Role Overview

We are looking for an AI/ML Engineer with 2 - 6 years of industry experience to develop and deploy machine learning solutions for industrial and smart manufacturing use cases. The role involves working with real-world industrial data, developing predictive and analytical models, and translating business and operational requirements into scalable AI/ML solutions.

The ideal candidate should have strong fundamentals in machine learning, Python, data processing, model development, and deployment, along with an interest in applying AI to manufacturing, industrial automation, and operational optimization.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, train, and evaluate machine learning models for industrial and manufacturing use cases.
• Analyze large and complex datasets to identify patterns, trends, anomalies, and opportunities for optimization.
• Perform data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, and performance evaluation.
• Develop solutions for use cases such as predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, quality prediction, process optimization, forecasting, and equipment monitoring.
• Work with structured and time-series data generated from industrial equipment, machines, sensors, and operational systems.
• Develop and optimize ML pipelines for data preparation, model training, validation, and deployment.
• Collaborate with domain experts, data engineers, software engineers, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
• Deploy machine learning models into production environments and monitor model performance.
• Troubleshoot model and data-related issues and continuously improve model accuracy, reliability, and scalability.
• Develop reusable code, APIs, and components to integrate ML models with enterprise and industrial applications.
• Document models, methodologies, experiments, results, and technical implementations.
• Stay updated with emerging AI/ML techniques, industrial AI trends, and smart manufacturing technologies.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong programming experience in Python.
• Good understanding of Machine Learning algorithms and concepts.
• Experience with libraries/frameworks such as Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, and preferably TensorFlow or PyTorch.
• Strong understanding of data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, validation, and evaluation.
• Experience working with time-series data is preferred.
• Good understanding of statistical concepts and data analysis.
• Experience with SQL and relational databases.
• Understanding of model deployment and productionization of ML solutions.
• Familiarity with Git and software development best practices.
• Good problem-solving and analytical skills.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in Industrial AI, Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, or Industrial IoT (IIoT).
• Experience with predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, forecasting, or quality inspection.
• Exposure to sensor data, machine/equipment data, telemetry, or real-time industrial data.
• Knowledge of computer vision for manufacturing or quality inspection use cases.
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or CI/CD for ML deployment.
• Knowledge of MLOps concepts and tools.
• Exposure to Generative AI/LLMs is an added advantage. 

GEMBA CONCEPTS

Experience: ~3–5 years Type: Full-time

AI/ML Engineer

Location: Bengaluru, India (Hybrid)

About Gemba Concepts

Gemba Concepts is a lean manufacturing and technology consulting firm helping clients across pharma, manufacturing, and logistics

modernize how they operate. We build production systems that sit close to the shop floor — warehouse management, manufacturing

traceability, and an applied AI/ML platform whose flagship use cases are visual quality inspection and predictive maintenance. We’re a

tight engineering team that ships real systems for demanding, often regulated, environments.

The Role

We’re looking for an AI/ML Engineer to take ML capabilities from prototype to production. You’ll own models end-to-end — framing the

problem with stakeholders, building and validating the model, and deploying it as a reliable service that holds up against real-world, messy

industrial data. This is a hands-on building role, not a pure research seat: your work goes into client-facing systems.

What You’ll Do

Build and ship computer vision models for visual quality inspection (defect detection, classification, segmentation) that perform under

real factory lighting, throughput, and edge-case conditions.

Develop predictive maintenance models using sensor/time-series data — anomaly detection, remaining-useful-life estimation, failure

prediction.

Own the full ML lifecycle: data pipelines, feature engineering, training, evaluation, and deployment, with proper versioning and monitoring.

Deploy and serve models in production on Azure (AKS), and keep them healthy — track drift, retraining triggers, and latency.

Integrate LLM-based capabilities (we use the Claude API and self-hosted open models) into delivery and product workflows where they

add leverage.

Collaborate with product, engineering, and domain experts to translate fuzzy operational problems into well-scoped ML solutions — and to

know when ML is not the right answer.

Communicate results and limitations clearly to non-ML stakeholders, including clients.

What We’re Looking For

3–5 years of hands-on experience building and deploying ML models in production (not just notebooks or coursework).

Strong Python and the modern ML stack — PyTorch or TensorFlow, scikit-learn, NumPy/Pandas.

Solid grounding in at least one of: computer vision (CNNs, object detection/segmentation, image preprocessing) or time-series /

anomaly detection.

Practical MLOps experience: containerization (Docker), model serving, experiment tracking, and deploying on a cloud platform — Azure /

Kubernetes (AKS) is a strong plus.

Comfort working with imperfect, real-world data — labeling strategy, class imbalance, data drift, and validation that reflects production

reality.

Good engineering hygiene (Git, testing, code review) and the ability to write code others can build on.

Nice to Have

Experience with industrial / manufacturing data or regulated environments (pharma, 21 CFR Part 11 awareness).

Hands-on LLM integration experience — RAG, prompt engineering, working with APIs or self-hosted models (vLLM, Qwen, etc.).

Edge deployment experience (running CV models on-device / near the line).

Exposure to data pipeline tooling and orchestration.

What You’ll Get

Real ownership of ML systems that go into production for serious clients.

A lean, senior-heavy team where you ship fast and learn across the stack.

Direct exposure to applied AI in manufacturing — a domain where the work has tangible, physical impact
