Job Description

An artificial intelligence (AI)/ Machine Learning (ML) specialist applies their skills in engineering and computer science to create machines and software programs that can think for themselves. Most often, they use AI principles to address persistent business pain points, augment the capability of technical and human resources, and execute a change management/transformation process. The key contribution of an AI specialist is using emerging technologies, such as machine learning (ML) and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), to solve business problems in new and creative ways that provide greater insight, accuracy, and consistency.

Machine Learning Engineer responsibilities include creating machine learning models and retraining systems.Your ultimate goal will be to shape and build efficient self-learning applications.You will be evaluating existing machine learning (ML) processes, performing statistical analysis to resolve data set problems, and enhancing the accuracy of our AI software's predictive automation capabilities.
