Senior AI Engineer: Production ML & Multi-Agent Systems

IPS Technology Services; Dearborn (MI); Hybrid; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

IPS Technology Services invites an Artificial Intelligence Senior Associate to join our scalable AI initiatives in Dearborn, MI. You will design and implement intelligent programs, cognitive apps, and AI-driven data analysis pipelines, leveraging deep learning, NLP, and RAG techniques.

The role emphasizes production-grade software engineering, multi-agent orchestration, and safe deployment on cloud platforms.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3+ years building production software systems, including 1–2+ years on ML/AI or LLM-based applications.
• Strong Python proficiency, including async/concurrent programming, and backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask).
• Hands-on experience with agent orchestration frameworks — LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, or equivalent — for building stateful, multi-step, tool-using agent workflows.
• Practical experience building RAG pipelines: vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, or Qdrant), embeddings, chunking strategies, and retrieval evaluation. Cloud deployment experience, ideally Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Cloud Run/GKE, Vertex AI, Pub/Sub) or equivalent AWS/Azure services.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with cloud data warehouses. Containerization and CI/CD experience (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions/Cloud Build).
• Experience building evaluation and observability pipelines for LLM/agent systems — offline eval sets, LLM-as-judge scoring, and tracing tools (LangSmith, Langfuse, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent).
• Understanding of LLM safety practices: guardrails, output validation, prompt-injection defense, and safe execution of AI-generated code/SQL (sandboxing, least privilege). Solid software engineering fundamentals: API design, testing, version control, security best practices.

Responsibilities

• Understand business requirements and develop AI algorithms, models and programs to solve complex problems, generate recommendations, extract patterns, make predictions, interpret sensor data, orchestrate automation and enable self-service capabilities
• Perform large-scale experimentation and develop data driven applications that translate data into actionable intelligence
• Drive innovative applications of Artificial Intelligence tools and techniques such as deep learning, generative AI, NLP, image processing, cognitive automation, progressive automation, reinforcement learning, virtual assistants and specialized programming
• Research and optimize AI technologies to enhance efficiency and accuracy of data analysis and create more efficient automation
