Sr. AI Scientist Full-time

Our Warehouse Execution Software leverages advances in classical and modern optimization techniques to bring intelligent execution to the world of intralogistics and warehouse automation. We synchronize discrete and low-level logistics related processes to create a real-time decision engine that drives labor and equipment at the highest efficiency. Our software provides customers the operational agility they need to efficiently handle the demands of an Omni-channel environment. We are looking for a highly motivated individual who can develop cutting edge algorithms using domain knowledge from Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Operations Research. The candidate should not only have a solid grasp of theoretical approaches but also a practical mindset regarding the tradeoffs between solution complexity versus optimality, emerging versus proven techniques, and coding from scratch versus utilizing existing frameworks. Many of the problems we encounter are novel and have never been solved before, so creative, out-of-the-box thinking and a fondness for experimentation are a must. We also want someone who stays current with recent trends in AI/ML so our approaches remain the most robust and competitive in the industry. Finally, the role requires strong team and interdisciplinary collaboration to see products through the development cycle from beginning to end.
