Data Scientist

Job Title: Data Scientist

Location: Wayne, IN 46809 (Hybrid)

Duration: 6-12 months contract

Position Summary:

·         We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Data Scientist with a strong background in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.

·         The ideal candidate has direct experience applying AI within the utility, energy, or industrial sector.

·         You will lead the design, development, and deployment of intelligent systems that translate unstructured operational data (technical manuals, maintenance logs, field reports) into actionable insights.

Key Responsibilities:

·         Develop RAG Pipelines: Design and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models to enhance LLM-driven troubleshooting and field operations.

·         AI Model Development: Fine-tune and evaluate LLMs (e.g., GPT-4, Llama 3) for task-specific reasoning and accuracy.

·         Knowledge Integration: Build high-quality Python code to integrate vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate) to store and retrieve technical utility documents efficiently.

·         Operational Intelligence: Apply LLM solutions to analyze unstructured utility data, such as asset management logs, SCADA alerts, and maintenance records.

·         Deployment: Work with software engineers to deploy and scale models in cloud environments (Azure/AWS).

·         Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with field operations, engineering teams, and stakeholders to understand data needs and deliver solutions.

Required Qualifications:

·         Experience: Professional experience in Data Science/Machine Learning, with at least 1 year focusing specifically on LLMs and Generative AI.

·         Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Python (PyTorch/TensorFlow, LangChain, LlamaIndex) and SQL.

·         Domain Knowledge: Proven experience in the utility, energy, oil & gas, or heavy industrial sectors.

·         RAG Expertise: Hands-on experience with vector embeddings, semantic search, and prompt engineering.
