Industrial AI Engineer: Predictive Maintenance & Quality

CelLink Corporation; South Carolina; On-site; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

CelLink Corporation is seeking an AI Engineer to transform factory data into AI-powered solutions that improve manufacturing at scale. You’ll build production-ready models and tools to predict failures, detect defects, and optimize processes.

You’ll own the full AI lifecycle from data through deployment and monitoring, collaborating with Manufacturing, Quality, Software, and Automation teams to deliver measurable improvements in throughput, yield, and uptime.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Data Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of professional experience in AI/ML, machine learning, data science, software engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Experience developing and deploying AI/ML solutions into production, not just academic or experimental models.
• Strong Python programming skills.
• Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, or similar.
• Working knowledge of SQL, databases, APIs, version control, testing, and software deployment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work with incomplete, noisy, or rapidly changing data.
• Ability to take an ambiguous operational problem, break it down, and turn it into a practical technical solution.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex AI concepts to both technical and non-technical teams.

Responsibilities

• Build and deploy AI/ML solutions for manufacturing, quality, equipment reliability, process optimization, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, defect detection, and engineering productivity.
• Turn factory data into useful products. Build production-ready models, applications, APIs, and data pipelines using information from manufacturing equipment, MES/ERP, SPC, SCADA, machine vision, databases, and engineering systems.
• Solve real manufacturing problems. Partner with Manufacturing, Equipment, Process, Quality, Automation & Controls, Software, and other teams to identify high-value opportunities and turn operational challenges into scalable AI solutions.
• Own the full AI lifecycle from data and experimentation through model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Explore what’s next. Evaluate and apply machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, generative AI, LLMs, RAG, and AI-enabled workflows where they can create real value.
• Build responsibly. Design solutions with appropriate controls around accuracy, security, traceability, reliability, and responsible AI use.
• Work where the problems happen. Collaborate directly with the teams running our manufacturing operation and understand how your solutions perform in the real world.
• Help establish strong engineering practices around code quality, testing, version control, deployment, documentation, and scalable AI development.
