Job Description
At Applied AI we develop exciting new AI solutions in innovative projects we strengthen research industry and the public sector. We create positive effects on society through technological development together with external partners and access to the latest research.
About the role
We are looking for an AI & Robotics Scientist with strong expertise across data science robotics and software engineering to drive the next generation of data-driven industrial automation solutions. With a proven background in model-driven engineering applied machine learning and interdisciplinary research you will play a key role in transforming industrial data into actionable insights optimizing processes and bridging the gap between AI innovation and operational deployment.
This role is ideal for someone who combines curiosity technical knowledge and hands-on experience across academia and industry. Someone who thrives in working at the intersection of research engineering and applied data science.
Your responsibilities include:
- Lead the development of machine learning and AI models for automation use cases such as predictive maintenance mission assurance and process optimization.
- Design and implement knowledge-driven approaches (e.g. knowledge graphs model-driven engineering) to improve data reusability verifiability and interpretability.
- Architect and manage data pipelines integrating IoT sensors robotics systems and industrial control environments.
- Translate advanced data science methods (e.g. statistical modeling graph analytics optimization) into robust real-world industrial applications.
- Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams (automation engineers researchers industry partners) to align analytics solutions with operational goals.
- Mentor colleagues contribute to capacity building and supervision experience to strengthen organizational knowledge.
- Contribute to research and innovation projects (e.g. EU/Vinnova/Energimyndigheten) by preparing technical content and reports.
- Act as a bridge between academic insights and industrial practice ensuring that innovative methods are practical explainable and industry-ready.
About you
- You have a PhD in Computer Science Data Science Robotics or Automation Engineering.
- You enjoy working across domains from robotics and automation to data-intensive applications.
- You have a proven ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
