AI/ML Engineer

About the role

Yokogawa is seeking an AI/ML Engineer to design, develop, and implement advanced artificial intelligence solutions for the oil & gas industry. You will work within a global Project Delivery team, applying cutting‑edge machine learning techniques to optimise plant operations and support asset performance management.

Key responsibilities

• Develop dynamic process simulation models to emulate multiple plant scenarios.
• Perform exploratory data analysis, data preprocessing, and generate intelligent recommendations.
• Implement classical machine learning methods for soft‑sensor creation and reinforcement learning models for autonomous plant control.
• Design AI models that diagnose plant upsets and enhance maintenance strategies.
• Leverage generative AI, large language models, and deep reinforcement learning to build multi‑agent systems for collaborative decision‑making.
• Ensure AI solutions are scalable, deployable, and integrate with PLC, DCS, SCADA, historians, EAM, MES/MOM, SCM, and ERP platforms.
• Maintain compliance with ethical AI principles, focusing on fairness, transparency, and bias mitigation.

Required profile

• Proven technical expertise and leadership in delivering AI/ML solutions for industrial environments, particularly oil & gas.
• Strong experience in data ingestion, feature engineering, model deployment, and monitoring.
• Ability to collaborate with domain experts, process engineers, and project managers to translate operational challenges into AI‑driven solutions.

Required skills

• Machine Learning (classical algorithms, soft‑sensor development).
• Reinforcement Learning and Deep Reinforcement Learning.
• Generative AI and Large Language Models.
• Process simulation modeling.
• Exploratory data analysis and data preprocessing.
• Integration with PLC, DCS, SCADA, historians, EAM, MES/MOM, SCM, and ERP systems.
• Model deployment, monitoring, and ethical AI compliance.
