Your tasks

Focus: Building and deploying production-ready machine learning solutions with a focus on time series forecasting, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance on sensor and process data

• You develop and deploy machine learning solutions for forecasting, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance
• You design robust end-to-end solutions from data preparation and feature engineering to model evaluation and production deployment
• You select and implement the most suitable methods for each use case, ranging from strong statistical baselines to modern machine learning and deep learning approaches
• You regularly collaborate with internal stakeholders and customer representatives to ensure close alignment and effective cooperation
• You contribute to reliable ML engineering and MLOps setups across cloud, on-prem, and production environments and support the integration of models into industrial or production-related systems with constraints such as latency, security, and limited compute resources
• You present solution concepts and handle technical communication with customer representatives during proposal and acquisition phases
• You continuously follow developments in the field of time series and forecasting, including new methods, tools, and research, and apply this knowledge to deliver state-of-the-art solutions

Your profile

• You have strong expertise in forecasting and practical experience in anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, or similar sensor-driven use cases
• You have strong Python skills and hands-on experience with libraries and frameworks such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, darts, statsforecast, neuralforecast, or similar
• You have experience applying statistical, feature-based, and modern neural forecasting approaches such as ARIMA or ETS, LightGBM or XGBoost, N-BEATSx or N-HiTS, TFT or PatchTST, as well as newer time series foundation models such as TimesFM, Chronos, TimeGPT, or Moirai
• You have a solid understanding of practical forecasting topics such as multi-horizon forecasting, backtesting, probabilistic forecasting, and ideally hierarchical reconciliation
• Experience with decision optimization such as pricing, replenishment, or resource allocation, or causal-informed decision support such as causal effect estimation, Double ML, or intervention-aware modeling is a strong plus
• You have experience deploying machine learning systems into production and are familiar with software engineering and MLOps practices such as APIs, containers, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and versioning
• Initial experience with industrial or production-related deployments such as edge or on-prem setups, PLC, SCADA, or MES integration, or working under network, security, or latency constraints is a plus
• You are a strong communicator with very good German skills at least at B2 level and excellent English skills at C1 level or higher
• You enjoy occasional business trips to customer sites in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
