Descripción del empleo

Siemens builds the systems the physical world runs on: factories, power grids, buildings, trains, hospitals. Industrial and physical AI is a major opportunity in applied AI, and one of the harder ones to get right. There is a generation of AI-powered products to build.

We are an applied science organization building the science behind them. The work sits at the intersection of machine learning research, real world data, and production systems running in industrial environments.

AsSeniorApplied Scientist, you lead the science on a major capability area inside the pod. You take ambiguous problems through hypothesis, method selection, experimentation, and into models that run in production. You arehandson with the modeling, and you are accountable for the rigor and the outcome.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will work in close partnership with engineers and product managers who turn your work into product.
