  • Lead projects with complete independence and help from PMs even when business, product, and technical strategies are not defined and the problems to be solved are not known.
  • Work with PMs to define use cases, collect data, and benchmark the results.
  • Work with software engineering teams to develop industrial AI platforms and applications.
  • Contribute to Gauss Labs's intellectual property pools by publishing patents and technical papers.
  • Communicate effectively with senior management as well as with colleagues from science, engineering, and business backgrounds.

  • Research experience in machine learning and data science handling time-series data, predictive modeling, and anomaly detection.
  • Proven achievements in developing and managing a long-term research vision and portfolio of research initiatives, with algorithms and models that have been successfully integrated into production systems.
  • Project management experience working with cross-functional teams in multiple geographic locations.
