Machine Learning Engineer

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you ensure that AI models move from research into reliable production. You bridge the gap between innovation and operational reality. Where research ends, you take the lead. Your role consists primarily of MLOps (approximately 75%) and partly of research and data engineering (approximately 25%). MLOps & Production You turn research models into robust, scalable solutions for production environments You build MLOps pipelines, monitoring and model versioning to keep models running reliably You optimize models for production. This includes ONNX conversion, TensorRT inference optimization and quantization You support customers with model-related issues and resolve them quickly and sustainably Research & Data Engineering You analyze data, validate models and help further develop the data structure You work on computer vision applications, including: Automatic sorting of clothing by color, material and quality Defect detection through image analysis Pricing based on photographs You will have the opportunity to contribute to innovative projects such as textile sorting, shoe matching and picking systems Collaboration You work closely with a research-driven AI engineer. You ensure that what works in the lab continues to work on the factory floor: high-performing, monitored and maintainable. Who are you? Hands-on and pragmatic. You enjoy making things truly work You keep up with new AI tools and trends and are confident applying them, including in areas where the team has not yet built expertise You enjoy making complex matters simple You work in a structured way and maintain a clear overview in a dynamic R&D environment
