Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Intelligence
Job description
Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the full technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, the manufacturing execution system (ArsenalOS) that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that eliminate manual toil from both the shop floor and business operations. MDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology.
As a Senior ML Engineer on the Applied Intelligence…
Job responsibilities
- Architect and own the AI/ML platform stack—from data ingestion, labeling, and feature engineering to model training, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management for factory sensing and intelligent automation…
- Select, prioritize, and standardize industrial AI components including feature stores, vector databases for RAG pipelines, OCR/IDP and computer vision model serving, orchestration layers, and observability systems.
- Build model-serving and inference frameworks optimized for production environments, supporting real-time and batch execution across cloud, edge, and shop-floor systems.
- Partner with manufacturing engineers and factory operators to understand production workflows and translate them into MLOps requirements.
- Write production-quality code with comprehensive tests, participating in code review and architectural discussions.
- Translate factory scenarios (quality inspection, receiving, root-cause analysis, document processing) into applied AI workflows with defined human-in-the-loop gates, audit trails, and integration contracts with PLM,…
- Implement event-driven data pipelines and telemetry systems that feed models with contextualized, real-time signals from factory sensors, production systems, and logistics operations.
- Deploy and operate your systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters and OT networks.
Job requirements
- 8+ years of experience in a software engineering role building production systems, ideally in a fast-paced environment.
- Deep expertise in MLOps with end-to-end experience delivering production-grade AI/ML systems.
- Strong technical fluency in modern software architectures, APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, and cloud or edge infrastructure.
- Deep experience with MLOps: data acquisition, labeling, curation, pipeline management, model versioning, continuous integration, and model monitoring.
- Strong proficiency in Python and experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
- Experience building and deploying containerized ML services using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Proficiency in data engineering, time-series data modeling, and working with semantic/ontology-driven data systems.
- Experience implementing observability for model performance, inference accuracy, and data drift.
