Senior Machine Learning Engineer

About this role

This position is located in Tokyo and focuses on developing optimization engines for energy-management products that use battery electric vehicles. The engines automatically control charging and discharging behavior to reduce energy costs and provide an intuitive user experience.

The role involves designing, building, and validating machine-learning and optimization models. The products connect with multiple types of software and use data obtained from those connected systems. The posting requires past experience developing optimization systems for user-friendly products using LLM or AI.

The team includes engineers who have built the basic foundation of the system. The position adds technical expertise for the models at the core of the product and requires consideration of the user perspective. The role also involves communicating with technical, product, and business stakeholders.
