of our key solutions called the IBM Inspection Suite. The set of products enables clients to use AI to inspect parts and equipment for defects or anomalies using models such as Yolo3 that are trained in formats compatible with mobile devices (iPhones, Androids) such as CoreML and Tensorflow Lite. You will directly collaborate with the CTO of the asset and the technical team who architect, develop, enhance, and govern the asset.
