Principal Data Scientist

NI’s (Emerson subsidiary) Optimal+ platform is playing in the field of Industrial IoT and is the only Big Data analytics platform that provides an end-to-end product analytics solution for automotive, semiconductors and electronics companies.

The data science group is led from the Israel R&D site. This group is responsible for both customer engagement and company level machine learning strategy, infrastructure, and roadmap. As leaders in the field, we have an important role in bringing the full AI potential to manufacturing. We are working closely with our customers delivering the right platform for machine learning together with the right solutions, infrastructures, and methodologies to handle the full life cycle of machine learning in production!

As part of the company AI roadmap, the principal Data Scientist will be responsible for evaluating different ML frameworks, algorithms, methodologies, and tools. Builds generic machine learning applications (from use case initiation to actual deployment) and initiate improvements of internal and external (customers) methods and practices. The Industrial domain (semiconductors, electronics and automotive) is very exciting as it comes to machine learning implementation and deployment due to the high cost of escapes/model inaccuracy, business workflow complexity, IT restrictions and regulation.

If you are very skilled in ML, motivated by challenges and want to take a leading part in bringing the AI revolution to Industrial IoT – this may be the right position for you!
