Über diese Senior Machine Learning Engineer Stelle bei Protolabs
Protolabs · Vor Ort · Hyderabad
Join the team as our new Senior Machine Learning Engineer – India
You will play a key role in advancing Protolabs’ intelligent pricing capabilities by building, maintaining, and improving machine learning models that support real-time quoting for custom-manufactured parts. Working within a complex two-sided marketplace, you will model demand and supply dynamics to improve pricing accuracy and automation, enabling scalable, data-driven decisions even before manufacturing cost inputs are available. You will work closely with engineering, data, product, and domain teams to develop innovative solutions that improve pricing performance and support business growth.
What You'll Do:
Build & Evolve Machine Learning Models
- Develop, improve, and maintain machine learning models that capture demand and supply dynamics within a digital manufacturing marketplace.
- Build and refine pricing-related models supporting intelligent and automated quoting.
- Develop models for cost estimation from CAD geometry, demand forecasting, and partner routing probability.
- Apply a range of machine learning techniques, including tree-based methods, probabilistic models, and deep learning, to solve both new and existing business challenges.
- Translate complex marketplace inputs such as part geometry, order history, and partner capacity into meaningful model features.
- Design, build, and maintain reliable machine learning training and inference pipelines on AWS.
- Develop scalable workflows for experimentation, model training, validation, and deployment.
- Apply appropriate model versioning and experiment tracking practices.
- Build solutions that support reliable production machine learning systems.
- Contribute to scaling ML infrastructure as model and business requirements evolve.
- Conduct offline experiments to evaluate and validate model improvements before deployment.
- Apply A/B testing and backtesting approaches to assess model performance.
- Monitor models in production and proactively identify model drift, degradation, or unexpected behaviour.
- Support monitoring, alerting, and retraining workflows to maintain model performance over time.
- Continuously improve models based on production performance and evolving business requirements.
- Work closely with ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Product teams, and domain experts in cross-functional teams.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to understand marketplace dynamics and translate business challenges into machine learning solutions.
- Work with real-world, complex, and imperfect datasets to develop practical solutions to ambiguous problems.
- Communicate model behaviour, results, and technical considerations effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Contribute to the development of machine learning capabilities that support manufacturing intelligence and business growth.
- Mentor and support mid-level and junior engineers within the team.
- Share machine learning engineering practices, technical knowledge, and lessons learned.
- Contribute to a collaborative engineering environment focused on continuous learning and improvement.
- Stay up to date with advancements in machine learning, particularly in pricing, marketplace modelling, and manufacturing intelligence.
- Evaluate emerging approaches and techniques that could improve model performance and business outcomes.
- Apply relevant advances pragmatically to production machine learning challenges.
