What Makes This Role Great
This role provides a structured, high-support environment designed to build deep competencies in applied machine learning, data engineering, and modern MLOps under direct mentorship. Working within our CMS engineering organization, you will gain hands-on exposure to rich industrial datasets, participate across the full AI project lifecycle, and contribute to cutting-edge model integration. Whether you are stepping in as an Associate Engineer (P1) , you will enjoy real technical ownership, contributing to software tools that drive physical-world operations globally.
Key Exciting Responsibilities
Algorithm & Model Development: Assist in developing, implementing, and fine-tuning machine learning algorithms and foundational models, with direct exposure to advanced deep learning paradigms.
Data Engineering & Preprocessing: Own data collection, sanitization, exploratory analysis, and feature engineering tasks to ensure data quality, consistency, and industry-specific relevance.
Testing, Verification & Code Health: Execute routine testing, debugging, and comprehensive documentation of ML codebases and pipelines to ensure reproducible, high-performance systems.
ML Integration & Operationalization: Support the integration of trained models into enterprise-grade applications, adhering to standard architectural patterns while learning essential MLOps practices such as containerization, artifact tracking, and performance monitoring.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with senior engineers and domain specialists to translate ambiguous business requirements into well-defined machine learning tasks and actionable delivery milestones.
Essential Skills & Experience
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Statistics, or a closely related quantitative field (Trimble's Professional ladder typically requires four or more years of formal education).
Core ML Literacy: Strong conceptual grounding in machine learning theory, evaluation metrics, statistical techniques, and foundational deep learning concepts.
Programming Proficiency: Strong coding skills in Python, with practical experience manipulating datasets and building algorithms using standard data science libraries including NumPy, pandas, and scikit-learn.
Computer Science Foundations: Solid grasp of fundamental data structures, basic data modeling principles, and software engineering practices necessary for clean, modular code development.
