We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to lead the development and deployment of cutting-edge AI models for our Intelligent Supply Chain and platform initiatives. In this pivotal role, you will oversee the entire lifecycle of machine learning systems—from architectural design and data preprocessing to model training, optimization, and secure production deployment. Your work will bridge generative AI and traditional machine learning, driving innovation in two key areas: the platform, which automates requirements engineering through advanced LLMs, and Intelligent Supply Chain, which delivers predictive risk scoring and demand forecasting. Operating within a structured 'Sprint Zero' to 'Stage Gate' delivery framework, you will ensure that our models are not only highly accurate but also robust, explainable, and deployable within stringent defense-grade security environments. This role demands expertise in both technical execution and cross-functional collaboration, as you will work closely with domain experts, data scientists, and backend engineers to translate complex business challenges into scalable AI solutions. Your contributions will directly impact critical national infrastructure, shaping the resilience of supply chains and the design of defense systems through advanced machine learning applications.Job Description: AI Software EngineerJob Location: UAERole Summary
