    • Employ frequency-domain and time-domain techniques to extract vital features from sensor signals.
    • Combine analytical techniques with in-depth expertise to transform raw sensor data into actionable insights, guiding maintenance decisions and enhancing machinery performance.
    • Explore novel algorithms to improve feature engineering and enhance model performance.
    • Work closely with condition monitoring engineers to refine predictive maintenance solutions
  • Model Development & Deployment
    • Develop and refine machine learning models—ranging from classical algorithms to advanced deep learning approaches—to detect anomalies, diagnose issues, and predict failures.
    • Optimize model efficiency for real-world deployment, ensuring robust performance in operational environments.
    • Collaborate with MLOps and engineering teams to integrate models into production, ensuring scalability and reliability.
    • Continuously assess model performance, conduct experiments and iterative improvements to ensure models are robust and tailored to various industrial use cases.
    • Create dashboards and alerts that provide actionable intelligence to stakeholders.
  • Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing
    • Communicate technical concepts and findings to diverse audiences, including operations, management, and technical peers.
    • Maintain thorough documentation of data processing pipelines, model architectures, and solution designs.
    • Contribute to an environment of continuous learning and best-practice sharing.

Who You Are:

  • Educational Background
    • Master’s or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related field.
  • Technical Expertise
    • Programming: Strong programming skills in Python (preferred), with proficiency in ML libraries like TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
    • Signal Processing: Solid grasp of time-series analysis and feature extraction methods (e.g., time domain analysis, spectral analysis, envelope analysis, wavelet analysis).
    • Machine Learning: Experience building models for anomaly detection, classification, or time-series forecasting.
    • Deployment & Data Management: Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), containerization (Docker), and SQL databases.
  • Domain Knowledge
    • Proven experience in vibration analysis and fault detection of industrial systems and equipment (e.g., rotating machinery such as pumps, gearboxes, or electric motors).
  • Soft Skills
    • Strong communication and presentation abilities, enabling effective collaboration across diverse teams.
    • Demonstrated problem-solving skills and proactive thinking in addressing complex industrial challenges.
    • A collaborative mindset with a willingness to share knowledge and support team members.

What We Offer: 

AssetWatch is a remote-first rapidly growing startup providing a game changing condition monitoring platform and mobile experience in the industrial manufacturing space. 

  • Competitive compensation package including share options. 
  • Flexible work schedule 
  • Full benefits and 401K 
  • Opportunity to make a real impact every day 
  • Opportunity to work with an exciting and growing team 
  • Unlimited PTO 

We have a distributed team that works remotely across locations in the United States. We are open to candidates from most states but collaboration within core working hours is required.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
