Machine Learning Engineer

Overview

The Machine Learning Engineer will work with Bastian Solutions’ R&D team to produce industry leading Autonomous Vehicle and Robotic solutions for the Material Handling Industry. With a current team size of approximately 70 members, distributed between our Boise, Dallas, and Indianapolis offices, the Bastian R&D team is composed of industry leading experts with cross-discipline skillsets and backgrounds. The Machine Learning Engineer will work alongside like-minded engineers in an Agile development environment and will have the opportunity to engage in every stage of the R&D process to bring new products to the market.

This includes research, innovation, design, prototype development, and field deployment of alpha and beta systems.

The Machine Learning Engineer is a specialist in Artificial Intelligence technology with a strong foundation in software engineering. You have a passion for research and stay appraised of the latest cutting-edge ML technologies. You have a deep understanding of how to select, create, and apply AI architectures to novel real-world problems. You understand the strategies for working with large amounts of data and have experience using MLOps tools and frameworks.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you supplement your AI expertise with a strong focus on software architecture and system design. Our team is focused on creating products that interact with the physical world to solve real-world problems. You bring your strong software foundation to the table by creating supporting libraries, tools, and frameworks to deliver our AI technology in a polished product package.

You work with product managers and customer-facing teams to deeply understand the real-world challenges we face. You interface with other multi-disciplinary engineers to help specify and design the hardware that enables our products. Most importantly, you are excited to work alongside your peers in a highly collaborative environment.
