Role Overview
Are you passionate about building impactful AI solutions that solve real-world problems? Join us in bringing to life a new suite of enterprise-grade products under NPXai-a cutting-edge platform designed to enhance the effectiveness of nuclear professionals. You'll work at the intersection of AI innovation and engineering excellence, helping streamline complex workflows, eliminate non-value-added tasks, and deliver insights that support critical decision-making in one of the most highly regulated industries. This is your opportunity to shape the future of work in the nuclear sector by creating intelligent, secure, and scalable AI-powered tools.
Occasional travel may be required for this position.
Salary Range: $130-160k (Exact compensation may vary).
Responsibilities
- Design and develop AI-powered solutions using Microsoft Azure services, including OpenAI, Cognitive Search, Vision, Document Intelligence, and Cosmos DB for vector storage.
- Build and iterate on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and knowledge-grounded architectures, including GraphRAG and emerging techniques like OmniRAG.
- Rapidly prototype AI applications tailored to specific client needs, such as document digitization, data vectorization, and content generation workflows.
- Contribute to the architecture and implementation of advanced AI systems, including agent-based orchestration and integration with modern APIs and platforms.
- Prepare and structure training data, including labeled inputs for both text and image-based models, with a focus on production readiness and model performance.
- Evaluate and adopt new tools and frameworks based on AI/ML advancements, ensuring that implementations are stable and scalable.
- Collaborate across teams to deliver high-impact, cloud-native applications using Python (especially Azure's AI SDK). Exposure to JavaScript/TypeScript or Node.js is considered an asset.
- Apply familiarity with engineering documentation and visuals (e.g., diagrams, schematics) to enhance AI-driven workflows where applicable.
What You Bring to the Table
- 4-7 years of relevant experience in software or AI/ML development.
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure AI services, including OpenAI, AI Search, Vision, Document Intelligence, and Cosmos DB.
- Proven ability to develop and deploy retrieval-based AI solutions using RAG pipelines, knowledge graphs, and related architectures.
- Demonstrated skill in rapidly building and iterating AI prototypes based on client requirements.
- Strong Python development skills, with experience using Azure’s AI SDK.
- Experience designing and implementing AI solution architectures, including agent-based systems and orchestration tools.
- Awareness of current and emerging AI/ML research, with the ability to assess production readiness.
- Exposure to front-end or full-stack development (JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js) is an asset.
- Familiarity with engineering or technical documentation (e.g., schematics, diagrams) is considered an asset.
- Ability to independently structure and label data for AI training pipelines.
