Agentic AI Engineering Manager

Short Description:This opportunity is with a globally recognized leader in the automotive industry. You'll be working alongside leading technical experts from all around the world, on a variety of products involving Agentic AI solutions leveraging MCP to solve Supply Chain Problems across the industryDescription Background: Supply Chain Analytics Team is looking for an AI Engineering Manager experienced in NLP/LLM/GenAI, who is hands-on and can employ many NLP/Prompt engineering techniques from traditional statistical/ML NLP to DL-based sequence models and transformers in their day-to-day work. AI Technical Manager will lead a small team as well as consult across the Supply Chain Analytics Team to support the implementation of Agentic AI solutions. Responsibilities:Design NLP/LLM/GenAI applications/products by following robust coding practicesDesign Agentic AI Systems leveraging MCP protocol (or Google ADK)Explore SoTA models/techniques so that they can be applied for automotive industry use casesConduct ML experiments to train/infer models; if need be, build models that abide by memory & latency restrictions, Deploy REST APIs or a minimalistic UI for NLP applications using Docker and Kubernetes toolsShowcase NLP/LLM/GenAI applications in the best way possible to users through web frameworks (Dash, Plotly, Streamlit, etc.,)Converge multibots into super apps using LLMs with multimodalitiesDevelop agentic workflow using Autogen, Agentbuilder, langgraph and MCP protocolsBuild modular AI/ML products that could be consumed at scale.Qualification: Experience: 5+ years. Management experience is preferred but not mandatoryEducation: Master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Maths or Science Performed any modern NLP/LLM courses/open competitions is also welcomed. Technical Requirements:Experience in LLM models like Gemini, GPT5 and moreWork through the complete lifecycle of Gen AI model development, from training and testing to deployment and performance monitoring.Experience in building and deploying Agentic AI products leveraging MCP protocol (or Google ADK)Developing and maintaining AI pipelines with multimodalities like text, image, audio etc. Have implemented in real-world Chatbots or conversational agents at scale handling different data sources. Experience in developing Image generation/translation tools using any of the latent diffusion models like stable diffusion, Instruct pix2pix. Expertise in handling large scale structured and unstructured data.Efficiently handled large-scale generative AI datasets and outputs.Familiarity in the use of Docker tools, pipenv/conda/poetry envComfort level in following Python project management best practices (use of setup.py, logging, pytests, relative module imports, sphinx docs,etc.,)Familiarity in use of Github (clone, fetch, pull/push, raising issues and PR, etc.,)High familiarity in the use of DL theory/practices in NLP applicationsComfort level to code in Huggingface, LangChain, Chainlit, Tensorflow and/or Pytorch, Scikit-learn, Numpy and PandasComfort level to use two or more of open source NLP modules like SpaCy, TorchText, fastai.text, farm-haystack, and othersKnowledge in fundamental text data processing (like use of regex, token/word analysis, spelling correction/noise reduction in text, segmenting noisy unfamiliar sentences/phrases at right places, deriving insights from clustering, etc.,) Have implemented in real-world BERT/or other transformer fine-tuned models (Seq classification, NER or QA) from data preparation, model creation and inference till deployment Use of GCP services like BigQuery, Cloud function, Cloud run, Cloud Build, VertexAI, Good working knowledge on other open-source packages to benchmark and derive summaryExperience in using GPU/CPU of cloud and on-prem infrastructuresSkillset to leverage cloud platform for Data Engineering, Big Data and ML needs.Use of Dockers (experience in experimental docker features, docker-compose, etc.,)Familiarity with orchestration tools such as airflow, KubeflowExperience in CI/CD, infrastructure as code tools like terraform etc. Kubernetes or any other containerization tool with experience in Helm, Argoworkflow, etc.,Ability to develop APIs with compliance, ethical, secure and safe AI tools. Good UI skills to visualize and build better applications using Gradio, Dash, Streamlit, React, Django, etc.,Deeper understanding of javascript, css, angular, html, etc., is a plus. Miscellaneous Skills:Data Engineering: Skillsets to perform distributed computing (specifically parallelism and scalability in Data Processing, Modeling and Inferencing through Spark, Dask, RapidsAI or RapidscuDF)Ability to build python-based APIs (e.g.: use of FastAPIs/ Flask/ Django for APIs)Experience in Elastic Search and Apache Solr is a plus, vector databases.
