Department Overview
Job Description
As an Applied AI Engineer I on our Supply Chain team you will help bridge the gap between cutting-edge artificial intelligence and real-world logistical challenges. You will work closely with senior engineers data scientists and supply chain operators to build and deploy intelligent systems that optimize our operations. A major focus of this role will be developing Conversational AI interfaces for our supply chain data and subsequently evolving those tools into proactive alerting systems and semi/fully autonomous AI agents that can execute decisions in real time. Moving from foundational support to owning specific project components you will play a hands-on role in making our supply chain smarter faster and more resilient.
Conversational AI for Data: Build and maintain Large Language Model (LLM) applications (such as Text-to-SQL or RAG systems) that allow stakeholders to easily query ERP warehouse and logistics data using natural language.
Proactive Alerting Systems: Expand conversational tools into active monitoring systems that continuously analyze supply chain data streams detect anomalies (e.g. inventory shortages shipping delays) and automatically push alerts and actionable recommendations to operators before bottlenecks occur.
Autonomous & Semi-Autonomous Agents: Develop and deploy agentic AI workflows that can take independent actionsuch as rerouting shipments generating purchase orders or automating vendor communicationswhile designing secure Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) fallback mechanisms.
Model Development & Deployment: Collaborate on designing training and deploying standard machine learning models for supply chain optimization (e.g. route planning demand forecasting).
Data Pipeline Engineering: Write clean production-ready code to extract clean and preprocess large datasets from our core operational systems to feed both predictive models and LLMs.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with supply chain analysts and domain experts to translate operational pain points into actionable agentic AI solutions.
Programming: Strong proficiency in Python and standard data manipulation libraries (e.g. Pandas NumPy).
AI/ML & Generative AI: Hands-on experience (through internships academic projects or previous roles) with LLMs prompt engineering and agentic AI frameworks (e.g. LangChain LangGraph AutoGen or CrewAI).
Database Skills: Solid understanding of SQL and experience querying relational databases to support conversational data retrieval.
Problem Solving: A strong analytical mindset with a genuine curiosity about how goods move and how systems can be optimized through autonomous workflows.
Communication: Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical supply chain stakeholders.
Event-Driven Architecture: Exposure to data streaming webhooks or event-driven systems to support real-time proactive alerting.
Domain Knowledge: Basic understanding of supply chain management logistics procurement or manufacturing concepts.
Cloud Platforms: Experience with cloud computing environments (AWS GCP or Azure) and their respective AI/ML services.
Software Engineering Best Practices: Familiarity with version control (Git) containerization (Docker) API development and CI/CD pipelines.
