Job Summary
Role Overview
We are seeking a Forward Deployed Applied AI Engineer to embed directly with our business units and thermal-asset operations teams and own AI solutions end-to-end from problem discovery through production. This is a builders role not an advisory one: you will sit with operators and domain experts scope where AI can remove real cost or risk write the production code deploy it and stay accountable for it running reliably.
The role combines two demands that rarely sit together: a strong machine-learning foundation (you will maintain and improve models that run our assets) and hands-on agentic AI engineering. The ideal candidate is delivery-oriented comfortable with ambiguity and motivated by business impact over benchmarks.
